164 STORIES Ennio Castelletti, sailmaker apprentice at his dad Werther's workshop. Kiters have their toys: boards, bars and especially kites. In short, that set of equipment through which they practice one of the most beautiful sports in the world that consists in sailing, planing, surfing waves, taking breathtaking jumps and perform the most incredible and fun aerial manoeuvres. They are simple accessories to use, and probably today, the kitesurf equipment represents the absolute synthesis for navigation, the very essence of sailing, without any superfluity, hull, rigging, or any excessive adjustments: a board, a kite and a piloting bar. That’s it. If there is wind you can go, everything else is just excitement, adrenaline, speed and pure fun.
However, toys sooner or later break down after a continue use, especially in the sea, which with its atmospheric agents is like a grinder, salt, moisture, and sand are a severe test for materials and equipment. Kitesurfing is quite a wearing sport, and kiters often maul the equipment due to the involved loads, the speed, the powerful manoeuvres, and especially the falls, errors, waves, the always lurking obstacles in the water just like on the ground: a post, a rock, a buoy, a tree. As good as one can be, and although modern equipment guarantees high performances, sooner or later any rider experiences a breakage: a stretched line, a punctured bladder, a leading edge that explodes at the umpteenth crash on water.
