Core Tip	Kitesurfing is an increasingly popular extreme water sports with the potential to cause serious injuries. This paper presents a unique prospective cohort study investigating injuries during a complete kitesurf season. An injury rate of 10.5 per 1000 h of kitesurfing was found. Most of the injuries associated with kitesurfing are relatively mild, although kitesurfing causes severe injuries as well. Furthermore, it was shown that the foot and ankle are the most injured body parts. The outcomes of this study may provide clues for prevention.
