It is designed to bring the action close to the beach and right in front of the crowds and media with an easy to understand KO elimination system. Courses are generally based around downwind or figure-eight slalom courses.

: We could work on refining/combining these lists. What is the source of the content you suggest?

Peter, I've written this text myself. I know about [[Wikipedia:No_original_research]] policy, but can we find "peer-reviewed journals; books published by university presses; university-level textbooks; magazines, journals, and books published by respected publishing houses; and mainstream newspapers" about kiteboarding styles? Maybe some magazines have done review of styles, we can do some research.
Tell me, if discussion on kiteforum.com could be such "peer-reviewed" source. I could start that discussion to determine styles, that will suit most kiters.
Regarding your proposed section, I wouldn't include competition-only styles like Course racing, Speed and Kite Cross, since none of kiteboarders are doing it on a regular basis. Also Jumping and Downwinders are subsets of other styles, but I think that keeping it short is important here. I would include only distinct styles. That is why Speed/Racing/Course race style should be included, because it has distinct gear and people involved into it.
Also it could be good idea to tell, where people from other sports should look to.

Most of riders use directional boards (with straps or strapless) with bow/delta kites. Basic move is to make carving turns on top and bottom of the wave. Kite pull is used less, since power of wave is enough to surf it. Many surfers prefer this style, since it resembles [[Tow-in_surfing|tow-in surfing]]. Some riders do it unhooked after reaching the wave to minimize distance to [[Surfing|surfing]].|| [[Surfing|Surfing]], [[Tow-in_surfing|tow-in surfing]]

Kiteloops allows riders to generate enormous amount of pull and speed. Kiteloop is called megaloop, when it's performed with kite as low as rider itself. Ruben Lenten is most popular rider of this style. Most of kiteloop kiters do it on short lines and small kites. C-kites and twintip boards are most common here. || —
