Richard Branson Kite Surfing

"I learned to kitesurf on Necker twelve years ago. It was lethaly dangerous. When you fell you'd be dragged underwater 100 feet, and you prayed you didn't hit a reef, " reveals Branson.

"I survived with not too many injuries, and it's been the best sport ever since. I will kitesurf if the wind's up, get half an hour away from Blackberries and iPhones, then comeback completely refreshed ready to go."

"There are very high powered people - like Larry Page from Google and other - that kitesurf, and I think they do because they see it as therapeutic, as well as a lovely way to keep body fit."

"If you're not doing sports, it's a great pity because life is so much better if you do sports. All you need is a kite and a board, and off you go. You need a sympathetic person to spend four or five hours teaching you, then you've got a lifetime of pleasure ahead. I 100% recommend it, " concludes Richard Branson.
