Yes. You can kitesurf in very strong wind over 40 knots with equipment currently available on the market. At the kitesurfing competition in Leucate, France, 1999, a number of kitesurfers could maintain control in 50 knot gusts.

However, kitesurfing in 30+ knots is very dangerous so make sure you have the skill to do so.

Yes. You can kitesurf in very strong wind over 40 knots with equipment currently available on the market. Very skilled kitesurfers can maintain control in 50 knot gusts. Most times, however, people start to pack it in when the wind gets to 30 knots, especially in Dubai where very strong wind conditions are rare.
