Can you use skates with kites? Yes for sure; many has done it in the past using regular hockey skates. For more stability and speed; however, you may want to use longer skates with firmer boots for more ankle support.

Besides the skates .vs. skis and the ice .vs. snow differences, kiteskating is similar to kiteskiing. Review the KiteSkiing section for more info and techniques.

Furthermore, as there is less friction on ice, you may consider to use a kite smaller than you would on snow. Also, as ice is harder, you may consider wearing the same protective stuff as a hockey player (or a snowboarder).
