That right there is what it is all about! Lou does his own thing his own way and has fun. There is no C vs Bow vs Foil or surf vs TT. He just rides, has a good time and is a great guy.

I just got a Mystic Warrior and I love it. I used to use a Dakine but it borke and I switched.

Rou, I just found your magazine the other day and it is great. I really like the layout and the videos mixed in with the text. The only thing I could add is some coverage of foil kites.

Without funds how are you going to buy new gear? A better alternative would be to find a place with a job that also has a great kite surfi...

I was thinking today about how you can tell your a kite junkie: 1. You only call in sick to work when it is sunny and 20+ knots and you never seem to make it to the doctor. 2. Your kite dealer is the first number on your speed dial. 3. The site of tress blowing in the wind gets you more excited than...

Some of my tips have already been mentioned but here is my list. 1. Point downwind on landing. In higher winds the landings will be faster because your kite is moving faster.
