Amazing to see how volatile this industry is... Wipika started it and is long dead, Flexifoil Best / Eleveight North / duotone Cabrinha / Neil pride Waiman mess with investor, As much as people can talk about passion for sport... it appears passion for money has more pull. At least so it seems. Ced

I think most aspects of one versus the other have been covered. However coming from someone who openly admits to using both (love the freedom in wave riding with a waist and when looping or boosting prefer the solid feel of a seat which doesn't rub on my broken stick out rib) I will add this: Changi...

BUM Kiteboarding...

I would love this too!

You know what bum means in Brazil?

In English English it can mean this.

Not kidding: Saw Teenagers with a trainer kite trying to launch the kite upwind from the pilot...
I informed them that perhaps they should get some basic idea first...

Hi, Try and loop later and a tighter loop, so that the kite doesn't travel too far in the window. Some kites don't loop tight so to counter that is to depower the kite slightly. Smaller kites travel faster and create more apparent wind and therefore have a spike of power as they travel through the w...

So over the last few weeks in South Africa, we've been kiting with whales... and had some unbelievable sightings. Always hard to capture it. This time we got lucky during a video shoot and got this amazing photo ... After sending it to a few people and getting feedback like: It's photoshopped! I mad...

To Kiters in Sardinia and Italy, After 36 hours I have to come to the conclusion that whoever took the 11m Escape v6 (2018) from the beach "Le Saline" near Olbia may not have had the intention of returning it to one of the local schools or shop... The last two guys on the beach (and apparently seen ...

Sardinia 2017

Having a blast in Sardinia on the bigger Escape v6 sizes (9m, 11m, 15m) So far have had some nice sessions with the 11 and 9. 11m has some good hang time for old school stuff and the 9m loops fast enough.

Sad state of affair in our sport.
Imagine being a kid who has put everything into getting into the world tour right now...
Sponsors are scratching their heads on where to put their efforts...
It's just a mess.
But perhaps it's just the nature of this sport. Not meant to be put in boxes.
