Kiwengwa

The beach of Kiwengwa is the longest white sand beach on the island. During low tide, a sandbank is formed, creating pool-like conditions. During the full moon, the light of the moon reflecting on the white sand makes it possible to kite until late at night. The reef and pass right in front of the spot offer perfect wave conditions...

Toeside Front Roll to Toeside

Toe to toe, a front roll with a difference. It’s funny how so much of kiting is based off one’s heels, when there are parallel universes out there comprised of all things toes, and if your name’s Tom Bridge, all things blind.

BLT to Blind

We absolutely love this one! A veritably fun little treat and an absolute banger of a cheeky move.
