Beyond Big Air

Kiteboarding has never been just one thing. Yet right now, it feels like we are in danger of forgetting that.

This is a reminder of where kiteboarding came from, where it has been, and why its future depends on embracing everything it allows us to do on the water.

ION Products Amaze Core 4/3 Front Zip Wetsuit Women

When I first unboxed ION’s Amaze CORE 4/3 Front Zip, the very first thing I noticed was how incredibly soft it felt. It did not have that stiff, rubbery feel you sometimes get with thicker wetsuits.
