Brace For Impact

We spend a fortune protecting our kiteboarding equipment, but sometimes we are rather less careful when it comes to protecting ourselves. Impact vests have come a long way, and with riders going higher, faster, and harder than ever, there is a strong argument for making one part of your everyday setup. We look at why protecting your upper body, particularly your ribs, matters, and check out some of the latest impact vests designed specifically for kiteboarding.

Board Behind Front Loop Waterstart

We often encourage new moves as variations, but if the truth be told they are merely building blocks upon a solid foundation. The old adage holds true; you have to earn the right to progress. This can be viewed as a negative motivation. However you see it, the candid fact is, that without the base you can’t build. Fortunately for...
