Editorial

Rou reflects on 26 years of chasing wind and waves, and on a winter session in Pembrokeshire that reminded him exactly why he fell in love with kiteboarding in the first place. It is a story about risk, reward, and those rare moments when everything lines up: wind direction, swell, sunshine, and a little touch of magic.
