Tried and Tested

As we emerge from winter hibernation, the test team has had a few good days on the water. We’ve got the new ION Seek Select 4/3 on test, a great suit to keep you warm in the tween months either side of summer. Plus, we put two of Cabrinha's flagship kites to the test, the new Switchblade Apex and the Moto Apex!

El Gouna

El Gouna is a small town by the Red Sea that was established in 1989. EL Gouna originally started with a couple of hotels, and not much to do. I remember I used to dread going there as a kid! Over the past decade, El Gouna has thrived into one of the cosiest and most humble towns you will ever...

Surfboard Gybe Part 1

We’ve decided to go over the surfboard gybe again as its something that so many riders want to learn, and it really is just a question of practising a technique that works. Last time around, many moons ago, we took the pictures and videos in the waves and frankly it was impossible to see what was happening, and so it...

Kitesurfing Technique - Raley
Raley

For many a kiter the raley is likely to be their first foray into the world of unhooked trickery. The first low flying manoeuvre, which rewards in self-satisfaction and images of looking like the pros. The raley is jolly good fun and starts a completely new progression along one of kiting’s many paths, and for those of you who may...

The Duck Tack and Toeside Duck Tack were legitimate rip offs from the surfboard collective. This issue we’re unashamedly borrowing from kiting’s most recent, at least in popularity terms, evolution. Not quite loyal to the foil, but cheers...
