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.

Jump with Tweaked Boned Grab

Having recently returned from what can only be described as a grab-tastic clinic, we hunted through the back catalogue of moves and realised that we’ve never offered any guidance on how to add a grab to a stock jump. Grabbing is the simplest method of adding that certain “je ne sais quoi” to any move. A jump is no different...
