Providenciales
The Turks and Caicos Islands are famous for their endlessly beautiful turquoise waters and stunning beaches. As a kiteboarding location, the country still flies under the radar, allowing visiting kiters to enjoy pristine waters with relatively few other people.

Unhooked Popped Front Grab
Here we go – unhooked grabs always seem like a good idea until you decide to try one, and the task ahead seems a little bit more daunting than the initial light bulb moment. That said, there’s no reason not to add some picante to your unhooked moves. We’ll start off here with the popped front roll with a tail…
Nose Grab Down Loop Transition
This one’s a veritable beauty! A well-executed, high, tweaked nose grab is a relatively simple move, yet one which deserves its place as an honorable don of style. Adding a down-loop and converting this into a transition is win-win all the way. Although this is a transition, you’re best to think of it as a jump. You’re looking to get…

It’s…

North Kiteboarding Navigator
The Bar We were incredibly impressed to see North Kiteboarding had brought their kite bar to the table. Kite bars are incredibly expensive to produce and have to perform in such a vast range of conditions it would have been easy for the brand to go the OEM route. Hugh Pinfold was tasked with coming up with a new control…
Cabrinha Hi:Rise Varial Medium
Another new wing in the Cabrinha line up this year is the Varial range, available in small, medium and large, these wings are crossovers.

Cabrinha Ace Hybrid
Cabrinha’s extensive twin tip lineup has an option for every rider no matter their style or favoured discipline. The Ace Hybrid sits at the slightly more freeride side of freestyle, and Cabrinha describes it is as being “Designed for freeride creatives looking to bend the rules of gravity” leading us to believe this will be a board suiting a high…
