Possibly Stino’s sickest contraloop yet? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
Issue 111
Should we be worried about the growth of wing foiling? Are lots of kiters making the switch? Is it going to take over kitesurfing? In this feature, Rou Chater dives into decades of water time to ask: Is kitesurfing being replaced, or is this just the latest wave in our sport’s evolution? Let’s find out!
Issue 111
For many riders, a trip to Brazil is an annual ritual, a pilgrimage to consistent wind, buttery lagoons, and good vibes. But for Alby Rondina and Alvaro Onieva, this year’s journey was more than just another kite trip; it marked a full-circle moment. In this feature, Jen Tyler catches up with both of them in Back to Brazil: 20 Years Later!
Issue 111
Christian & Karine are back with a strapless treat to kick things off! Start your session with a cheeky beach start; no more soggy derrieres, just hop and go! Then it’s back to the school of Back Rolls, adding a tail grab and a dash of English mustard for extra style. Good luck!
Issue 110
Chill out and go kitesurfing! In Issue 110, Rou Chater looks back on how kiteboarding has shaped his life—and how it continues to unite us in uncertain times. As the sport faces new challenges like trade wars and rising costs, Rou shares a powerful reminder: In a world that feels more divided than ever, the kiteboarding community is still driven by passion, connection, and the simple joy of getting out on the water.
Issue 110
Stijn Mul and Michiel Schipper traded their board shorts for snow pants and took their kitesurfing skills to the mountains. Find out about their latest SpaceX Kitesurfing adventure in the Col du Lautaret in the latest issue of IKSURFMAG!
Issue 110
The Lords of Tram 2025 in Le Barcarès was pure chaos—in the best way. With 60-knot gusts - this was Big Air at its most extreme. Andrea Principi stole the show (and the event title), while Lorenzo Casati locked in his World Champion crown. On the women’s side, Mikaili Sol made a legendary comeback, claiming both the event win and her eighth world title. From wipeouts to world champs, this year’s Lords of Tram was one for the books. Read all about it here!
Issue 110
There is something profoundly satisfying in kicking buckets of spray, regardless of sports. Whether it be fanning deep powder on a mountain, annihilating the lip of a wave, chucking dirt on a bike or walling a slalom ski around a buoy, the inner kid in all of us can’t resist it and the ensuing look back to check, regardless of how mind-blowingly awesome it felt. Pushing against water, generating your prism, bending light, making rainbows, or simply soaking someone on the beach – the fun is ours. Who doesn’t get excited at the thought?
Issue 109
For the first time in 17 years, Rou Chater has written this editorial without a single kite session between issues. With hit-or-miss winds worldwide, the wait has been real. But as spring approaches, we need the wind more than ever—let’s hope it delivers!
Issue 109
In January 2025, Cape Town hosted the GKA Big Air Challenge, a kiteboarding event created in collaboration with WOO Sports. The competition brought together amateurs and professionals to record their highest jumps across the Western Cape, combining individual efforts into team scores for a brand showdown. Jen Tyler catches up with Liam Dredge to discuss the inspiration, challenges, and standout moments that made this new format such a success!
Issue 109
For Hendrick Lopes, Cape Verde is more than a kitesurfing paradise—it’s home. This season brought unexpected calm, offering time to reconnect with family, train his surf-loving dog Nalu, and inspire local kids to dream big. But when the waves returned, so did the action, transforming quiet days into unforgettable sessions - we’ve got it all, exclusively in IKSURFMAG!
Issue 109
Whether soaking up the southern summer or braving the northern winter, C&K has two low-altitude tricks to keep riders stoked. First up, a toe-side twist on the twin tip duck tack, turning a smooth carve into an upwind challenge that’s sure to impress. Next, some old-school hooked-in fun with the hooked back to blind, a trick that will have riders hunting for flat water just to show it off. Two must-learn moves—ready to step up your game?
Issue 108
In this issue, our winner will receive a choice of colour and size for a hoody and T-shirt from our store! Made from organic cotton and featuring our iconic logo, be the envy of your mates on the beach!!
