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.

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!

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!

Welcome back to the technique section! This issue, we’re focusing on the toe-side landing, which is essential for a controlled take-off and rotation. Practice this move, and we’ll build on it soon! Next up, with April showers in mind, let’s have some fun throwing water during a toe-to-toe carve. Who doesn’t love a little spray? Let’s see those skills in action!
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!

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!

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!

James Boulding and the Cabrinha team take a different approach to the annual photoshoot. Kitesurfing is about diversity; it always has been. Regardless of the current love-in with Big Air, the sport encompasses so much more. From foiling to wave riding and everything in between, it’s not always about the biggest jump of your life or the most remote location where you can take a photo that’s never been seen before. Sometimes, it’s about getting back to the sports roots. Sharing memories with great friends and well-trodden spots that still deliver the goods.

With its stunning coastlines, steady winds, and rich cultural history, Oman really is the perfect mix of adventure and tradition. In this feature, filmmaker and photographer Nikola Bagarov dives into his project with Majan Ospreys to show us what makes Oman so special.

Issue 108
With the holidays just around the corner, C&K suggest squeezing in one last cheeky session before the year’s out. Whether it’s a quick coastal strike mission or a well-earned trip overseas, they’re wrapping up 2024 with two festive moves to try: tweak your pop to toeside for extra sparkle or tackle the twin tip upwind 360 – the ultimate stocking filler!
