It’s been a pretty wild month for our sport. The Big Air season kicked off in style at Le Barcarès for the Lords of Tram, and we’ve got a full breakdown of the action in this issue.
What started as a throwaway idea in a meeting has turned into one of the most ambitious grassroots projects in kiteboarding. The Ozone Demo Tour is bringing gear, riders and community together across the globe, and at the centre of it all is Santi Cisneros, chasing wind, sharing stoke, and quietly building his own path in big air.
Progression in Big Air is all about finding the balance between performance and confidence. The Lieuwe Shotgun Air is designed to bridge that gap, offering riders a faster, more responsive ride while maintaining the comfort needed to keep pushing forward. Built to help you go bigger without feeling overpowered, it takes a familiar platform and refines it for the next step in your riding.
Kiteboarding has never been just one thing. Yet right now, it feels like we are in danger of forgetting that. In chasing progression, numbers and extremes, the sport has narrowed its focus, even though its greatest strength has always been versatility. This is a reminder of where kiteboarding came from, where it has been, and why its future depends on embracing everything it allows us to do on the water.

Not many riders know the art of snowkiting in the mountains like Johann Civel. For more than two decades, he and the Ride Up crew have chased wind and snow across peaks from the Lautaret Pass to Alaska and beyond. We caught up with Johann to hear how it all began, what drives his passion for kiting up and skiing down, and the lessons he’s learned in the high mountains.
For Issue 113 of IKSURFMAG, the team put the latest ION Amaze CORE 4/3 Front Zip womens wetsuit and the men's Seek CORE 4/3 Front Zip, Ozone’s latest Edge VT and Ozone Edge VT Ultra X, The Line Smith SK99 premium lines and Duotone’s Blur DLAB to the test during the UK spring sessions.
