ISSUE #48



The Kiteworld team are usually very proud of the standard of photography that they feature in the magazine. Always working hard to present the sport's top photographers in the best format possible, issue #48 is really special in terms of optical delights.

Reo Stevens, John Amundson and photographer Stephan Fournet discovered a cracking spot in the Indian Ocean and returned with some spell binding shots. Globe trotting freerider and ex-World Cup rider Gabi Steindl loves nothing more than finding insane kiteboarding in the most remote places. Her report from Papua New Guinea will inspire, while the shots from Jason Pini will send a shot down your spine. On top of all that galleries from Ozone's Australia shoot will make you dream of going and Kiteworld also catch up with Aaron Hadlow to see what he's been up to and what's new with the Hadlow Pro brand.

The test team have also managed to get their mucky testing mitts on some more brand new 2011 gear. This issue they feature North's consistent performers, the Rebel and Vegas kites, Naish's Bolt and the infamous Torch. The team also reveal more surfboard offerings from all brands in their annual surfboard guide.

As well as keeping you abreast with all the most important tour updates and conclusions, world news, views, comment and gossip, Ian Alldredge spills the secrets on one of the most incredible back hand top turns and Tom Courts gets you used to your first sessions at attempting to ride unhooked.

All that plus much more shmutter than we have space for here!
