| Kiteboarding gear has never been better, and the challenges facing buyers are bigger than ever. SBC Kiteboard’s Buyers’ Guide features tips on finding the right gear for your style of riding. Our first-ever Head-to-Head Mega Test takes an in-depth look at today’s modern kites. Seven new hybrid kite designs and nine modern Cs were flown for three weeks in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The SBC Kiteboard test team discovered some big differences. If you are spending your hard earned money on kites this year, you will want to read these reviews first. The perfect kite is waiting for you. Kite looping is one of the most unique aspects of kiteboarding. For any aspiring pro the Kite Loop is the basis for a variety of new-school manoeuvres, while for the more laid-back the Loop is a trick in its own right. Two-time world champion Mark Shinn takes a detailed look at two variations of the Kite Loop: the hooked-in Back Roll with Kite Loop and the hooked-in Back Roll with Down Loop. His instructional is sure to have riders everywhere sticking them like never before. |
| Also on the instructional front, pro rider Mark Doyle is mad about pop. This issue he takes a step-by-step look at the Air Raley, Back Roll, and Back Roll to Blind. Space monkey Will James introduces us to jibing while riding a surfboard. With more and more riders switching to hybrid-style bow, SLE and flat kites, safety editor Rick Iossi investigates the issues unique to this style of kite. Messing with your bladder is no fun. But then again, missing a session because your kite won’t hold air is no fun either. In this issue, Airtime owner Casey Houtz makes bladder swapping easy. SBC Kiteboard is increasing its grassroots presence. With the sport continuing to grow, SBC is expanding its regional coverage to reflect the many local scenes. Our team of regional reporters shines a spotlight on Ontario, Utah, Florida, South Padre Island, Cape Cod, Oahu, Maui, Puerto Rico, Cabarete, Ventura and Santa Barbara, and the Gorge. http://www.sbckiteboard.com |
