Kiteworld #27 out now
Tuesday, May 15, 2007
A SERIES OF BRIEF TASTERS OF WHAT'S COMING UP IN KITEWORLD 27 OUT NOW…
“When testing boards I like to give riders of different abilities different boards without letting them know the performance characteristics expected from them. Interestingly, most of the time a rider will perform better on a board with less, but easy to access, performance, which leads me to my conclusion about ease of use outweighing performance in terms of importance.”MARK SHINN: MARK MY WORDS
“We did an article on him eight years before he ran for president. We hit it off instantly. However, within a few minutes of meeting at his holiday house in Nantucket the wind started to blow. We looked at each other and knew we were going to blow off the interview. Exactly the same happened the following day…Finally, I flew to Washington DC and we hid ourselves in the basement of the Senate Building and got the interview on tape.”WINDWING PRESIDENT, JOHN CHAO: HARD WORK
“You see, Felix Pivec is on a mission: not just to be the best, but to change what and how you ride; to improve the level of the average rider by providing a simple, clear example of what works and to back it up by being the best guy in the water, day in and day out. He has an almost religious faith in his equipment and technique as the future of wave riding with kites. The funny thing is that he just might be right.”JEFF PFEFFER: IN TRIM – A FELIX PIVEC PROFILE
“When you drive across the border, you hit Tijuana, and everything changes. We were in my truck but were pulling a wave runner and all kinds of other gear. It's always a little sketchy; you just want to be really careful. A lot of the road signs are unreliable – it’s hard even if you know where you’re going. You have to just keep moving, it's that kind of a white-knuckle experience.”PETER TROW: BETTER DAYS IN THE DIRTY SOUTH
“You should be riding with you bar out in front of you in the direction of travel. This will automatically help your body position and to lean correctly against the kite. If you use it for support, you’ll pull yourself up underneath the bar, and slide out onto your backside.”ADAM VON INS: ALL THE GEAR, NO IDEA?
“Perry glanced skyward in time to duck. The lines snagged in between the sandbags then looped again just as Perry did his best tuck ‘n’ roll, snatching a line then pouncing onto the canopy. The pilot (still on the other side of the sandbags) had no idea Perry was starfished on his kite. He was busy trying to fend off the sandbag that was pressing against his cheek whilst also tugging on a back line trying to figure out why his Crossbow hadn’t reappeared.”CHERYL HARRISON: CHERYL MEETS…THE NEXT GENERATION
“As I come through the bottom turn and up the wave, I start to move all the pressure to my back foot, but still maintain speed and continue looking over my shoulder throughout the turn. It's a really pivoting movement and you can see in shots two and three of the helicopter sequence just how much pressure I have to put on my back foot to get it round nice and tightly. You can do anything with speed and it’s absolutely essential here.”BEN WILSON: TURN AND FACE
“As a kite it definitely puts a smile on your face. You come in happy. The young lad that worked at the centre went out on it and was like, 'Wow.'”CHRIS BULL: SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION KITE TEST

We're overdosing on the three big 'T's this issue: Technique, Travel and Testing. You'll find all of them in abundance in Kiteworld issue 26.

Issue 26 sees Kiteworld test editor and long-time wave warrior, Neal Gent, tackle the intricacies of linking together mesmerising bottom turn to top turn combos, analysing sequences of two of the best wave riders in the sport right now, both unhooked and strapless and hooked-in on a hybrid kite.
The Monster Buyer's Guide takes up a large chunk of the magazine's contents this issue, bringing you the findings from ten solid days testing in Tenerife. We rattle through 11 twin-tips, nine bow and hybrid kites and five super-charged C kites.
And as if that wasn't enough, The Kiteworld Guide to: Holidays that comes free with issue 26 takes you on a tour of some of the best kiteboarding destinations you could visit around the world this summer.

You could surf the internet for hours, but we have all the information you need in one handy guide. If you can't find somewhere that fits exactly your riding, family, budgetary or nightlife-craving requirements, then we will eat our shorts.

Kiteworld 23 Out Now
August hit and suddenly the conditions we’ve been tearing our hair out for started rolling in. No doubt, September even more so marks the changing of the weather guard and brings with it a sense of optimism and excitement for the next few months.
We mark this change in mood and temperature with stories from the extremes to whet your appetite for all the riding opportunities coming up. Sticking initially with the warm thoughts, issue 23 sees our build up to the ever more popular season in South Africa that begins in November. Riders from all around Europe take advantage of a commanding exchange rate and head south to dine on the pleasure served up by the majestic beaches, punchy, menacing winds and magnificent waves found around its picturesque shores. We experience two very different cities in a two part feature on the most wind-swept and hazardous stretches of coastline in the world, and reveal the spots to look out for in a wind-charged country that provided 40 consecutive windy days earlier this year.
Iceland may not be the first place you think of when booking your summer holiday, but if you’re in the mood for a very different experience that’s only a short plane ride away, or are just in need of a snowkite fix, we have just the ticket.
And in terms of wild travel and experiences, we couldn’t very well look past Scotland. However, this time, getting the experience were a couple of French blokes who gave us their take on our northerly neighbour as they stoked the auld alliance.
Also this issue, we take a look at some of the shapes and trends apparent in the new kit that will be lining your local shop’s shelves in 2007, and we continue in our quest to get you tooled up in terms of your riding skills with more in depth technique articles.
All this, and of course much, much more.

New Issue of Kiteworld Magazine
Friday, July 07, 2006ISSUE #22 OUT NOW!
If you're a subscriber it will drop onto your door mat very soon. If you're not a subscriber then get yourself down to your local shop or subscribe here on the website.
In kiteboarding, equipment is all important. There are more variables and bits and pieces to match up than for other freeride sports like surfing, skating or snowboarding. Finding the perfect set-up that works for you can elevate your riding to levels you only dreamed of. As for the wrong choices... well, let's not even go down that ugly road. In Feel The Love we interview three people whose recent lives have been dedicated to kiteboarding design excellence. Have you ever felt the redirection of energy as you come out of a turn faster than you went into it on one of Simon Harvey's carbon fibre boards; the smooth flowing lines and contours of Bob Yates's hand-made fins; or the sublime handling of David Pilkington's new flat kite? We take you behind the scenes and find out what goes into their designs, and what we should be looking to get out of our own kit.
Hopefully you've managed plenty of well-earned time on the water this summer and are starting to get to grips with whatever you have on your menu of accomplishments. Issue 22 has technique features for every level.
The IKO continue their beginner and intermediate series; this issue dishing out the secrets of re-launching a bow kite and good self-rescue technique. Motor Drive has morphed into a bigger, bolder and more focussed feature than ever before - over ten pages we introduce the hop to blind and then take you through the next manageable and logical steps that should see you through to landing the style-heavy front to blind in no time. We have dealt with all the stages for land and water riders alike. Don't miss it.
We also got our hands on the ultimate in summer fun; a skimboard. In just ten knots of wind we couldn't wipe the grins off our faces. We roped Mark Shinn in to demonstrate some key moves on Nobile's latest creation.
If boards a little longer in shape with a pointy nose and three thruster fins at the back are more your cup of tea, then Jeff Pfeffer will guide you through four top surfing moves to be executed at various points of the wave to make sure you're keeping everything tidy and looking good. Off-the-lips, snaps, cutbacks and handle-passes off-the-lip are spread out and broken down for your pleasure.
All this and much, much more, including reviews of the North Vegas, Flexifoil Ion and Ozone Instinct.
Under the influence of kiteboarding's leading photographers, the inkjets have been whacked full of the printer's finest, and imagery you'll find hard to believe awaits your poppy-out eyes.

Hypelinks and Videos in the PDF of "The Kiteboarder"
Thursday, May 18, 2006May 18, 2006 -- The Kiteboarder, the world’s first and only online kiteboarding magazine, just stepped up their game. Effective with the May/June06 Issue, The Kiteboarder’s electronic PDF version of the printed publication now features hyperlinks and video making it easier than ever for users to quickly find information. The electronic magazine can be viewed at http://www.thekiteboarder.com.
Editor Ryan Riccitelli said, “The Ring Media, the parent company to The Kiteboarder Magazine and ASNEWS.net, has been leading the charge in the action sports electronic news and marketing arena. While people still love to touch and feel the real magazine, electronic publishing is the future because of its global reach, immediacy, flexibility, and convenience. Many of the advertisers who have supported us from day one are now reaping the benefits of our electronic network.” He added, “Jim Semlor, our Art Director, spent countless hours working out the technology to keep the resolution integrity of our e-magazine and the file size small so that the PDF is still easily downloadable and readable. We are really excited about our new format – it is only the beginning of what is yet to come!”
Publisher Marina Chang is equally enthusiastic about The Kiteboarder’s latest innovation. “We are constantly looking for new ways to push news and information about kiteboarding to as many eyeballs as possible. We have grown in a short time to become the leading publication in our sport because of our original content, superior photography, targeted distribution and international affiliate network. With the simple click of a button, our new format will allow our electronic readers to instantly get more information or view video about riding spots, accommodations, trips, promotions, events, schools, shops, products and accessories as they read it. Viewers and advertisers alike will find the PDF mutually beneficial.”
