After a few days of snowkiting on my old Burton Seven I decided that I want a new board for snowkiting. I felt that the board was too soft for snowkiting also the tail on turns was all over.
So I ordered an 157 board for me.
The board out of the box […]

I had a chance to ride a 10 m for 2 days in Islamorada.
And here is my feedback:
Out of the bag the kite looks great, high quality work on the product and cool graphics.
I didn’t play with any settings on the bar. Just inflate (one pump works great), connect the bar […]

As I sit down to reflect and pen a few thoughts on the 1 year anniversary of my first kiteboarding lessons, I feel pretty damn thankful for this awesome community of kiteboarders I’ve become acquainted with. You’ve all provided me with a ton of help and advice as […]
You’re one of the DC area first kiteboarders, aren’t you?
Dave Loop is the father of Mid-Atlantic kiting. But I may have been the next guy in DC to own a kiteboard. I remember buying one of Dave’s used boards at the spring East of Maui swap meet in Annapolis 2000 and everyone that saw me […]
F-One team rider Brian Friedmann reviews the new Bamboo Surfboards
These boards are extremely well constructed and have a very solid feel in the windy choppy conditions of kiting. I’ve been riding the 5′6″ Signature strapped and the 6′ Surf strapless and they both handle really nice.
The 5″6″ is exceptionally responsive to whatever direction you want […]
