Riding Upwind

Coming Soon! I know, what a burn. This section of the page is in progress, and should be uploaded soon. Please stay tuned!

Apparent Wind & Why You Should Care

Coming Soon! I know, what a burn. This section of the page is in progress, and should be uploaded soon. Please stay tuned!

Self Launching

Being able to launch your kite alone gives you a major taste of freedom. In the right conditions, you will no longer be dependent on a helper in order to kiteboard (and I'm sure your girlfriend will be thankful!).

Read the self launching overview right here.

Self Landing

***Coming soon!

There's no point launching your kite alone if you're not going to be able to land it. Being able to self-land keeps you from having to trigger your safety release (to land) and saves your kite any unnecessary wear and tear.
