JOIN US IN LA VENTANA FOR LIGHT WIND TESTING!

Light wind gear continues to evolve and the new model year gear for 2015 is better than ever.  Join the TKB crew from March 28 – April 5, 2015 as we demo the new Light Wind 2015 gear in Baja! Which kites turn like a 12m? What brand offers the most fun in light wind? Which kite and board gets you riding the soonest? What kite has the best low end grunt and wind range?

Want to review gear and help other riders around the world when it comes time for them to choose new gear? Looking for new light wind gear at demo pricing? We’ve got you covered.
