Everyone here at The Kiteboarder Magazine love to get out and ride and we get just as excited as you do when the new products come out.

All our boards are handmade here in the Outer Banks. We use traditional construction along with reinforcements in key areas. All my boards are designed, shaped, and glassed entirely in-house. Most brands don’t offer that.
