Tkb’s Spring 2018 issue hits the presses with a heaping serving of classic kite stories that will put you one step closer to knowing everything one needs to know about the legendary people and places of kiteboarding;
In this issue we interview GKA judge Mallory de la Villemarque about the current state of the Kite-Surf World Tour, tail Sensi Graves on a travel junket to the unknown kiteboarding paradise of Bermuda and follow Jesse Richman, Ewan Jaspan and Paula Rosales as they share the importance of environmental stewardship with the children of Palaui Island. Photographer Justin Bruns tells the tale of traveling to with Damien Leroy, Mark Miedema and Evan Netsch for a kite festival that challenges the strict codes of Saudi culture. We take a tour down under with Colleen Carroll, Craig Cunningham and Noe Font as they road trip down the East Coast of Australian on their Bubble Film tour and we print the pixels of a Great Lakes bird photographer with an infatuation with shooting kiteboarding who has been documenting the burgeoning kitesurfing scene for years.
