The best trips are often those that are unplanned. Brandon Scheid tags along on a girl’s weekend and scores the snowkiting dump of the decade.

With the pandemic wreaking havoc on South African beach access, Duotone’s Aaron Hadlow and Ralf Grösel abandon their product testing plans in Cape Town and escape to the least populated country in Africa.

Since Tim Walsh’s earliest days, his dad Des has been grooming him for a satisfying life of windsports. Having followed in his father’s footsteps into kiteboarding, Tim is a careful study of powered freestyle and his father’s product testing work.

From composite bike parts to homemade kiteboards, Jan Termöhlen’s engineering work catches the eye of Core Kiteboarding and leads him on the quest to build the ultimate foil platform for some of the most technical and meticulous customers around.

Photographer and Marketing Manager James Boulding descends on Fuerteventura with the European Cabrinha team to capture the 01 collection in the hands of Cabrinha’s key athletes.

With a nod to prohibition era history, Chris Bobryk escapes the onerous restrictions of Miami’s kiteboarding beaches and finds refuge in a shallow sandbar a mile offshore.
