Kitesports 'GUARANTEED BUY-BACK' Program:
With so many people visiting SA, and especially Cape Town for the solid SE winds it gets through Summer, we have been doing some research and found that many people complain about how expensive the excess luggage cost is just to get to SA and back with all their kit.
We have worked on a solution for anyone traveling to SA; all you need to bring is your wetsuit and harness.
Please forward this onto anyone you know who is traveling from abroad.

Stemming from the existing HADLOW PRO, the Hadlow ID adds to the HADLOW collection a kite firmly in the reach of all aspiring kiters. With increased de-power, easy re-launch and phenomenal performance in freestyle, free riding and wave riding, the ID is an expansion on the HADLOW collection that gives you the tools to grow and be a part of the HADLOW movement from intermediate to pro riders alike.

The Ultimate Wave Kite from MUTINY?
The guys at Mutiny have been working hard at creating the ultimate wave kite, we have been privileged to get all the low-down on the development on this kite and what it's about. With the global movement towards wave riding, Mutiny have decided to work on a kite model that will suit all types of riders and is 100% focused to be a wave riding kite.
So you can improve your wave riding and get everything you need out of the kite to get as close to true surfing as possible.
Make sure to give one of these babies a test fly when the first world-wide stocks arrive in SA around mid-November.
Keep your eyes on the website for more info on the new Mutiny Wave Kite coming very soon.

Kitesports now has "GROUPS":
We have introduced a great new platform within the KITESPORTS website. The GROUP platform has been designed for individual areas around SA; that way you can post area-specific comments, share photos, and a whole lot more within your group and all group members will be notified of that content.
This is a great way to keep in the loop with what is happening in you area, such as a downwind for the day, guys going kiting at certain spots, trips away, etc.
Please feel free to let us know if you would like a GROUP for your area; currently we have Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town.
Please note that to be part of a GROUP you have to be a member on the KITESPORTS website.
