So pray tell where the best spots are in RB?   I am up there this weekend and it looks like the winds are going to be around so I may as well spend some time getting wet.   Please give me some hints.

I've been thinking again and it's never a good thing as it always seems to land me in some kind of craziness, it seems that's my style.  So here I go on another plot.  

My ponderings have led me to make a decision to withdraw myself from a deep involvement in the paddling circles.  I will always paddle…

These instructionals are aimed at promoting the "pop" culture as opposes to the "sent" culture of freestyle kite boarding.  If none of that made sense to you, keep reading.

Hey Homies,

A few surfing buds and I want to do a "surgical" strike in ponta over the weekend of the 1st june - does anyone have the contact number of good (read: reasonably priced, without bed bugs) accomodation near the point?

I just got this email, well done to kiteboarding, sad to see windsurfing getting the boot though, but I had to laugh at this part,

".......The National Sailing Associations will now include kiteboarding into their programs and coach and support the riders to go to the Olympic Qualification events..........."  

It will be interesting to see what magic carrots our invisible "National Association" pulls out of their…

If you asked me where I was from I would tell you Margate just because most people know it.  Margate however back in my day and in my circles was not a place you’d go bragging about.  It added certain connotations to your existence, but luckily I’m not from there.  I am from a small town called Uvongo somewhere between Margate and St. Michaels.  It’s also here that I learnt to surf properly.  Uvongo is what I call my hometown and to some degree will always be where my heart is.  Not…

 What happens in winter?

While waiting for the wind on Sunday I got talking to one of the new kids on the block.  He asked what happens to the wind now going into winter. 

My reply was basically this:  A cold front is a cold front is a cold front irrespective of the season.   In fact a winter SW is the better one, it's more solid and brings with it a deep ground swell, whoohoo. …

I have been riding the Ozone Reo 4,6,8,10 and 12m in different conditions in Cape Town this entire season in a wide variety of conditions. For me personally this is the best waveriding kite I have ever flown.

Coming from other kites you might have to get used a bit to the kite in a way that …

As some of you know, one of the Life Guard towers recently washed into the sea. Unfortunately the council has not done anything to remove the structure from the water and has now posed to be a threat to guys surfing and kitesurfing in Umdloti.

Thanks to Rich and Jason for…

Check out the beach this week, freezing!!! 

Contact with the water may pose a risk to people because of the high bacterial loads, the city said in a statement released last night.

"The high levels of rainfall have lead…

Hi,

Has anyone by any chance picked up a bar and lines for Liquid Force kite on Nature's Valley beach? It was left there on Sunday 8th jan 2012.

Thanks Cameron

This is what happens when you "mow the lawn" too much!

What a great day! It all started with the guys meeting up at KITESPORTS Eden on the Bay with a morning coffee. One last check on the location, and everyone was excited to head out and kite at a new wave spot.…
