What is Kiteboarding?

There is a sport that is like surfing, wakeboarding, and flying all at once.  If you’ve ever been to Pismo Beach on a windy day, you will see over two dozen kiteboarders in the water or doing tricks high above it.  Most of these riders are ordinary people that are simply addicted to this amazing extreme sport called kiteboarding.

Kiteboarding uses the wind to combine the aspects of surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and windsurfing into one extreme ocean sport.  The kite, anywhere from 6-20 square meters, powers the rider through the water.  The kite will have either 4 or 5 lines up to 27 meters long that connect to a control bar, which the rider pushes and pulls to control the kite in any direction.  The bar hooks into the rider’s harness, which is most often worn around the waist. A board similar to a wakeboard or surfboard enables the rider to fly over the water. Check out our kites, boards, and harnesses here

We carry Naish, DaKine, Slingshot, Neil Pryde, Caution, NPX, Starboard, Creatures of Leasure, Ocean and Earth, Werner, Garmin, AzHiAzIaM, MBS, and much more.

Big Waves from a South Swell Hit California - Saturday, July 25, 2009 11:00 AM

July 24th, 25th and 26th 2009 was an epic weekend to remember for surfers, bodysufers, bodyboarders, kitesurfers, and stand up paddleboarders. When the Southern Hemispher is having their Winter Storms it creates deep ocean swell travelling in a Northerly direction. When these South Swells hit California Coastlines the waves created are "All Time".

Our amazing day began with a Central Coast Standup Paddleboarding Session:

Meanwhile... Mike Jones from AzHiAzIaM travelled to Newport Beach's The Wedge to see some insane South Swell Waves jack up to 20ft in 3 feet of water. Insane huh?
