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.
 

A Perfect Day in Chile

SUP News

Punta de Lobos, Chile 

Naish Team rider, Arnaud Frennet, shares his
new definition of the perfect day: 
 
What a Sunday! It started at dawn with a SUP surf session in perfect glassy waves. Very long lefts rolling in front of an impressive cliff in the middle of nowhere, and only 6 people in the water – all good friends of mine, some I had not seen for years. What a celebration for meeting again!
 
I scored loads of waves, not sure how many, but each one seemed even more perfect than the previous…a truly memorable session. Where is that spot? Very simple, we call it “Secreto”…you see what I mean?
But to be honest, it was not even the best part of the day. The afternoon session, in 30 cm waves, was even better! That session I’ll never forget for the simple reason that it was the first SUP surf session for my daughters Lanais and Danahe. Both had been practicing stand up paddling for a while in flat water, but they had never paddled out into the ocean on their own (in Chile the ocean is not very welcoming to kids!).
I was ecstatic therefore when the youngest, 8 year old Danahe, asked me to go SUPing in the waves with her. Lanais, 10 years old, could not resist very long after seeing her sister in the sea and came to join us also. We had a fantastic hour riding “micro-waves” together. It was almost unreal, even more so when a baby seal came to watch us enjoying his beach.
