You're right, and doctors have to be on call too many weekends.. Luckily in summertime we have long evenings here in the northern hemisphere so in the next months we'll be able to hit the water after work. But winters are (too) long. Ironically the medical culture prohibits a healthy and active life...

Sounds like a great excuse to go kiting while on a work trip! 🙂. Just kidding. 😉 Well you're not completely wrong 🤗 But in reality many kiting doctors have working hours that are difficult to reunite with an active kiteboarding life. Especially if you live in a place with unpredictable wind. Our co...

Just a quick heads up! We've had a fantastic conference that took place in Kenya. One of the highlights was a visit to a local hospital in Kilifi where we donated a substantial sum to their fantastic care programme for the elderly. We also visited remote kite spots and donated school uniforms and ot...

Curacao?

No but Bonaire ticks the boxes. You just need to rent a car to get to the (only) spot on the island. Good diving and nightlife and February has good winds.

If possible try the Ocean Rodeo flite HL 14,5 or 17m. I have the 14,5 and it's amazing. I have several other Aluula kites as well but the HL is hardly less performing but a lot cheaper. And it still weighs as much as a 1 strut kite, the difference with full aluula is quite small. At my weight (78kg)...

Another option is the nobile pocket skim foil, although on their site it's out of stock atm. https://shop.nobilesports.com/nobile-kiteboard-pocket-skim-foil-2024 You get straps and a bag with it and if you mail with them you can ask for a better price. I really enjoy the board because it has a sligh...

We've been really busy organizing a brilliant event in Cape Town in jan/Feb of 2024. More info here viewtopic.php?t=2416603&p=1203519

Thanks for sharing this with the kiteboarding doctors in your network!

I'm seeking help from the SAB foil experts because I want to order a new set after my Aurush freeride foil died on me (it was the 850cm2 monocoque which has formed cracks, not a 'durable' design). So I'm switching brands and SAB has good options and good resale value where I live. My friends have th...

Then you might want to get in contact with this guys: https://surfmedizin.org/ It is an association of German doctors and therapists with a focus on surfing in general. They also had a stand at BOOT 2023 Thanks for the tip! It's great to see these initiatives. We've had some very skilled orthopedic...

Hi fellow kiting MDs! We are a group of doctors who share a passion for kiteboarding. Back in 2021, we initiated a series of CME accredited conferences specifically tailored for doctors who are already avid kiters or those who are interested in learning this exhilarating sport. These conferences are...
