KiteGirl, the point is not to leave the water polluted and live happy with it. The point is that on our lake there are few spots and, as Fland wrote, the local authorities in case of serious pollution have one choice only: to close the spot. Then, the Mayor of the city has to find a lot of money to ...

I'm italian, I've been four times in Maui but I don't know your local regulations. Here in Italy, raising a stink about water quality would be a very very risky move. Normally, if you (being perfectly right!) act this way, the local authorities reaction is " from now, the beach is closed to swimming...

Thanks a lot!

Hi guys, there’s a friend of mine heading to Nassau Jan 3rd. He would like to have some infos about spots/conditions/rentals and so on.

Thank you!

Nice video, but the real world is often very different. Self launching and landing on a huge totally uncrowded beach in light to moderate wind is quite "easy". Things are different when you have to launch and land in a narrow place with obstacles and people (but no kiters) around…

Good to hear you're ok. I think that a dangerous day always comes, it's not a matter of being expert or not. Sometimes all the negative variables go to the same direction and it's the perfect storm. It's quite "easy" once (and if) you're back home to find the mistakes you made, the truth is probably...

My hope is that kiteboarding will not follow the path of windsurfing. In late 90ties, the common feeling about ws was a super bright future and an endless development. The real story was very different. Real innovation nearly stopped, every year the marketing department was sweating to find the way ...

Thank you Bruno. I think that at the moment hundreds of questions and list of pros and cons can appear but the great news are that we are in front of the first real innovation in many years. This is really a new concept, not the usual commercial "game changer" that means a bar with new colors or a 1...

This is a Darwin Award, Italy is currently being devastated by storms, schools are closed, a port has been devastated, trees are falling, flooding a everywhere. You just don’t go out in these conditions. I agree and I don't agree. I agree here in my office with the sad news in my mind and the reaso...

Exactly Sarc. It seems once he was in the water eh understood he was overpowered and he tried to reach the shore but he was lofted.
Very sad.
