Litewave Wing 165. Best advice I've ever had on gear. Couldn't kiteboard here enjoyably without it. It shoots upwind. Will cruise in wind so light you nearly gotta loop a 15m kite to start, yet if I loop my 10m foil kite I can ride almost the same low-end wind. Shreds in flukey turbulence by easily ...

Hi Martin, This is a great question. I fly Peak4's on the snow in really erratic wind conditions. On my 8m Peak4, I've been flying it with extended throw on the powerline (without a trimmer). I have long arms and can push the bar away from me and lose nearly all of the power in the kite. For mountai...

No doubt! South Padre is the best kiting in CO right now

Avg from Breck town wx station. A bit less on the N end but the number is so big it reads better in FEET

Been seeing lots of misinformation out there about kiting in CO over the past few weeks. Folks are coming to this thread from FB and are mining it for frange info but are only seeing west slope stuff because the thread was started a long way from the suburbs. If you need great park-n-ride snowkiting...

A dozen kiters from the Front Range, Western Slope and Summit County have been in touch this week, and we're all seeing non-legal locations being promoted by bombastic influencers on facebook. Pioneering kiters have been snowkiting in CO since the late 90s, back in the wipka days. Full feature-lengt...

Those are great pictures. Tons of great National Forest Service lands to enjoy there. You're a lucky man to have the mesa close by.

Holy cow, what a thing to go through. I read a couple papers that the powder blast of a dry avalanche knocks over trees and it's at least thought that the wind generated travels at the same speed as the moving snow, which can be really fast. The footage indicates a kite won't help you ride it out be...

Dillon is the first place to go and it will save the park-n-ride kiter a lot of confusion. More than likely you'll meet other snowkiters there. Concerning other locations, the attached reference sheet has some helpful information on limitations and issues that kiters have experienced. Access at lake...

If a sensitive spot gets noticed by Google searches, then you can bet that your awesome days at that spot may never happen again. We can share awesome days online without naming the spot. People crave unknown spots because of "fear of missing out" on some private secret knowledge- it's a weird human...

The reality is that maybe the internet isn't the right tool to share locations. Land is managed by numerous agencies and regulations are not the same even if there is public access. If you post a sensitive location, perhaps all the hard work that the locals have been doing will go down the drain. Wh...
