We do kitesurf all year round over here. Drysuit season is coming up in a few days (or 6/5/4 wet). Yes, there are good spots near Reykjavík. The closest one is Seltjarnarnes (5-10 min. drive from downtown). https://www.google.is/maps/place/Seltjarnarnes/@64.1551455,-22.0066482,3790m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b...

Hi guys. One of the locals answering here located in the Reykjavik area. Been snowkiting/kitesurfing around here for the last 10 years. There aren't many of us here maybe a group of 5-8 active kiters. Every year is different now maybe thanks to global warming, but to be sure don't come until January...

Regarding windsurfers vs. kiteboarders issue in our friendly local community we are strangely outnumbered by windsurfing guys (10 guys vs. 5 kiters at best). I used to belong to the dark side so in my mind basic sailing rules apply. The less maneuverable vessel has right of way. Makes sense I think ...

Good job Melissa (cool tats) and bad luck Bille. I seem to recall this happening to you before, am I right? I myself am an below elbow amputee and this might sound as as shameless plugging but you should check out Ossur Prosthetics http://www.ossur.com/?PageID=12705 . What they have is this silicone...

Regarding launch/land and ride switch idea, releasing under load.

Although big and heavy, ski bindings are set to rider weight and have saved a LOT of broken legs. Imagine if that had never been invented.

ok, trying to think outside the box. (and yes I carry a hook knife, always have - two of them) +1 for the release mechanism or deflate at the kite end. Don't think I have to list out why. If we focus on just the issue of a death looping kite which seems to be the most dangerous situation, can't some...

mwuahaha, what a load of rubbish. Those two places linked to above are lagoons that fall out from Vatnajökull glacier that just erupted (ohhh...well a volcano underneath the glacier, just like Eyjafjallajökull that caused all the problems last year). On a normal day those are just turists attraction...

5/3mm wetsuit is fine. At least that's what I was wearing yesterday. It's pretty cold these days but during summertime that's what we always use. I just bring out the drysuit for wintertime sessions. There's only 1 or 2 guys selling surfboards/kitegear and they don't really keep stock. So bring your...

Try out Ocean Rodeo Mako. The huge concave gives you that edge grip you know from snowboarding and the rounded tip outline a very carvy feel (you also know from snowboarding). The stance moves also more forward riding it and feels quite similare to riding a snowboard. At least that's what it felt to...

Don't care what it's called - if I could get rid of 'edge burn' I'd be happy ! A semi pro snowboarder once looked at my board and said it was the worst case of edge burn he'd ever seen. In my mind I thought snowkite specific board meant less sidecut, true centered stance and better lamination. Afte...
