Sorting out all my magazine, I’ve got a ton

I have been able to find the very first issue of Kiteboarding magazine, I didn’t even remember I owned it: winter 1999

Very cool Seb!
I kept many mags too until some years ago, gave it all away.

The first issue you should keep !

And if you have to stay home too, scan it and post it all here! 👍🏻

Week days, working from home, busy as working on 2021 Airush equipment.

This weekend started on a new kite design for myself, will be ready to order as soon as the loft reopens.

Dog walking and then cleaning the annoying thing as it likes fox poo and muddy puddles
Cycling but not in Lycra as that’s just wrong
Running and hating every second
Baking with some success
Tidying, anything but the tax return
mostly working, it’s even busier now everyone’s at home
Drinking, every day is like Sunday
Call of Duty, getting some nice melee finishing moves in which are very satisfying
Tentatively skateboarding...Carver death-trap...only on carpet least I find a way to defeat the object of staying healthy
Child care. teachers, miss them like a first love
.....um, um, too painful to get the kites out

I still kite most everyday. That only takes up a couple of hours since I kite off my beach.
When not kiting I am working on my trimiran that I am building from scratch.

Waaaaaaaaahhhhhh in 1999 they had the solution for "Launching Big Air in only 10 knots".
I am curious to know what they said and what equipment they recommended for that. Because today, 20 years later, it is not easy to do big jumps in just 10 knots (with a twintip). Even just going upwind is a challenge in light wind !!
