Breaking News on the 2011 Crazy Fly Kites!

Sculp, Moowii & Slash Kites will compliment the Kiteboard range for 2011.
That's right the World renound European board maker famous for its Procarbon Raptor & Rocky models has expanded into the high end kite market.

The word is out about a whole new kite for 2011 season that is set to replace the World renound Waroo and Nemesis model kites.
BEST Kiteboarding never makes small steps, they are always leaping forward with their latest designs.
Breaking away from the Waroo and Nemesis names is the surest way to tell the World that something completely new is on the horizon.
As with the hugely succesful release of the Kahoona V2 in Europe this season, the Taboo hits the mark with it's target market.

All will be revelaed officially in the next week or two. But here is what I can tell you so far.

Kiwi customers are already raving about this kite.
As soon as the first shipment was opened riders wanted to see if this new Kahoona matched the hype.

From the moment they hit the water riders have been blown away by the ease of use.
Fast and positive handling, ease of jumping, kite looping, wave riding & pure low down grunt the Kahoona has it all.
Combine that with the all new control bar and it's like getting your hands on a new sports car.

We are please to announce that we have a facebook page.
Please feel free to interact online and post your news and views.

I just returned from Europe with my bag crammed full of awesome European Kitesurfing magazines.

Of course I'm not going to share them, I'd never get them back, just like all my Stance DVD's I loaned out right!
Anyway, here is an online version I'm happy to share with you.
Happy reading! - Lee McClelland

"KB4girls" stands for both "KiteBoarding for girls" and "KristinBoese for girls". While this word game may be a coincidence it basically says everything about the basic structure of KB4girls: Kristin Boese organises Kite Boarding clinics for female kiteboarders!

event target:
to bring together female kiters of all ages and levels, to have fun together and to possibly build kite-friendships and communities
to give tips and tricks that help the girls to improve their kiting easily, to educate about equipment and safety, to motivation female kiteboarders
to motivate more female kiteboarders to compete in national and international competitions (not necessary!), to talent scout female kiters

I had a phone call from Mike Watson yesterday, this was the first I had head of the serious Kiteboarding accident down at Taupo.
It's sad to hear of this news and our thoughts go out to Byron, and also to his friends and family who are all affected by this unfortunate accident.
Little in the way of details are available from the media who are reporting this accident. And we all await further news.

This is a video clip of the 4wd trip down Muriwai Beach for the annual 'Moose Meet'.
Colin and I  decided to make the trip down the beach (45mins) and were rewarded with just fantastic riding conditions.
Obviously we couldn't take the camer on the water, so there are a few details missing from the days riding.

Like the super long speed runs we did that were around 500m long.There is an area just further upwind that we kited to that at low tide offers Aucklands best speed riding area. So we had to go for a play in that. Colin was on the 8m BEST Nemesis and I was on the 07 Yarga. You can see the spot at the end of the clip, super thin super long super fast. It starts off about 40m wide then spits into two channels, we took one each and went like a bat out of hell.

If you have never been to the end of Muriwai, this clip gives you a good insight into the trip and what awaits you at the end.
Check out the new 2010 BEST Waroo jumps! (Yellow Kite) Super smooth and very high too.
We would have more footage but the wid was building so fast we had to pack the camera away and just ride.

The final minutes of the clip show Perrin carnking along at over 80km/hr in his buggy. Sweet!

Check out this wicked video of the latest 2010 Kites and boards being ridden at the Gorge, USA,

Wicked Unhooked and Kiteloop action going down.

Picking your new Waroo kite sizes.
Take the time to plan the right quiver.
Waroo  sizes: 7m, 9m, 11m, 13m
