As one of the world's best surfers, Danny Wills was sure to have the board riding skills to kitesurf! So when Ben Wilson recently gave Danny a kiting lesson, it was no surprise he was up and riding in less than 2 hours!

Handling your kite properly in the waves could lead you to more aggressive turns, flow and maybe even a barrel. Kite positioning when riding the waves is one of the most important and tricky skills to learn for successful wave riding. Putting your kite in the wrong spot can wreck your wave and even your session. Trying to control two forms of power (wave power and kite power) can be very overwhelming and daunting, especially in bigger waves. Each wind direction has its rightful formula to make it all come together. Here are some tips to help you pull it all together...

AfriKen is laying down the gauntlet to all kitesurfers... are you up for it? January 2010 marks the first AfriKen Kite Surfing Surfari in South Africa - this is not your average kitesurfing trip. Throw in the wilds of Africa, consistent wind, incredible waves, a beautiful coastline, a great crew of people, a well equipped road trip and a couple of pro kitesurfers and you've got the makings of an incredible 2 weeks!

Ben's got the life - more than a month after finishing our kitesurfing camp in Bali, he's still cruising around Indo surfing and kitesurfing his brains out!
"I just had a few fun days kiting in Indonesia with my new Octane kites, they're working really well and I'm stoked on them so I thought I'd make a quick flick! Enjoy..." Ben.

We have just returned from running our second wave camp in Bali. We had a great crew including Brian Wheeler from Kiteboarder Usa mag. Also there is a travel feature on Bali in the latest edition of KBmag which is out next week. So with all that press next years trip are going to fill up fast. If you have any questions about the camps just post them here. Cheers

John Omohundro (founder/owner Aviso boards) flew to Bali to join me for this year's Bali Kitesurf Wave camp and hand deliver the first 5'8 Celaritas out of the tool to me. This is the first day of surfing it and kiting it, the waves aren't epic, but fun enough to get me hooked on the board as it's super light, alive and if his theory of "it will last forever" is correct then potentially one the best constructed and feeling boards I have ridden.
Check out the video...

Slingshot officially announced their partnership with Aviso Surf this week. Aviso are the leaders in carbon fibre surfboards in the US. After spending a week in Bali recently with John from Aviso and seeing Ben Wilson stoked on his boards, I'm confident carbon fibre boards are going to be popular with kiters... not to mention the fact they look sick!
