This is very cool, check out this short video of Julien Fillion kitesurfing waves on the St. Lawrence river in Canada. He's using a combination of the river current and wind to move around the river with complete ease and surf the river waves.

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!

During last months Felix Pivec worked with Firewire Surfboards on the development of the Felix Pivec Pro model.
About 4 months ago we (Firewire) were approached by Felix Pivec, one of the world’s best kite surfers. We did not know that Felix had been riding our boards for some time and was interested in making some small adjustments for the demands of kite surfing. We jumped at the chance.

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.

Kitesurfers Ben Morrison-Jack and James Weight left Cape Grim near Stanley on Tasmania's North West tip just after 7am yesterday morning and arrived on dry land in South West Victoria just short of 12 hours later!
Ben & James have been friends since high school and whilst Ben has considerable ocean sailing experience (including America's Cup challenges and Sydney to Hobart races), James is a total newcomer to ocean crossings.

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!
