Technique

Christian and Karine are back again, and they have two new moves for you to learn! First up, they are refining your beach start with the two-footed approach, no more awkward hopping around with one foot in. This is all about dropping the board and springing on in one smooth movement. Then they move on to the beach bounce transition, full of fun, a few inevitable slow-motion wipeouts along the way, but once you have it dialled, you will be in complete control.

Board Off Dismount

Whilst pondering all the moves, grabs, transitions, airs, washes, strokes, tweaks, pops, passes and loops that we’ve covered on these hallowed pages, it struck us that we haven’t been particularly generous on the dismounts. To make amends, here is the board off dismount. Actually, a very achievable trick, since there’s no need to get it back on, it works in...

We’ve covered this on a twinny, now it’s time for the surfboard challenge and at a later date the foiling version will be explained. Regardless of craft this is a fun move, which looks brilliant, feels brilliant and let’s be honest, is brilliant. Perfecting this strapless is admittedly a fraction more tricky than on a twin tip with straps, but...

It’s an unwritten fact, that to really prove yourself as an accomplished front looper, you must learn to slow your rotation down, so that your complete 360 matches perfectly the time you spend in the air. This of course shows great control, adds oodles of style and concerning this next move teaches you how to land from a non completed,...

ION Products Amaze Core 4/3 Front Zip Wetsuit Women

When I first unboxed ION’s Amaze CORE 4/3 Front Zip, the very first thing I noticed was how incredibly soft it felt. It did not have that stiff, rubbery feel you sometimes get with thicker wetsuits. The colour immediately stood out too. The purple and lime green combo is bright, bold, and definitely a standout on the beach. What I...

The Ozone Edge has long been one of the defining kites in Ozone’s range, a benchmark for speed, hangtime, and upwind drive. Now in its 13th iteration (the “VT” stands for Version Thirteen), the Edge continues to evolve while keeping its core DNA intact. The new lineup spans 6 to 13m in one-metre steps, plus 15m and 18m options for...

It takes the refined platform of the Edge VT, complete with its new platform, refined arc, and 16-point bridle, and builds it around a complete Aluula airframe, with a new super-light canopy...
