Competition

We’ve teamed up with Ride Engine to bring you a fantastic prize this issue. All you have to do is subscribe to be in with a chance of winning! The Air Box Mini is the biggest thing to happen in pumping your kite since we got rid of the hand pumps in 2001! Get on the water faster, let the pump do the work while you do your lines, it’s also great for travelling, being considerably smaller than a traditional pump!
