Kite Controversy - Foil Kite Race Ban

The International Kiteboarding Association (IKA) is currently debating measures put forward by the Polish Kiteboarding Association (PKA) that would effectively outlaw ram-air kites from the beginning of next year. Why? There is no doubt that the new generation of foil kites that took the race scene by storm have caused some uproar over the past few months. Do foil kites really pose a safety issues or is it some crooked intrigue of manufactures that can´t (or don't want to) stand competitive pace? With worldwide events missing few riders who claimed to had left early due to the expense and lack of availability of foil kites, without which riders felt at a big disadvantage, it seems that the main concerns is not safety.

Black Ice Kiteboarding

Kiting in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest is a year round sport offering Landkiting, Snowkiting, Kiteboarding and Kitesurfing. The sport of kiting is most accessible during the Winter for snow kiting due to the frozen lakes and fields offering an abundance of open and safe kiting site locations. Leading the country in the number of snowkiters, with about 600, it’s probably the 10,000-plus lakes and long winter that make the area so appealing. Maybe that's why kiteboarders Eric Oppen and Nathan Borer got bored with the traditional way of kiting in Minnesota and decided to ginger it up and put some hockey skates on.

Beeline Cup bring together world’s best kitesurfers on Bugaz Sand-Bank

On August 15-23, 2014, on Bugaz And-Bank near Anapa in Russia will take place BeeCamp sports festival. A completely deserted sand bar in the Black Sea was discovered some ten years ago by Russia’s first kiteboarders. The place was recognized as the best in the country for several reasons: its onshore wind and two beautiful spots, with a shallow Kyzyltash Estuary for beginners on the one side of the 12-kilometer spit and the open Black Sea for professionals on the other side. The news of the perfect windy spot found in Russia has spread throughout the entire community, attracting more and more water sports fans each summer. In 2007, Bugaz Spit hosted its first-ever music and sports festival BeeCamp (formerly known as BeeKiteCamp).
