An environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum based neoprene

This summer, Ride Engine is taking its product line to a whole new level

With no wind anywhere nearby, I found myself starting to go a little stir crazy in the office, so I sent an email to Brendan Richards to see what the conditions in Santa Cruz had been like lately.

Here's the latest video from Caution Kiteboarding's hometown of Santa Cruz. If you think it looks cold, that because it is.

Our first impression when unrolling the Spitfire is that this kite is built to take a beating. It’s a five-strut one pump kite with a compact bridle. Both the front and rear bridles use one pulley per side, but Caution uses a unique molded block with no moving parts.

This video was shot over the course of two afternoons at Waddell during the fall.

This video features Caution team rider Josh Nehf kitesurfing in Santa Cruz.

For 2011 Caution has streamlined its kite offerings to a single line of kites, combining all the best features from their 2010 line into a single kite.

After seeing the trees moving in his back yard, Blake and his buddies head to Lexington Reservoir to kite it for their first, and their last time.

Upon inflating the MX, we found it to be a stylish kite complete with Caution’s trademark flame graphics across the top of the canopy. The Mayhem X is very stable, rock solid in the gusts, and delivers a strong consistent power stroke.

If you kitesurf at any beach near Santa Cruz, California, there is something that will jump out at you immediately. An overwhelming number of people ride gear from one company: Caution Kites.

We kept the name the same for the 2010 model, but made significant changes to the profile and wingtips, making some serious gains in efficiency and control.
