Six days of blue skies, fresh winds and a winner-takes-all battle for the $30,000 prize pool.

Professional kiteboarders and industry leaders provide the scoop on 30 must-visit kiting destinations.

One of Tahoe’s most prominent ski areas, Sugar Bowl Resort, has embraced this sport and will be offering a riding and lesson area for people to learn and enjoy.

Snowkite Soldier is proud to announce the launching of the 3rd annual Kite Soldiers snowkite event in the mountains and plains of central Idaho.

This week, The Kiteboarder Magazine interviews guests Tim Hatler of Palapas Ventana, Marie LeClerc from Elevation Kiteboarding/Baja Joe’s, and John Ashley from Paddlesurf.net on the upcoming La Ventana Classic and Kite/SUP Expo.

There are those in the sport of kiteboarding who think kiteboarding will one day be in the Olympics. That day may come in the near future, but this winter, kiteboarders will already be participating in the 2010 Olympic Games.

But a core group of San Francisco kiters look to fall, winter and spring as a time for a different kiting experience, where big waves and wild winds at a number of key spots make for some of the best kiting of the year.
