On The List

Büsum

Ulf Blöcker, a kiter from northern Germany, tells us about one of his local spots, not far from well-known St. Peter Ording, on Germany’s northwest Schleswig-Holstein coast. He recently met up with Big Air competitor Simon Bruhn for a session there.

South coast UK

Aaron Hadlow, Tom Court, Sam Light, Tom Bridge, Max Tullett and myself… Just some of the names that call the south coast of England home. It is no coincidence that these riders born and raised in the area have gone on to become household names in kiteboarding. The conditions down here are superb and it’s time to tell you about it.

Northeast Germany

A sense of adventure fills the air as I prepare for a road trip with Mathilde, my friend from Norway. Armed with a campervan, kite gear and SUPs, we set off on a journey from Stavanger, Norway to the picturesque countryside of northeast Germany. As the wheels roll beneath us, we leave behind the stunning landscapes of Norway, eager to explore new horizons. The open road stretches ahead and we pass mile after mile on the autobahn, excited to reach our destination.

North West Australia

With a massive area of 2.6 million km2 (ten times larger than the UK) and some of Australia’s most archetypal landscapes, Western Australia (aka WA) is the home of the iconic road trip. Remote and vast get completely new meanings here in Australia’s largest state. Some 1,200km north of the capital Perth – the most isolated city in the world – the World-Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef is a sparkling gem in WA’s crown. With a length of 260km and home to around 300 species of coral and 500 species of fish, it is one the largest fringing coral reefs in the world. Interestingly it is also only one of two coral reefs in the world that have formed on the western edge of any continent.

Seychelles

Meg Niblett and Benjamin Roulant are crewing a Swan 65 yacht named Eve, heading around the world. They joined the boat in Australia, then sailed to Indonesia and the Seychelles, and are currently in Europe before they continue the journey westwards. Meg tells us about kiting in the beautiful Seychelles…

Jetty Island

Nestled pretty much halfway between Squamish, BC and Hood River, OR, the Puget Sound region of the Pacific Northwest is home to many amazing kite spots that allow for year-round kiting.

The Outer Banks

The Outer Banks are a series of islands off the coast of North Carolina. They stretch for roughly 200 miles and form a giant, bent elbow, with a huge bay on the inside and the Atlantic Ocean on the other side. In many areas the islands are very narrow and you can walk from the bay to the ocean in 30 minutes or less.

The Bahamas

The Bahamas consist of three huge geological banks just beneath the water. In the Atlantic Ocean, these banks create a shallow paradise with the most emerald colored water you could ever imagine.

Pallas

Pallas is in a national park in Lapland, Finland, north of the Arctic Circle. In my opinion it is one of the finest snowkite spots in the world.
