Shop Wing Boarding Accessories.Ryan from MACkite here. Today I'm going to talk a little bit about the Ion waist board leash. I started riding the waist leash because, as soon as I started switching my feet on the board, I was having all kinds of issues with stepping on the leash. I wanted to be able to switch my feet and ride the other direction without worrying about stepping on a leash and getting my foot off the leash. I looked at calf leashes and waist leashes and ended up grabbing th …

In this interview:   Kevin, who grew up in St. Martin, got introduced to watersports like sailing and kiteboarding at a young age. He discovered kiteboarding after moving back to the Netherlands and was thrilled by the combination of surfing and flying kites.

Ben: You know the history of the Rebel: it is one of the world's best-known kites, and every single year we somehow improve it.

It used to be the best-selling kite for a number of years, but then the Neo took over because everybody starte …

What's in a Name? Matt: Probably the most exciting new kite that we have is the new Code Zero. You're probably wondering why a one-strut kite is called "Code Zero". It's a little callout to our sailing heritage with the North brand. Code Zero is a legendary light wind racing spinnaker, so with this being a light wind performance foiling kite, it's a sort of callout to the heritage of the North Sailing brand. Jake: Well, it looks epic and the staff here has absolutely loved it, as …

Jake from MACkite here today with the 2022 Manera Halo harness. I wanted to provide a mid-season update on this to let you guys know what we're loving and what we're not loving.I just came off the water with this bad boy today. One of the original problems I had with this is that I started with a size that was too small for my body. About two years ago, pre-pandemic, I was a medium. However, the medium just was not the right fit this year. I was feeling all of the hard shell and none of …

Riding in Hurricane Fiona So here's the story of two hurricanes, a gi …

Hi everybody. I'm Erik. And I'm Pat. We're instructors for MACkiteboarding, and we're doing some videos on how to hydrofoil, whether it's with eFoils, wakefoils, or wing foiling. Yes, we're going to cover some safety stuff to get you started out with.

You're also going to need a PFD--a life jacket for personal use--and we also rec …

I'll also include my thoughts since I do have experience on all of these.2022 Cabrinha Bindings The Cabrina H1 is their most simplified binding.

Why Choose Carbon? The Sonar foil system comes in a full carbon version in addition to the full alloy setup. North is one of the few brands that has a full carbon fuselage, not just a carbon mast. Carbon masts are relatively easy to produce, but saving the weight off of the fuselage is actually more important. Think about yourself holding a five-pound weight in close. You can hold it there all day, but you know how heavy it gets if you hold it out. The same thing applies at the end of the m …
