Aaron at MACkite- let's talk about the Cabrinha dealer meeting in Mexico! We had an amazing trip down to Isla Blanca, Mexico, which is just north of Cancun.

Blake from MACkite here on my way to Buffalo, which does not seem like the best idea. I had already planned it and had my whole trip booked, and then there's this catastrophic blizzard of the century that just hit. My heart goes out to everyone that had to go through that over there at Christmas break, and all the lives lost. So, so sad and tragic. I can't imagine having something like that happen over the holidays. I was going to go home to Key West, but I got this great opportunity to go w …

What's up, guys? I'm Rygo. I'm Kristen. And we're back in Michigan. We've been on tour in the RV for a while now, and then we've been kiting down south in West Michigan, getting so many good freestyle sessions. We've had the most ridiculously smooth south winds here, like 16.7 to 17.7, just perfect big kite freestyle. We've got some stronger days lining up, but about three hours north in northwest Michigan. It's kind of like going to another world up there. Yeah, the water up there is …

Hey, Aaron and Jeff here at MACkite. We just got off the water and we had a good session this morning. Jeff experienced his first go with the Duotone Click bar, and I just wanted to get his unscripted feedback on that bar. What are your thoughts? I'm not a fan, but I've never ridden it until this morning. I thought the Click was just a gadget, and I'm used to above-the-bar tuning. Yeah, you know, way back during the development on the Click bar when we were first getting the concept ide …
