The Cabrinha Chaos vs. the FX The Cabrinha Chaos vs. the FX The northeast of Brazil has long been a destination for freestyle kiteboarders chasing perfect wind, flat water and warmer temperatures. It's just one of those locations where conditions always deliver. While it's not the easiest place to visit, it's well worth the effort. I've always had fond memories of Taiba as it's where I got my start with video and kiteboarding. Back in 2012 I left my career to help my good friend Chris Bobry …

Every year, Craig Cunningham jumps down to Taiba, Brazil (a little fishing town) to grab some wind. Watch as North's rider Craig Cunningham shows …

Brazil Through RyGo's Eyes About 5 years ago I discovered the sport of kiteboarding through a lesson at MACkite no less. I took a lesson with a young kid named Chris Bobryk. We formed a solid friendship chasing the wind over the next year. Eventually, Chris moved to Hatteras, North Carolina to pursue kiteboarding.  While I spent my days working my 9 to 5 (that more often than not was a 7 to 7 kind of job), I started dreaming of a better life - by a better life I mean one where I could spen …

  "Kiting the Bedsheets" Check out professional kiteboarder, Hannah Whiteley, as she rides the lagoons of the Brazilian Dunes, located in Northern Brazil. This area is referred to as the "Bedsheets" due to the endless, while dunes that appear to roll like bed sheets, as seen from above. There are numerous crescent shaped dunes formed by winds, and lagoons filled with rainwater. You could probably go pool-hopping for a week, without hitting the same spot twice. New from Best: 2016 Roca Kit …

Alex Pastor/Airush - Back to Brazil Alex Pastor, one of the most loved and well-known names in the kiteboarding industry, has recently unleashed his latest raw video of his first couple of sessions after his most recent shoulder injury.

Pastor undoubtedly shines in this video, just as he does in nearly everything he accomplishes in kiteboarding. Is …
