Halfway there, the brothers had to pull over on the side of a mountain just to get the drone up — the scenery was too good to pass. From the …

The Brazilian Brothers from MACkiteboarding hit the road for a strike mission from Cape Town to Witsand — a legendary flat water spot a few hours up the South African coast.

The Journey Three and a half hours of non-stop driving got the brothers officially into the middle of nowhere. No water in sight, no ocean on the horizon, and a b …

The Brazilian Brothers reported in from Kite Beach in Cape Town, South Africa — the legendary home of Red Bull King of the Air and a yearly stage for some of the biggest big air kiteboarding on the planet. The plan was simple: check the conditions, see what was going on, and get on the water. The reality, as it often does in Cape Town, had other ideas. Chasing the Wind The first stop was a bust. Kite Beach was empty — a little swell rolling through, no riders in the water, and no " …

The Brazilian Brothers caught up with world-class pro rider Max Tullet at Kite Beach in Cape Town for a session that wasn't going to be subtle. With 35 knots of nuclear wind ripping through and two-to-three-meter waves stacking up offshore, the conditions were perfect for putting the brand-new Duotone Rebel D/Lab through its paces — and Max was the right rider to do it. The Rebel D/Lab Experience Heading into the lineup with proper wind and serious swell, Max couldn't have been more stok …

Tucker scored a dreamy spring session on Lake Michigan, just north of the Grand Haven pier, with the 2025 Cabrinha AER wing in hand.

From buttery arcs to playful hits, it's the kind of ride that reminds you why w …

Jeff is back for another session chat, this time with Skip. What did the day bring, what gear did they take out, and how did it go? How Were the Conditions?

Jeff and Ryan went out for a session together in Muskegon but had very different experiences. Ryan was on a wing, while Jeff opted for a parawing. He's had a couple hours on parawings, but it's still a new skill for him, while Ryan had never used one before. They'd originally planned to swap gear during the session, but the conditions weren't ideal for parawinging and Ryan decided to wait for a better day to give it a try. What were those conditions like, what did each of them ride, and h …
