It is time for the greatest tour in kitesurfing culture. We went to Texas with Naish. As the snow began to fall in The Gorge, Wyatt Cohen (New owner of South Padre Island Kiteboarding) and I (Nick Stuart the North American Naish Rep) hopped on a plane to Texas hoping to catch the beginning of the season in South Padre Island.  South Padre has huge flats that are waist deep for as far as you can see, and on the other side of this narrow island is the Gulf of Mexico that provides you with small to medium size surf.   During their windy season that runs from November through April they get pretty consistent 18 to 25 mph winds.

Upon arrival to this island that is located on the boarder of the US and Mexico, we were immediately welcomed by 75 degrees and blue skies.  Not bad since we just left in a snow storm. We headed straight for the South Padre Island Kiteboarding Shop on the north side of the island to meet up with the rest of the crew.  After packing up the trailer we immediately bee-lined it to the North Flats for 3 days of demos.  The wind was light and came in waves.  Despite the conditions there was a great crowd of people that were stoked to see the new line up.  During the lulls in wind, riders that had traveled to South Padre from all over the US gave great feedback on the kites and what characteristics are most important for their local beach.  At the end of the third day the wind still had never fully kicked in, but the trip was still a success due to the great company on the North Flats.  A big thank you goes out to the Crew at SPIK and all of the riders that hung out at the North Flats for 3 days.

As Wyatt Cohen headed back to The Gorge, I traveled north to Corpus Christi to drop in on Jeff Howard at the Kiteboarding.com Shop.  This shop truly deserves the name “shop” with bladders being repaired in the front, and Jeff Howard sewing some sort of prototype in the back.  Jeff and crew had great insight as to everything kite related, from the local scene to kite construction.  I found out among many things that Corpus has great year round winds, tons of spots and very diverse riding conditions.  I look forward to returning to ride with the Corpus Crew soon.  Thanks for lunch Jeff!

Leonardo Nika of team Naish Italy, is the winner of the King of the Island Stand-up Paddle Sprint Race event, held September 5th on the beautiful island of Bergeggi in Liguria. It was a beautiful day with many spectators who were curious about the still young sport of SUP. Besides the official race, people also had the opportunity to try stand-up boards and get a feel for this great sport. Naish Italy was a sponsor of the event, and was there to provide boards. Congratulations, Leonardo! Kitekurs Varberg will always wish you the best.

Australian surfing history was created at the Country Energy Australian Surf Festival recently, with the first-ever Australian women’s SUP champion crowned. The event was held at Town Beach in NSW Australia, in perfect conditions. All the girls were ripping, but Emma Webb (riding a Naish Nalu 9’0”) etched her name in the record books, winning the competition in clean, three-foot waves. Emma beat out fellow competitors Jenny Ryan, Davina Drinan (Naish Hokua 8’10”) and Sondra Purser. kitesurf varberg Reports are so proud of this kitesurfing women.

Jenny Kalmbach and Karen Wrenn have done it again — taking the crown and finishing 1st in the women’s division and 6th and 7th overall at the 11 City Race Tour in Europe.

The girls both paddled on 14’0” Javelin’s, together from start to finish in this grueling 220 km race. They used a great racing technique called “drafting.” The girls would draft for 1km and then switch. They averaged 5.2 mph throughout the race!

Karen Wrenn finished in first place, one second ahead, making her the official winner in the women’s division. The girls crossed the finish line at virtually the same time though, taking the top podium spot and coming in an hour and a half ahead of the third-place female finisher (overall time for 5 days of racing). Kitesurf Varberg will report more updates so check this site frequently.

The 2010 Naish Jever SUP World Cup was recently wrapped up in Hamburg, Germany.

Naish foot pod explained by the inventor. Kind permission of Naish Kites in conjunction with Kite.nu

My name is Madison Van Heurck. I’m 17 years old. I’m from St. Thomas and I’m going to teach you how to do back mobe.

First, sweet-looking back mobe. Keep the edge, I don’t know, as fast as you want. It doesn’t really matter on how fast you’re going. So, just go for your first time. And let me explain what this is. It’s a backroll with an inverted 360 handle pass. So, you go for backroll, and when you pass the bar, it’s going to be upside down. So, you’re going –just go in the way that you want to pass the bar and hop for your backroll, edge, do the waist to the backroll. Don’t take off without edging. You really need to edge throughout most of the backroll before you get there. And once you’re in the air, you hold the bar hard down to your hip, same time, throw your legs up over your head and you’ll start rotating the handle-pass. And you’ll be inverted at that point and you’ll catch the bar, stick it clean, if you may, the 360.

HOW TO DO A MOBE 7 WITH KEVIN LANGEREE
Hi, I’m Kevin Langeree. Mobe 7 is one of the latest and hardest tricks to do. And first of all, you have to have a lot of speed again. Make sure you can do your — first, you have to know how to do a back mobe. If you know how to do a back-mobe, try to do a mobe 5. And if you know how to do that, you can start to learn how to do it into wraps. If you can do that, if you can do a back mobe to wrap, it’s pretty easy to make it a double one. Just pass the bar in the air. So, you take off, do your first back mobe. Spot the water, so you’re not going to over-rotate and touch the bar surface as you can again and hope you grabbed it in the middle and landed smoothly.
