FOCUS

Angely Bouillot TANGLED LINES LEGENDS • Angely Bouillot is perhaps best known for being the only woman to take part in the Red Bull King of the Air so far in the event’s history. Since then she continues to kill it in Big Air with her fearless style, recently breaking the women’s jump height record with a monumental WOO jump of 32.6m. Her fellow Big Air kiters and CORE team riders threw some questions at her.

ON THE LIST Büsum GERMANY • Ulf Blöcker, a kiter from northern Germany, tells us about one of his local spots, not far from well-known St. Peter Ording, on Germany’s northwest Schleswig-Holstein coast. He recently met up with Big Air competitor Simon Bruhn for a session there.

NAISH TRIAD

Langebaan • Luca Ceruti grew up at one of the world’s most popular kite spots, an hour north of windy Cape Town. No surprise then that he is an accomplished Big Air rider, participating in competitions such as Red Bull Megaloop and King of the Air. He recently joined the Flysurfer international team, so we thought we’d find out where it all began for him.

LOVE LETTERS TO KITEBOARDING • The diaries of Cohan and Steezy Pete

Driven by the Wind • Baptiste Bourdoulous wanted to show the world how incredible the Greek island of Mykonos can be for kiting and particularly for Big Air high jinks. What better way to do so than to invite World Champion Andrea Principi over, sprinkle in some Aaron Hadlow, convey them to the best spots on the island, get the cameras rolling, and put together this stunning video.

RENDEZVOUS AT SUNSET • We’ve said it before in these illustrious pages, and we’ll no doubt say it again, the golden hour as the sun goes down is usually an outstanding time to take photos, and the Levitaz team proved that point on their recent trip to Egypt to photograph their latest board range. Product manager Michael Zeilinger told us all about it.

CHASING SUNRAYS • Kari Schibevaag and friends Catrine, Lone and Guro embarked on a journey south to swap the freezing temperatures of Norway’s winter for the welcoming warmth of Egypt. The land of ancient wonders and crystal-clear water dished up a kiting and yachting adventure in the sun that was just what they needed. And, spoiler alert, they even got to swim with dolphins.

THE CREATORS. HUGH PINFOLD • As well as being a bonafide ninja on a snowboard, skateboard and mountain bike, Hugh Pinfold from New Zealand is an accomplished kitesurfer and foiler, having been on the scene for over 20 years, and working in the industry on product design for a number of brands. Now firmly entrenched in the North family, we caught up with him about his latest baby, the Navigator Pro.

Under CABRINHA The Hood • As Cabrinha heads into its 25th year in the kite industry we thought it would be a good time for a catch up with their Marketing Manager James Boulding about how the brand started and where it’s headed, with a redesigned Switchblade on the table and new Apex kites providing the next level in technical materials performance.
