The Kiteboarder June08 Instructional Issue Now Available
http://www.thekiteboarder.com/wordpr...ne08_cover.jpg
Every year, The Kiteboarder Magazine and top instructors from across North America work together to develop The Kiteboarder’s annual instructional guide for beginner to advanced riders. With so many changes in equipment, safety systems and teaching methods, we think its important to present the most updated instructional teaching methods, tips and gear choices year to year. It’s a ‘hair on fire” project that takes a ton of time, energy,coordination and fact checking but we think it’s a helpful and necessary resource that provides important information for kiteboarder’s of all levels. This guide is NOT meant to replace lessons but is an informational guide to help supplement your learning curve, increase your knowledge base and progress your riding level.

Great job on this issue Marina, Ryan, Paul and all the troops! Nice content and delivery. It was a good idea to cover beginners to experienced riders in the Instructional. I like the wx section but I could be biased?
