You'll be on the board in ten hours.

In this issue you will find high-quality information about kitesurfing and trends from the scene.

The following topics await you:

Test Big Air Boards

Harder, faster, higher? This is only a limited rule of thumb for big air boards. After all, what's the use of a board that professionals use to break 30 meters if normal people can't ride it?

Test all-round kites

If you don't want to - or maybe just don't have the cash - to stuff your trunk full of kites for every special discipline, you're well advised to go with all-rounders. These kites are designed to combine freeride, freestyle, big air and waves. However, most weight some disciplines more than others. But some combine everything at an amazingly high level.

Update: El Gouna

A lot has happened since our last report on the classic Egyptian spot. New stations have opened, well-known ones have surprisingly closed - and a lot has been built. Reason enough for KITE travel author Almut Otto to take another short trip to the lagoon city to inspect all the important kite spots from north to south.

Interview Giel Vlugt

In this issue you will find high-quality information about kitesurfing and trends from the scene.

The following topics await you:

Ben Wilson

He was style-defining for the development of kitesurfing, founded his own kite brand and has scored more good cloudbreak waves than almost anyone else: Ben Wilson - portrayed by Lenni Bach.

Wave test 2022

Fat swell and tight turns - in our wave test, Sal got down to business. We've tested the hottest wave kites and boards in both side-on and offshore conditions. As is so often the case, choosing the right equipment depends on factors such as ability, weight and individual riding style. Our test shows which kites and boards work for whom.

Peniche

Peniche and Baleal are surfer hotspots. But the Portuguese coast also has a lot to offer for kiters - if the wind plays along. Axel Reese was there for the spot check.

Sardinia and Sicily

Together with the Cabrinha crew, Alby Rondina went on a photo tour of his Italian homeland last year. Sardinia and Sicily are what the whole team is passionate about - not just because of the many local delicacies. For KITE, Alby presents his favorite spots and tells what you can experience there on and off the water.

On this time 130 pages you will find high-quality information about wingsurfing and trends from the scene.

Interesting topics for the scene, as well as for newcomers and everyone else who is interested in this wonderful sport.

Editor-in-Chief Dirk Herpel and publisher Arne Schuber have once again put in a lot of effort to make issue 3/22 another hit. These and other topics are waiting for you:

Title heroine - Steffi Wahl

Steffi on top of the foil, somewhere below with diving goggles and camera in the crystal clear water of Brazil on the Baltic Sea Bulgenslag aka Frithjof Blaasch. And if you look very closely, you will also find a small jellyfish that has cheated its way into the picture.

Best Seat - Wesley Brito

Sleek, powerful style and a whole lot of ambition, that's how 22-year-old Wesley Brito wants to write his part of wingfoil history. He foiled a very impressive part in front of his front door on Boa Vista. We didn't even know until then that such a fat slab was at home in Lapverde.

Short Range - Lake Garda

First came the sailors, then the windsurfers, and eventually the kiters. Now more and more wingfoilers are conquering the "Munich Sea". No wonder, since the sometimes gusty wind on Italy's largest inland lake is no problem at all with the foil. And even the space problems on the shore of Lago di Garda make you sweat less as a wingfoiler than as a kiter.

Wings - flight attendants

Once again we invited a new crew to our tough aptitude test. Nine new wings competed for our favor: Airush x Starboard FreeWing Nitro, Airush x Starboard FreeWing Go, Cabrinha Mantis, Duotone Slick SLS, RRD Wind Wing, Tahe Alizé, Takuma RS, Wingrider Sparrow Blackline and Rakoon Wing V2 are the current ones candidates.

Boards & Foils - playmates

Our entry-level and intermediate board/foil test candidates are looking forward to revealing their sleek values. Boards: Fanatic Sky Wing 5'6", Fanatic Sky Air Premium 5'4", Indiana Wing Foil 128, Indiana Wing Foil 129 Inflatable, SIC Raptor Air 5'11", Starboard Wingboard 7'0", Tabou Pocket Air 117 MTE , Armstrong Wing SUP 5'2", Enis Rock'n'Roll 77, RRD Beluga Pro 90. Foils: Fanatic Aero Lift 2400, Starboard S-Type 2000, Armstrong CF1200, RRD Blaze 1250, SIC Slash 1200, Takoon X-Glide 1050

Short Range - Sweden

The far north lures with lonely beaches, unbelievable light and amazingly good waves. Even hardcore northerners like Steffi Wahl, Dominik Röckl and Frithjof Blaasch, who regularly head north like migratory birds, are always surprised.

Long Distance - Baltic Crossing

Michael Walther and Mario Rodwald have already done a distance together. That's how it went two years ago by kite and SUP 700 kilometers around Schleswig-Holstein. Now they want to fly from Kiel across the Baltic Sea to Denmark with Wing and Foil: one there and one back, 50 kilometers each. It was anything but a comfortable visit to the neighbors...

Portfolio - Ana Catarina

Water photographers don't really exist like sand by the sea, and certainly not women with water cases in front of their eyes. The 40-year-old Brazilian belongs to this very rare species. Ever since she quit her office job and held the camera in front of her eyes with flippers on her feet, she's been living the best life she can imagine. You can see it in their pictures.

Editor-in-Chief Dirk Herpel and publisher Arne Schuber have once again put in a lot of effort to make issue 2/22 another hit. These and other topics are waiting for you:

Title Heroes - Titouan Galea & Hugo Marin

Sharing is caring... with such a fat wave behind you, you should know exactly with whom you are getting involved in such a not entirely harmless game. But Titouan and Hugo know exactly what the other can do, and so it rightly funzt with the two.

Gear Tuning - Naish Wing R&D

Robby himself explains to us why grips on a wing are a science in their own right, why he doesn't believe in three almost identical models that primarily only have different prices, why the current Wind-Sufer MK4 looks the way it looks and why for him wind foiling is the best wind sport of all, at least in flat water and less wind.

Best Seat - Next Generation

Some people in Tarifa widened their eyes in the spring. No wonder, because F-One had invited to the training camp and ten of the best wingfoil groms jumped and surfed with world champion Titouan Galea and his coaching crew. Some of them so good that in the end Tito wasn't quite sure anymore who was teaching whom...

Wings - flight attendants

And once again we have invited a new crew to the tough aptitude test. Eight new wings competed for our favor: Armstrong A-Wing V2, GA Gross, Gunsails Hy-Wing V2, KT Wing Air, Ozone Wasp 3, Reedin SuperWing X, Reedin SuperWing and Surfstar Wing are the current candidates.

Best Seat - Fabian Rieger

Sailors know immediately who is involved when the name Fabian Rieger is mentioned, after all the man from Kiel in the 49er, together with his teammate Tim Fischer, is one - ladies press! - worth future Olympic medal. What not so many people know yet: Fabi's favorite hobby is wingfoiling and he has a lot of skills there too, especially when it gets stormy.

XXL test - 16 brand new wings, 8 sporty boards, 6 fast foils

The development steps in wingfoiling are huge. Especially since many new developments are spilling over from kitesurfing and windsurfing, especially with wings such as Aluula material or handles. So we were more than a little excited when we took to the water in front of Sal with our wing flock of 16 brand new wings. Here are our impressions.

Sinker, semi-sinker, floater – the volumes of our eight new boards range from 40 to 90 liters. The six foils that were also tested range from 800 to 1,500 square centimeters in area, so they go very well with the sporty board shapes. And here, too, the new developments are significantly more powerful than their predecessors.

Foil Labor – Klass Voget explains

Klaas Voget is one of the best wingfoilers in Germany and at the same time responsible for wingfoil development at Fanatic. Exactly the right interview partner to give us an insight into current trends in foils, masts and fuselages.

Cape Verde – Foil Salsa

Sal has one of the most famous and fiercest waves in the world, Ponta Preta. Too spicy for your taste? Don't worry, the island also offers plenty of less spicy spots that are perfect for wingfoiling and also offer the perfect luxury from bed to foil.

Girl Power - Bowien van der Linden

When you have parents who are enthusiastic about water sports like the young Dutch woman and also spend half the year in Cape Town and the other half on the Dutch coast, it is almost inevitable that you will also surf yourself. It was a big surprise even for her that she became wingfoil world champion.

Peru – Dream Left

Lonely lefts, lots of bumpy sand tracks and constant offshore wind: The Ride Engine Team is conquering new territory in the southern hemisphere and making us all dream of flying to Peru one day. Those who don't shy away from the long journey will be rewarded with endless, clean, creamy waves that even the pros were amazed by.

Bulgenslag – Heimatbilder reloaded

Frithjof Blaasch is Nordic by nature through and through, even if the 31-year-old from Kiel mostly frolics in the water off Brazil. On the other hand, it's just 30 minutes from Kiel to Brazil.
