Any West Coast stuff this time???
or is it same old east coast stuff..... AGAIN?????
KBM can you make sure your existing subscribers on the west coast get the mag before it hits the shelves???
I received the March issue in early April 
Apart from that keep up the good work.
Bruce and KBM team, awesome choice of front cover shot!
Big thank you to the event photographer Rob Webb from Sydney who traveled up for the rail jam and worked tirelessly all event! I am so stoked on the cover, I was really hoping we had a shot worthy from any of the commited riders who did the night shoot, can't wait to see the mag for real and the other photo's from the event. The night shoot was definatley worth the effort at 2am!
I am working on a little vid to go with the issues release highlighting the passion and great attitudes from all the riders who made the trek to Mackay, I will put a drop on seabreeze shortly!

sick colours on the cover. is the shot upside down or the board barely on the wall?
I have a small criticism and can't find a better thread for it.
I've picked up the last 4 or so issues of KBM and I like it. Lots of local stuff and the photography is usually stellar. One thing that has bothered me is the use of the word "Review". Usually, in magazines review means an actual first hand account of your opinions on something. The bar review for example was informative and everything but no real opinions or as ridden experiances. It was mostly just a point form look at the features of each, not rating how anyone actually found them to use.
I'll be interested to see what is in the harness review. I can (and admittedly do) read the company blurb on nearly every board, kite, wetsuit, and harness for myself. What i want is to hear how a rider found a board, or whatever else in certain conditions. I know that logistically that is a huge effort to do for say a "2010 surf board review" but that is what I expect.
Keep up the good work and continually improving. Looking forward to the next issue.
"Just so you know the content is driven primarily by pro active kiters - and pro active brands who go out and work to get great shots to offer us to run - quite simply that is how it works"
To make sure I have this clear in my mind.....
If a company gives you shots and writes up a story, you will run it. (if its up to standard) But you wont pay for those shots or articles?
Nice business plan. Get the content for free, package it up and sell to the masses...I like it.
You know Kite mag does the same, but their mag is free!
Nice one Jake, killing it!
I do remember all of us doing that on the wall at some point hahah!
Once the mag is out and all the photos have been sorted etc, I will add a few here and put the rest onto my website for people to view and can download etc!
The vid is coming together, won't be anything great but it does showcase the atmosphere and the awesome attitudes of riders etc!
KBM had a really good kite review a few years ago. Named the reviewers, their background, and riding style. Every kite was rated out of 10 on a number of factors (wakestyle, relaunch, turning speed, bar, etc,etc) and given a total amount of points. It was actually really helpful. Should do that again for sure
Good I reckon, theyll up the ante for sure. Im looking forward to this months offerings from both mags. Healthy rivalry
