for f34ks sake you blokes are just like whinging little school girls.

Go ahead and buy Kiteworld and read about skinny white pommie dudes in wetsuits riding 2 ft slop in the cloudy conditions and reviews about the latest reel leash, helmet and bouyancy vest and which fluro kites turn better because they are fluro.
Actually if you love that mag so much why don't you just move to england and free up the space you are taking up on the water.

And Dusta please stop your subscription now so we dont have read your whining every time a new issue comes out. In fact why dont you write your own mag and mail it to yourself. I am sure the crew at KBM wont miss you.
waaaaaaa

So if you would like to give us more suggestions we are more than happy to run by the team.


just a little suggestion . Normally a subscription means that you receive your copy well before it hits the shelves in the newsagents . Well over here in WA it seems we get them well after it hits the shelves . That coupled with a magazine that just seems to be getting thinner on decent content each edition means once this subscription runs out i am done .


Beaver, please refund this guy's subscription! He is obviously dissatisfied as we are constantly hearing his complaints every issue.

It's a sensational photo of a fall. ^^^
The rider fell and the kite went down.
But it's still pretty and a nice piece of photography.
A set-up composition, probably rehearsed and photographed many times.
Or maybe it was just a lucky snapshot.
lol.

Of course there's little chance of recovery from slack strings with pus wind in sizey surf.

This is magazine trickery.
Most single shots of radical airs in surf mags are pictures of surfers falling.
Mag pics should be labelled.
[successful move]
or
[failed move]
The readership has a right to know.

^^^ Actually Waveslave they shouldn't be labeled at all, because real boardsport mags don't run pictures of bails. I'm not saying this is a bail I got no idea.

As for the mag, old mate a the top has a point, go read kiteworld or something, it's full of total sh!t, I'm sure you will be back after that wank fest. If you wanna make KBM better, try and contribute something, they are always up for more content.

p.s. The saturation levels of that cover is the real thing that should be under question. (besides being hooked in of course).

If KBM asked me nicely, I might consider it. ^^^
I have a little thing happening with KITEmag at the moment.

Are you insinuating that KITEmag is the junior player in this dualopoly of Oz kiting mags ?

Hey Chadster,

Come on, you must be on the pay roll, you telling me if you are not happy with your service you accept it. I don't often whinge, well I don't think I do, but I was no impressed with the mag - can't I voice my opinion. " Was going to put some insulting remarks here but thought I should not stoop down to the level of others"

And anyway, we only get 2 foot waves in Perth anyway!!

Merry Christmas

We need a KBM or Kitemag photo annual. I had a read of the Powder photo annual yesterday and it blew me away (i dont even ski). Also had a squiz at a Wakeboarding photo annual which was also amazing (dont wakeboard either). Pretty impressive visuals/presentation of their respective sports. Both mags also had a lil blurb saying that the photo annual is the most purchased edition of the year. Can we have something like that? Something that youd be proud to whack on the coffee table?

Also, the kite view in KBM a few years ago was awesome. You had pretty much all the kites rated out of 10 for different areas (bar, wakestyle, boosting, stability, depower, turning speed, etc etc) and then a total rating and a small write up. No doubt it was alot of work and would have annoyed some advertisers but it was bloody great exactly what we need. Bring that back!

Anyone from Kitemag/KBM have any thoughts as to why this could or could not happen?

Maby since you guys get all the awesome wind in this country they figure you will be out kiting anyway and not to worried about when it arrives other than the fact its miles away from this side of the world.

As far as this issue goes i would have liked to have seen a bit more on the Rail Rodeo instead of just a few pictures at the top of a page.
