Brunotti Kite Blue Wave 2010

A beautiful kitesurfing board.

We have tested this board in the 5’5 size.

It is an excellent board for the those mushy broken sloppy waves. It is very versatile and forgiving; you can wipe the wave, jump on the wave, go easily upwind, everything, it does everything well.It is very light, responsive, fast, stable. It is a lot of fun.

It is one of the best kitesurfing boards for the kiteboarder who wants to start kitesurfing waves. The transition from a twintip to this directional board is really easy as it comes with straps, you can start riding immediately. Of course, you will have to be familiar with riding toeside or jibing otherwise you will have to stop to change direction.

Kitesurfing Boards for Lightwind

Kitesurfing boards are a quite often an underestimated element when thinking about solutions to be able to kitesurf during those nice sunny summer days when the wind is just not enough for the standard kitesurfing equipment quiver.

Up until recently, kitesurfers used bigger and bigger kitesurfing kites to make use of that gentle wind and be able to cruise gently. But bigger kitesurf kites mean also slower kites and it is in general very painful to relaunch such a big monster when it falls from the sky.

Today, more and more people are realizing that the solution is not using bigger kites but using floaty kitesurfing boards instead. The principle behind is that when using a positively buoyant board, the pull of the kite is only needed to move the kitesurfer on the surface of the water rather than out of the water and therefore much less energy is needed.

Kite Show cumbuco claims to be “the most entertaining kiteboarding event in the world”. Their slogan is “KITEboarding is back!” and what they want to mean is Old school, big airs, lots of spins, grabs, etc. what, we have to admit, it is a lot of fun for the riders and for those enjoying a caipirinha on the beach. If you add temperatures between 23C and 30C, water temperature around the 28C, wind everyday, flat water and waves, you can be sure Cumbuco must be a big show also during this competition. This is just a couple of examples to give an idea of the disciplines in competition, this is going to be fun:

Welcome to Kitesurfing Boards!!

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist brings all the kites and boards with him

We would like this site to become a useful source of information and a reference for all of us kitesurfers. We are passionate about our sport and would like to share this passion with everyone.

Kitesurfing is a very special activity, an incredible sense of freedom, feeling the power of the wind and waves, the speed, the adrenaline boost of jumping, every session is different, every session we learn something new, and above all we are an amazingly helpful community.

If you are new to the sport, get ready for a life-changing sport. Some people quit their jobs to be able to enjoy more time kiteboarding others change job or country, some people wake up at 5.00 AM to have a session before going to work or study, most of us have a permanent screen with the wind forecast for our area, webcams, weather forecast, etc. that we monitor with the hope of having another memorable session today.
