Sustainble-ish
Access Kiteboarding magazine #4 2022
Sustainability, every kitesurfing brand is talking about it. Unfortunately, we all know that the materials for our kites and boards are not the most sustainable. Making these products will always have an ecological footprint: chemicals, plastics and energy are used. But that said: kitesurfers do want to take care of the planet and our own playground.
To write down everything that happens in this area, you could already fill an entire Access number. In general, we can say that everyone is doing something and the industry is already well on its way. In this article you will find a selection of what the various kitesurfing brands are doing in terms of sustainability, based on their own websites. Not a complete and finite list, but inspiring: time to map out these initiatives.
Kite Park League Sicily
Access Kiteboarding magazine #2 2023
At the end of May, a selective group of kitesurfers traveled to Lo Stagnone, part of the island of Sicily, for the second stop of the Kite Park League. A three-stop tour, ending this fall with a final in Brazil. No double kiteloops or big air tricks in 30+ knots, but rails, kickers and large size kites with a light breeze. During the first stop in Patagonia, Argentina in February this year, the first 10 riders qualified for the finals in Brazil. Who won the other places for that final in Italy? Access reports on the competition in Sicily and spoke to Noé Font about the championship tour of kite park riding.
