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.

If you wanna make KBM better, try and contribute something, they are always up for more content.

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

Sh!t man, you in the big league!

haha. ^^^

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

last time i checked i was free to voice my own opinion .

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?
