hhhmmm she doesnt look to uncomfortable to me, im willing to try and ill let you know..... oh and what she has a chin??? didnt look that far. lol

As a female kitesurfer who regularly buys kitesurfing mags - the thought of spending my money on pics of girls instead of articles/pics that are kitesurfing related puts me off wasting my money on the mag.. Wouldn't mind so much if the girls were kitesurfers though.. with hot kitesurfing girls like Bruna Kayija out there, I don't think there is any need to put non-kitesurfing page 3 models on the cover of the mag..

Looks like she's holding in a fart

Nah she's holding in a runny one, "woops I've had a blow through"...

Are there any of the mags out there that people do rate?

haven't got my subscription yet, usually arrives a week or 2 after my local newsagent gets it in!!

week or two if your lucky

Do people really still buy magazines???

The cost of glossy mags here is shocking!

My wife keeps subscribing me to Kiteworld as a b/day or xmas pressie. I'm not gonna say it's the most amazing thing ever, but it's pretty good, especially if you like seeing different parts of the world, as they feature different countries every month. Lots of trip report type stuff. At least 4-5 full page gear reviews in every edition, sometimes 10-12 or more. They are all framed in a positive way, but they make it so you can read between the lines to see the negatives clearly. It's always thick too.

Their pics are top quality, compare the cover pics


What they aren't is Australia.

I think she's thinking,,,, "why am I on the cover of a gay magazine?"

I think KBM has it's moments and when some effort is put in it definitely comes out on top for me.

I do have to say however that both those covers (kiteworld and KBM) are pretty gash... Seriously is there even a wave in the first picture? and when is upwind hooked in boosting going to stop getting run on every page of every mag??? Oh and it would be nice if the bar wasn't in front of both of their faces... But hey, I shouldn't expect to much I guess.

I bought it today - bit slow but i reckon its good. Nice work beaver and team. good range of articles, good coverage of the country, good positive vibe, i liked the better dayz pics - better than in previous years. Cover Girl Kate is hot but so what so are loads of the kiter girls in Aus - I guess they dont want to be all sexy on a cover.
Nah i reckon its good and i'd much rather read positive editorial with good pics and fresh opinions than most of the negative dribble on this forum - seriously what is with the near impossibility of reading a thread with positive support - its all aimed at cutting down the tall poppies in the sport. Only the new groms get a fair go here. post a picture, have a pair of boobs or do alright at something and your sure to be cut down on seabreeze.
Oh well thems the breaks - nothing new. Just another observation.
I bought Kiteboarder and Im happy with my purchase.

I really don't see what everyone is carrying on about. (apart from the delivery! That's just not right. Lucky I get mine from the papershop) it's just a girl on the cover she doesn't take up much room. It's not like it's a center fold spreed (although that wouldn't be bad)

I found some of the articles good to read. (that one about the girl that got attacked buy the shark. She is a brave girl. Got balls bigger then mine to go back into the water)

Although the harness and binding guide could have been abit better (Naish and mystic arnt the only company that make harnesses) and it would have been nice to have a few more foot straps and bindings aswell.

Just my thoughts. Cheers huddy.
