Welcome dear kitesurfer! This is a kitesurfing-related website containing spot-reviews, news, kitesurfing stories, buying guides and much more. It does not matter if you are ride wakestyle, freestyle, waves, “dingel-dangel”, or just chilling, you will all find something to read on this site (I hope). The kiteboard blog is a place where I can write everything I want about kiteboarding, and share my thoughts about this awesome sport and lifestyle.
Best regards, Jonathan (site Admin)

I try to travel to kite spots as often as possible with my wife (she has a kitesurfing blog as well, but in Swedish). The sport or lifestyle kitesurfing never stops fascinating me, and I often want to write down everything I see, so a kiteboard blog was really needed for me. I just regret that I did not make it earlier. I have much memories from the days living on the west coast of Finland, where all the big beaches are located, that would fit very good in a kiteboard blog. Who knows, maybe I add the stories some day.
There are some reasons. First: I have friends in at least three languages, Swedish, Finnish, and English. English is the only language all of the people knows. Second, I like to compete. I like to compete with the big kiteboard websites about the visitors. And for reaching such a big audience as possible, you have to write in English. Now enjoy the kiteboard blog!
The winter at the northern hemisphere is now just a memory, the sun is melting the snow, water is dripping from the roofs, there is romance in the air, bums and beggers are crawling out from their hideouts, and big water kitesurfing is up again in our amazing waves in Finland… Who the heck am [...]
I was with Lina in Thailand, Indonesia and Boracay, Philippines during the winter 2013. We kitesurfed almost every day for three months, and attended KTA in PranBuri in Thailand. Here is a short video of Lina kitesurfing there. Lina kitesurfing in Thailand and Boracay 2013 from Lina Björkskog on Vimeo Spots in the kitesurfing video [...]

The kitesboard tour asia stop in Pranburi, Thailand, has now ended. The fishing-village Pranburi is now calm again, and the kitesurfing action and party is moving to Boracay for the next stop. It has been 5 amazing days of action, and here are all the five videos from the event Videos from Kitesurfing Tour Asia [...]
Matchu has some real skills when it comes to riding waves with a kite, and he is not afraid to prove it in this kitesurfing video from Cape Verde islands, called Home. Kitesurfing video by Matchu on Cape Verde Matchu is getting some training for the KSP 2013 season. I think he is one to watch 2013!
As you see it the headline, the professional kiteboard tour PKRA is starting again, 2013 edition. There are some new things to note, a new scoring system for Freestyle, new riders, but most important, wave-riding is now featured in PKRA. Keep an eye on these things in PKRA 2013 Wave-riding is in PKRA now. And [...]
Kitesurfing in Bali. Yes you read the headline right. You can actually kitesurf at some spots in the well-known surf-country Bali. But not always, and not everywhere. Anyway, check the story! First some spoiling of your Bali-dream: Oh Bali Bali, the awesome surf- and get-yourself-together-and-find-inner-piece-location of the world. Is all bullshit. Bali is crowded, filled [...]
This is gold! Here can be found a lot of the kitesurfing terminology out there! Check the movie “shit kitesurfers say“! Some examples of kitesurfing terminology: How big kites are people riding today? This is the best kite on the market My kite pulls really hard (My kite pulls like a truck) Can you give [...]
Have you ever wanted to go to a lonely small island in the middle of the ocean where you cannot see land in any direction? And just chill, kitesurf, have barbecues, kitesurf, and sleep? I bet you have, and if you are in the Philippines, there is a way of doing all this, by going [...]
Okay, this is weird. Here at Boracay you can find a type of ant that crawls into the bladder of your kite and eats the rubber from inside. And when you pump the kite, there are hundreds of holes. When you fix 117 holes, and everything works, you put the kite back, and there is [...]
