Kiteboard blog

Welcome dear kitesurfer! This is a kitesurfing-related website containing spot-reviews, 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)

More details about the kiteboard blog

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.

Why am I writing the kiteboard blog in English?

There are some reasons. One: I have friends in three languages, Swedish, Finnish, and English. English is the only language all of the people knows. Two: I do not speak Finnish good enough for staying motivated to write a whole blog in that language. Three: My wife writes in Swedish. I do not want to compete against her. Four: 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. I guess I could go on and come up with more reasons, But you got it already. Now enjoy the kiteboard blog!
