Upwind - the launch of a sport (our sport!)

Kickin' it old school...
Ever wondered how it all started? Upwind - The Launch of a Sport has just been released for free online, and it's an absolute must see for any kiter. 

'Upwind' takes us on a ride with Robby Naish, Pete Cabrinha and Flash Austin amongst others, all of which played a critical role in shaping the sport we know and love today. Narrated by all the above guys, the movie goes from the very early days back in the 1980's when it couldn't even really be called a sport. Now, it's huge and literally anyone can do it. 

It's actually quite an old movie, which was available for a short time on DVD. But for the last few years it's been extremely hard to find. It's re-release has once again been welcomed by kiters as 'a must see for any kiteboarder', but don't take our word for it, watch it yourself!
