When I frist started reading KBM, I searched all the newsagents and I couldn't find it...selected newsagents do stock them, but only a few here in Birssy... so just go to your local surfing shop like Goodtime in Brisbane, or a similar shop in Perth that sells kitews or boards and get it there...

good reading and better winds...

I can understand that it gets hate mail. I want to read it to see kitesurfing, not how drunk everyone gets after a competition. That mag needs to accomodate all kitesurfers and not just the select crew that competes and gets plastered - I don't mean to offend this group (I am not having a go at them - just the mag)

...any way I've picked up an issue or two from the newsagent on Hay st, west perth- next to the cross walk , near all the cafes ..
and yeah they do like their 'pissing on' stories but it's a bit of a flashback, you know we were all young once. Say did I ever tell you about the time after a bottle of Jack and 14 tequila slammers I blah...blah...blah...

Well, I quite like KBM... if you don't like it then Timothy, then frankly, give it to someone else who wants it! Read whats good and ignore what you think is "hooligan behaviour"... the last issue I've got... its got heaps of great stuff on Ryan, Daz and some of the other really gr8 kiters from aussie and the world... sum great info on the new kite and board technologies such as the new ReconGen2 and cardboards, and about the new aussie companies bringing our boards, kites and clothing range... sooo.... just don't read the other parts if u don't want to... or.... don't say harsh comments about something you might find innapropriate and others might find okay... I may be young (18), and you would think I would fine it all okay, but some things I don't... others are just plain funny and yeah may be rude.. but laugh now n again mate ... and some of the things they say a bit innapropriate, but it's life... you just ignore it and go about ur way... that's what I do... cheers... thats my little bit thats all...

Good winds all and hope they get better

yep great to see some wello locals getting coverage. was chuffed to see daz in there this month - the guy certainly does rip. top stuff!

you know kmart at sunnybank elizabeth? the newsagents inside that centre usually stocks a range of kite mags...

Yeah thats another thing i was impressed with... Local guys getting a bit of exposure...
and Kurt, i didnt know you rode for liquid force? i thought you used best kites?

LOL you looked pretty good to me that day you were out on ur 10m best. lol from in between my little drags underwater anyways!

Hey Guys what would happen if i bought something like 20m? i weigh 65kgs... would it be a quick way end up having a chat to the oldies in Eventide?

lol! i take it that low tide is so i end up on the mud rather than the old peeps home?

i got a newish kite on friday... its an early 04 Nemesis 12m. Still get me going in 12? or should i keep the old slingy?

Ok 16 it is... whos got a cheap one :-D

I have never read one magazine in mylife I just look at the pictures

The best part of KBM are the ads. They are the most informative part of the magazine. I have competed in pole competitions in NSW and the stuff people get upto is the same as kite comps. But i would disagree with most peoples comments about showing the lifetsyle of the young and famous, as being informative to the kiting public. Even these guys that compete want to see photos of themselves kiting, not pissing all over the place, and acting like teenagers.

I am sure sponsors are using these photos of drunk and stupidness to include in their latest catalogue for the new seasons range of kites!!

hilarious azza!

I got the mag now after a little bit of talking about it.. If your in Brissy and don't want 2 go to travel to Goodtime - (Gr8 shop tho), at Garden City, the newsagent near Coles on the bottom level has it... i got mine there... or as Mark said, K-Mark at Sunnybank the newsagent there ... score... reading 2 do, and sweet pictures of students also...later guys...

good winds

i actually find all the overseas mags boring. too much ads and sh!t. KBM is by far the best mag an d it keeps ya up to date with whats going on in ya backyard

i was working at moomba last year and found a copy of KBM at the local servo couldn't believe i could be so far from the ocean and they still stocked a kiteboarding magazine but then again there is a surf shop in Mt isa
