Photo M’Leigha Lange Photo: Brad Lange Out of a Cage Four shades of electric blue water in the middle of the Caribbean. I was kiteboard- ing on a soul trip with a few friends. Usually I am the one shooting photos in places like this, but this particular trip wasn t about work. Brad Lange, soon to be pub- lisher, was standing on our guide boat taking some shots of me and Andy Hurdman for the memory album. Andy was doing insane kite loops and I was doing my best to copy him along the leeward side of this remote sand island. This was one of those moments that sticks in your mind until you are resting in your grave. We had flown down to an Archipelago island chain in the middle of nowhere. There were no cars, cell phones and most of the people didn t speak English. We char- tered a fishing boat to play water taxi, helping us explore this tropical wonderland. Every morning we sipped strong South American coffee and mapped out our day s Subscribe adventure. Every night we would drink Moheto s and embellish the stories of car- nage and accomplishments. To order, go to www.kbmag.com As our little plane departed the postage stamp runway, something had changed One Full Year(6 issues) for $19.97 inside of me. Maybe it was the tranquil blue water that surrounded us or perhaps the fact that my friends wouldn t allow me to work on this trip. We clocked more than thirty hours of water time and ate and drank like royalty. Somewhere between that small island chain and the mainland I came to a realization. I had almost passed up this trip because I was so busy. My mind started racing as I tried to imagine what I would have been doing if I wouldn t have gone on this trip. I definitely wouldn t have learned those front roll kite loops. I probably wouldn t have stepped on that urchin. My arms surely would- n t feel like noodles after a week of solid riding, and I know that I wouldn t have had that life changing moment of clarity that dream trips can do for you. As our plane landed on the tarmac in Miami, it was back to reality. The last seven days gave me a chance to refocus and energized me to make some necessary changes in my life. So let this be a lesson to all of us. Next time your friends ask you to go on trip and you think you are too busy, make the time. Life is short and precious and you never know - that trip might end up changing your life. NEW for 2005 Back by popular demand.

Brad Lange, Publisher/Photographer “The Kiteboarder Magazine” LAUNCH...the making of Summary: On a typical breezy Florida Keys afternoon, Hamish Macdonald, Brad Lange, Ryan Riccitelli and Paul Caswell decided to break the monotony by constructing one of the biggest gap sliders ever to be hit in kiteboarding. Hamish, known for his fearless approach to kiteboarding committed Hamish broke his favorite Hamish wrecks himself. Photo Ryan Riccitelli himself to be the test monkey in this experiment.

Photo Ryan Riccitelli pass, he almost came up short on the gap and snapped his board yet still managed to slide all the picnic tables and the gang plank. After about an hour he was nailing the gap and pulling handle pass threes. Just as his confidence exceeded him, he caught an edge on a barnacle ridden gang plank, smacked his head and exfoliated his back thus ending this great day of kiteboarding. Facts: No, we don t recommend stupid stunts like this, but Hamish is a professional rider and volunteered to do it for some sick photos. Yes, we know he should have been wearing a helmet, but Hamish didn t want to. His choice ultimately. Yes, we know he was riding without a leash, but we planned ahead and had experienced spotters on the beach in case it got away. Hamish wrecking himself from another angle.

Dies lässt sich schon nur an der Anzahl Kite Schulen aufzeigen, die jährlich wie Pilze aus dem Boden schiessen. Die klimatischen Bedingungen auf Kuba sind prädestiniert zum Kite Surfen und das Nachfragepotenzial, insbesondere in Varadero ist viel versprechend. Ursprünglich sollte diese Diplomarbeit der Frage nachgehen, wie man eine Kite Surf Schule auf Kuba eröffnet und erfolgreich betreibt. Aber durch die standortbedingten Schwierigkeiten auf Kuba wurde aus dem ursprünglich geplanten Businessplan ein gewagter Spagat zwischen einem Businessplan und einer Machbarkeitsstudie. Der Businessplan wurde absichtlich möglichst allgemein gehalten, damit das Konzept der Kite Schule bei Bedarf auch auf eine andere Destination angepasst werden kann. Résumé Le kite surf est un nouveau sport de mode qui attire de plus en plus de gents dans le monde entier. Ca on remarque déjà dans le nombre de nouvelles écoles de Kite qui ouvrent leurs portes chaque année. Les conditions climatiques à Cuba sont prédestinées pour pratiquer le kite surf. Le potentiel de la demande, surtout à Varadero est immense. A l’origine ce travail de diplôme aurait dû s’occuper de la question, comment ouvrir et gérer avec succès une école de kite surf à Cuba.
