We had a great week in Shippagan Canada we headed south back into the US for our first stop in Rhode Island. We based ourselves in Newport and took the ferry across to Block Island, where we were demoing new kites with Nick at Diamond Blue Kiteboarding. We were impressed with the variety of spots [...]

After our first demo in Kingston we headed a few hours north into Montreal. Unfortunately, the weekend’s forecast was not calling for any wind, but we had some people come out to check out the kites and enjoy the warm weather. Oka was our first stop in this area, and it was located at a [...]

We finally made it into Zambia, a landlocked country in the middle of Africa, which was once was the poorest nation in the world. This area is sparsely populated and after a few hours of only passing a couple tiny mud huts our fuel gauge was reading empty. We just made it to the next [...]
