HUNT – TEAM VIDEO – Naish Kiteboarding

The Hunt follows Robby Naish, Tim Walsh, Alexander Lewis Hughes, Peri Roberts and John Roberts across Maui and the Australian coastline – east and west – in pursuit of waves.

No guarantees. Just the search. An ode to the obsession that drives surfers out the door, onto the road, and into the water.

The pull. The hunger. The need for surf that lives in every surfer’s blood, wherever that may be.

10 Days of SCORING – James Carew

10 Days with James Carew | Portugal to Ireland

From pumping Portugal to heavy Irish slabs, we packed 10 days full of everything the Atlantic had to offer. Chasing forecasts across two countries, really shows how much more you can score when you mix kiting and surfing together. it doesn’t always line up but when it does it’s unreal.

Portugal served up the wind and Ireland turned it gnarly, and MASSIVE.

Constant windguru update checks and a whole lot of miles in between.

Thanks to everyone who makes trips like this possible! This is what we LOVE. Let us know in the comments which section was your favourite!

CORE NXS – Allround kite presentation

Familiar character. Noticeably more performance. Twintip, surfboard or foil – the NXS is built for riders who refuse to choose just one discipline and demand strong performance in all conditions.

The NXS combines key characteristics from several CORE models. Elements from the Nexus, Pace, Section and Xlite come together in a kite that stands on its own. The result is a design that intentionally bridges disciplines and performs exactly where they intersect.

Compared to the Nexus, the NXS delivers noticeably stronger boosting performance with clean, controlled landings, while fully retaining its playful all-round character. At the same time, it offers greater agility and improved drift than the more performance-oriented Pace, making it equally at home in waves and on a foil. Smooth power delivery and high control in demanding conditions complete the package.
