Kitesurfing in Platboom and Yzerfontein, South Africa – Appletree Surfboards

Platboom and Yzerfontein are two of South Africa’s most iconic and demanding kite spots. Cold water, heavy swell, and pumping wind.

For this session, Sanka chose the Apelviken 5”2. This board was designed from the ground up specifically for lightweight riders. It features a thinner rail and a narrow tail for ultimate control in big surf, while the flatter middle section helps pushing upwind through heavy currents. A balanced all-rounder that stays snappy and responsive without needing a lot of body weight to turn.

NAISH HUNT 2026

When the section starts lining up, there’s no time to overthink. Just feel.

The 2026 Hunt is the invisible link between you and the wave. Drifting effortlessly down the line. Holding steady through carves. Staying right where you need it. No backstall. No surprises.

Blended LE construction balances rigidity and flex for lighter steering and a featherlight overall feel. Flex struts deliver quicker, more dynamic handling. SK99 bridle lines cut through water surface tension for automatic relaunch and cleaner flight through the air.

From the pocket to the green room to the closeout, it’s got your back until the wave lets you go.

Made for the section seekers. The barrel hunters. The freeriders chasing feel over force.

Movement – Malo Guénolé – Gong Galaxy

Everything is in motion. So are we. Shot across the vibrant contrasts of Taiwan, Movement follows Malo Guénolé through a world in constant flow, from dense city streets to remote beaches and raw clifflines. Between wandering and riding, the lines blur: motion becomes instinct, and instinct becomes expression.

Wing foiling, kite foiling, surf foiling, surfing, lowkite, each discipline is just another way to translate energy into motion.

This is not about escaping. It’s about following what’s already in motion, and letting it carry you.

The return to competition – Ponta Preta GKA –  – James Carew

Here we have for you all what went down in the first competition in Cape Verde. After a SOLID 3 weeks of pumping Ponta Preta and what started as a strike mission but quickly turned into a month long trip, we were gifted with pretty hard and on the rocks conditions during the competition. Never the less we fight on! Light wind never stoped a competition so the green flag went up and we battled it out. If you’ve been following the channel you know we love a challenge and that’s what we got.

This trip reignited my flame for competition and the passion is back full force. Sharing sessions and surrounding yourself with good people makes it hard not to push yourself, the people around you directly effect you and your situations so make them count!

Sketchy Kite Launch and epic wave session – Tom Court

Tom Court : Every kite session starts with a Launch, and for my solo sketchy kite sessions I almost always need to launch my own kite. There are several different ways to launch a kite and in this video I show you how I launch my kite using my rental car whilst I am on the Canary Islands, in order to kitesurf at some of the islands sketchiest spots.

Finding empty waves and riding some of the best conditions, often means that there might not be anyone else around. So this is a good technique to know!
