Just post in this topic telling us what you liked about Kitemag Issue #4, or what else you want to see in there!
Comp Details: Win one of three pairs of Dirty Dog Sunglasses with Extreme Kites and Kitemag!

Hey Joel,
Thanks for putting this up.
We are really proud of this last issue and are continuing to recieve heaps of subscribers and interest from around Australia.
I think that this is enough proof that there is demand for a quality kite magazine that acurately represents the sport that so many of us are passionate about.
To all of you who have been in Kite Mag over the last 12 months, we thank you for your stories and energy that has propelled our magazine to do better and better.
I now ask all of you to sign up to Extreme Kites forum and stay here to chat about our sport.
I think that you can all agree that this is now Australia's best kite sports forum and kite sports website.
To the entire team at Extreme Kites, thank you for your support and congratulations on successful relaunch.
The bar has been raised again, as it should be.

i got i i got it!!! thanks kitemag!!!

Does being a current member of XK count for the sunnies?

The new Mag looks great Kitemag has come along way since the first edition keep up the great work.
The Fecal stories are awesome

Received and already passed it around the house for everyone else to have a read.
Great mag with some great photography!

A couple of points came up during reading though...
1. PFD's? Are they now a legal requirement or just 'an essential piece of kit'?
2. I think you should have printed 'DON'T WEAR A BOARD LEASH' in larger font on page 35.

Oh, and lastly...

Can you please stop publishing articles about locations with gloriously white beaches, crystal blue water and smooth consistant winds. It's making your readers depressed about their local conditions.

this issue was a great read and especially the Fiji article.
Fiji and Safari Lodge are a big part of my kiting year, having been going there since 2004.

We have watched it grow and The last 2 weeks of August each year is when I take a group there for a brilliant packaged Kiting holiday.

In Fact many of the outer reef kiting spots and downwinders were pioneered by myself and warren. some of the best spots were found by accident on the big Village to Lodge downwinders (6hrs) and some of those I finished in the dark with only the porch light of Safari lodge to guide me as I rounded the last headland into the home bay.

Keep up the good work Kite mag.

Thanks for your comments.
Just to Clarify.
It is not yet mandatory to wear a PFD.
However, Marine Safety Victoria strongly recommend that they are worn.
Sunglasses, anyone can enter. It doesnt matter if you are a current or new member to Extreme Kites.
Thank you again for your feedback.


Ohh Fecal....your stories are shit
Just kidding mate, cant wait to read the next one!

Just had a quick flick through my copy of kitemag looking better and better all the time now it just needs more land kiting stories

Thanks for the email, looks like a great website to accompany a great mag. Keep it up.

Being a land crab, I'd like to see more land based kiting action, but it's always good to get free kite mags!!!

Hey landcrabs,
Send your stories through!
I want to know who the fastest landcrab in oz is.
seriously, i would love more content from land kite community and believe it only enhances my mag.
Contact me or Joel and we will make it happen for Kite Mag 5

You could always do a write up on the stupid things drunken kiters do at night

Give me an example. As long as animals dont get hurt I'm happy

The link was in red but I will make it easier check this thread

kewl another great comp from EK (hint hint eye need new ones as my old glasses died) and a great read too and i'v put in a couple of storys one was in n0 3 mag and the other must be for a later date keep it going kite mag

Kite mag eh? So all I have to do is post up something about what I think of the magazine huh, and it's a random draw.
Well I don't know the mag, never laid eyes on it before, havn't a clue, so I have it's probably good, lots of sucking up going on.

Actually no, I tell a lie, I have a copy downstairs someplace, predominantly kitesurfing. i bought an issue for the graphics and nothing else.
They've got good artists working for them - was a source of inspiration at the time.

I know the specs tho, Dirty dog sunnies are also on some bike sites. Here's a bug in your eye

without having to suck up to anyone or anything - works for me.

Or you could be less of an arse (I know that's difficult) and provide some feedback so George can take this on board to improve the next issue.
I guess the competition just got a little less random.

So, you're saying it's not a random out of the hat then Sinbad??
Just for your benefit, Sinbad and for George, I actually remembered my copy of Kite Mag, for the edited reasons above.
For other readers, the horses ass reference was part of my original message and you can read some of it above.
