Kitesurfing Magazine
About this organization
Kitesurfing Magazine presents itself as North America's leading kiteboarding publication. Its About page credits John Bryja, who created SBC Kiteboard, traces the roots of the title to 2000, and says that in 2015 it took over the subscriber and digital assets of both magazines. The publisher is listed as Kitesurfing Magazine Inc. Since that consolidation it has been web-first. The editorial mix is long gear reviews, travel guides, instruction and news, with interviews of professional riders running through it. The North American focus shows up in the details: reviews weigh conditions and pricing on that side of the Atlantic, and the travel writing leans towards destinations reachable from US and Canadian airports. Anyone tracing the history of kite media in North America ends up here, because this is where the SBC Kiteboard line continues.
