About this organization
SBC Kiteboard was North America's pioneering kite magazine, created by John Bryja. It is no longer published: by 2015 its subscriber and digital assets had been folded into Kitesurfing Magazine, which Bryja also founded, and that title carries the line forward. Kitesurfing Magazine's own About page is the source for both the succession and Bryja's role in it. Beyond that the paper trail is thin. A founding year, a publishing house and an official current address are not documented anywhere we can cite, so this profile states none of them. What is worth recording is the position the magazine held. Before kiteboarding had a press of its own in North America, SBC Kiteboard was it, and every Canadian and American kite title that followed came after it.
Primary market: North America
Why this profile is here
This is a historical entry and it says so. It is kept because the title it turned into is also in this directory, and a succession with one half missing is worse than no entry at all. If a reader can document the founding year or the publisher, the suggest-an-edit button is right there.
