SurferToday
Porto, Portugal
About this organization
SurferToday.com covers wave, water and board sports: surfing, skateboarding, bodyboarding, kiteboarding, windsurfing and skimboarding. Its About page states that it was founded in Porto, Portugal on 12 September 2007 by Luis F. M. Pinto, and that it won the 2008 ZON Multimedia Award. The kiteboarding section is edited independently of the rest and is substantial in its own right. It runs competition news — King of the Air, the GKA tour, Megaloop — alongside safety writing, sport history and gear explainers. Being multi-sport changes the angle. A kite story on SurferToday is usually written so a windsurfer or a surfer can follow it, which makes the site a reasonable place to send somebody who is curious about kiting but does not have the vocabulary yet. Publication dates and bylines are on the articles.
Primary market: International
Why this profile is here
Portuguese roots and a genuinely separate kite desk are why this one is listed here and not filed under general surf media. It is also the outlet we point people to when they want the history of a discipline written in plain language. Coverage stays on their site; we link to it.
