TheKiteMag
About this organization
TheKiteMag is an internationally distributed kiteboarding magazine that combines written and photo journalism. Its publisher, Water Born Media, says the title launched in 2014, calls it the widest-circulated magazine in its field, and has also published Foiling Magazine since 2019. The print run is five glossy issues a year, with digital editions through Zinio and in-app, and the site runs localised editions in several languages. Subscription pages and 2025-dated content show the schedule is being kept. The tone is closer to a photo book than a news site. Features are long, the images get room, and gear coverage tends to arrive as a considered test rather than a launch bulletin. If you want to know what came out this week, look elsewhere; if you want a magazine that is still worth reading in five years, this is the one the print format still suits.
