Pauline Viardot-García was one of the most fascinating, most versatile and influential musicians of the 19th century.
She was born in 1821 as a daughter of the Spanish tenor Manuel García in Paris. Her older sister was the famous soprano Maria Malibran.
Pauline got an initial training as a pianist (i.a. by Franz Liszt), but is educated to a prima donna of the opera stage after her sister's death in 1836.
1839 she debuts in London and begins an amazing career in opera.
1840 she married the theater director Louis Viardot.
1843 in concert tours through Germany, Italy and Russia she met the poet Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev - the beginning of a long friendship.
The Viardots led an exciting life, built up a popular salon in Paris and found time for four children.
For political reasons, the family decides to move to Germany - to Baden-Baden.
In the "summer capital of Europe" of the 19th century Paulines friend Clara Schumann has already settled. In summer 1863 they moved into their new home in today Fremersbergstraße. A little time later, even Turgenev followed, who acquires the neighborly land.
In Baden-Baden their musical salon developed into a cultural center, where artists, princes and kings shook hands.
Alongside Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms, who are resident in Baden-Baden at the same time, numerous concerts took place.
At the outbreak of the Franco-German War in 1870 the family Viardot is forced to leave Germany.
When the Viardots have settled in Paris, a short time after even the friend Turgenev moved to Paris.
1883 both her husband as well as Turgenev become diseased and die in the same year.
Pauline Viardot still kept in company with artists and participates in the Parisian concert life.
She died in 1910 in Paris.
The bust Pauline Viardot´s in Baden-Baden is close to the city museum.

Beautiful and versatile nuno felt wrap/skirt felted from hand dyed fabrics and fibres. The silks and silk/cotton fabric was dyed by the amazing Merridee Smith and the fibre by Lori Simoni in Loomis, CA. This piece was felted as an experiment using methods which I will be writing about in my new book with Chrissie Day to be published some time in late November! www.clasheen.wordpress.com/

Passed at 93.
Throughout his career, Mr. Wexler was noted for his versatile and intuitive approach. His 1969 "Medium Cool" mixed documentary and dramatic elements, telling the story of a fictional television photographer who covers the violence between Chicago police and protesters at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The real-life unrest was filmed on the spot for the movie, and its "cinema verite" approach was closely studied by aspiring filmmakers.
"I was under surveillance for the entire seven weeks I was in Chicago," Mr. Wexler told a reporter.
For "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," the last film to receive an Oscar for best black and white cinematography, he used handheld cameras to capture the tension of the tirades between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. For "In the Heat of the Night," he put silks over the tops of sets and aimed lights at their centers. His intent was to contribute to the tension between Poitier's big-city detective and Steiger's Southern white lawman.
As visual consultant on George Lucas' "American Graffiti," he hosed down the streets to achieve a moody, reflective style. He helped give Terence Malick's "Days of Heaven" a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.
At age 12, he recorded his family's vacation in Mussolini's Italy with an 8mm camera.
Mr. Wexler was judged to be one of film history's ten most influential cinematographers in a survey of the members of the International Cinematographers Guild.
His film work also includes: Hoodlum Priest, The Thomas Crown Affair, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Days of Heaven, The Man Who Loved Women, Matewan, Blaze, The Babe, Mulholland Falls, and The Trial of the Catonsville Nine.

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external hard drive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.
Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... Thanks in advance!
You may imagine him chained to his view camera, but "well-known pro Ansel Adams" was in reality a bit of a gear hound like the rest of us. Here he's taken up the Hasselblad 500C just a year after its introduction. (Also, remember he was an official advisor to Polaroid and wrote books about it.)
He had a long relationship with Zeiss products—shooting this famous 1937 image with a handheld Contax. I can't find the reference, but the Super Ikonta B he picked up was "commandeered" by his wife Virginia for family photos. But especially in later years, the Hasselblad seems to have been his regular (lift-able) companion, used for the graffiti image from his 80th year which closes his book Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs.
Beautiful and versatile nuno felt wrap/skirt felted from hand dyed fabrics and fibres. The silks and silk/cotton fabric was dyed by the amazing Merridee Smith and the fibre by Lori Simoni in Loomis, CA.

A Versatile & Dynamic Facility
Athletes & casual fitness enthusiasts alike will benefit from this proposed 135,000 SF Field House Addition. The dynamic facility is designed to host multiple events at the same time. This means that students in activities such as track, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, dance, football, cheerleading and aerobics will compete in their sport rather than with each other for facility space.
Overlooking the Field House will be a 9,000 SF Fitness Facility, featuring state of the art cardio and training equipment.
The 30,000 SF synthetic turf Auxiliary Gym will extend the season for a variety of field sports, promising the Vikings an elite-level, competitive edge.
Connecting to the Campus
The High School is set on a picturesque, park like setting complete with trees, a pond and a sculpture garden. The stone accents and natural features influence the design of the new Sports & Rec Center. The atrium will consolidate entry for the entire building making it a defining feature of the campus.
The Viking’s brand personality and colors are being incorporated throughout.
A Gold Standard
With an eye towards life-cycle cost savings, the new facility will be energy and resource efficient.
The design is LEED Registered with a certification goal of Gold. This high standard will be accomplished by incorporating a mix of energy saving features such as high efficiency lighting, daylight harvesting, carefully designed mechanical systems and occupancy sensors. Along with great views, the facility will provide a high indoor air quality and will exhibit improved interior acoustics, all contributing to a healthy and enhanced learning environment for students, teachers and staff.
Controls will be provided to allow for individual adjustment of thermal comfort and lighting in regularly occupied spaces. The combination of skylights, perimeter windows, light sensors and energy efficient light fixtures will allow the facility to be lit naturally during the day and gradually transition to the light fixtures as it gets darker. .

The versatility of the Lockheed Constellation airframe led to a number of modifications done by both the US Navy and the USAF, which generally shared the same EC-121 designation despite their different roles. Navy aircraft included the WV-2Q (EC-121M) electronic intelligence and WV-3 (WC-121N) weather reconnaissance aircraft. These lacked the radar domes of the WV-2/EC-121K and, in the case of the EC-121M, flew clandestine missions along the borders of the Eastern Bloc.
The USAF also modified a small number of Constellations into specialized variants, mostly testbeds identical to the standard EC-121D that tested the QRC-248 (“Quick Look”) and Rivet Gym (EC-121M) setups. Four were also briefly modified during the Cuban Missile Crisis as EC-121Q Gold Diggers, which tracked U-2 missions over Cuba. The largest number of modified Constellations, however, was the EC-121R, codenamed Batcat. Classified until the early 1980s, Batcat EC-121s were ex-Navy WV-2s and WV-3s supplied to the USAF and stripped off their radar domes. 25 Batcats were sent to Thailand, flying with the 553rd Reconnaissance Wing at Korat RTAFB, Thailand. Batcat’s role was to monitor and coordinate Operation Igloo White, the electronic surveillance of the Ho Chi Minh Trail from North Vietnam, through Laos and Cambodia, to the South.
Igloo White was the brainchild of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, who envisioned an “electronic fence” around South Vietnam, which would save on manpower (and money). Using sensors dropped by USAF and US Navy aircraft, the sensors would bury themselves in the ground around known traffic points along the Trail. These sensors would then detect truck traffic and other manmade sounds, relay the signals to Batcats on station, which in turn would relay them to American forward air controllers, who would call in airstrikes.
While Igloo White had its uses and was on occasion very successful, halting Trail traffic was more effectively done by the FACs themselves or by US/South Vietnamese Special Forces on the Trail itself. Batcat missions lasted eighteen hours, requiring the aircraft to have better air conditioning than the standard EC-121. The project was wound down with the American pullout beginning in 1970, with the Batcats supplemented by QU-22 “Baby Bat” two-man aircraft, and ended for good in December 1971. Two Batcats were lost in fatal accidents during the war; the 28 survivors were later scrapped.
The EC-121R can be instantly identified not only by its lack of radar domes, but also its Southeast Asia camouflage of two shades of green and brown over white; Batcats were the only Constellations to receive camouflage schemes. Due to its clandestine nature, recognition markings on Batcats was limited to its bureau number on the tail.

I had to pick one of the Ophrydium versatile "blobs" up and spotted a little creature crawling in it. I have no idea what it was and could only imagine it crawling onto me.....which had about as much appeal as when the leech had bitten me on the foot. I'm not too squeamish but I do have limits :)
Compositionally Challenged: June's most versatile - lines

Active Assignment Weekly: Nothing
I chose this assignment to challenge myself as well, not just you guys. I did a lot of thinking and looked at a lot of photos. Some of my concepts were impractical, or too time consuming (I am a very lazy photographer). I saw a photo, though, when I did a Flickr search for 'nothing'. It really appealed to me and it seemed quite easily achievable and I have put the link in the comments for reference. That photo was the inspiration for this photo.
What it took: My husband and I were going home on the streetcar (tram) and as we went through the underpass (subway) I noticed the incredible light and shadows, the silhouettes, the stripes, it was all quite dazzling. I've never seen the underpass look like that before. Or maybe I just never noticed? So we got off the streetcar. I took so many photos, of people, cars, lines, shapes, from the entrance, from both sidewalks... The photos all came out great. This one is the one I feel is the closest representation of what I was trying to capture - an interesting photographic nothingness and, unlike the inspiration photo, no real subject, just impressions. I've cropped the photo to get rid of two people and a car. Two people remain. The dark areas have been made darker. Being such an Ernst Haas fan, I saturated the colours a bit as well. That's it.
ƒ/7.1, 1/160, ISO100, 18-55mm lens, Nikon D5300. 12.28pm on 2 June, Dufferin underpass on Queen Street West, Toronto, Canada.
Quality is good - zoom in or go Large (press the L key) to see each pic nicely. Just like Linda's but hers are more artistic :-)
I thought that the photos in the Versatile challenge weren't getting their share of the fun. Flickr only pushes threads (discussions) to the top when it senses a new post. Because in this challenge we build up our post over the month, it only gets a showing on the days a new post is started.
I asked Linda if I could do a 'Versatile' montage. On saying yes I set to to have a go. This is pure DIY. A blank file, with downloaded files placed individually into place, saved, and titles added. The photos were different sizes so I shrunk them to make them all the same height - 500 pixels. This is my fourth go/version of the montage.
One photo per challenge (the challenge is to take a photo for each of the 10 subjects each month) - and at least one photo from everyones post.
Once I got this one finished and more or less presentable, I tried using the Photoshop E13 collage - a pathetic app. They probably sell better ones in their app store, but there is only the one in the program.
I tried the Picasa collage and it is also pathetic. I couldn't change the order - it worked the first time, but never again after that. I have a very low boredom threshold, and the computer is just this side of the bin. Grrrrr.

The thrill of the wind catching your kite—and that rush as it lifts you up over the breakers—is one you’ll never forget!
Riding the swells with a good headwind and knowing you’re safely harnessed-in can give you such a buzz, as you practice your jumps and turns. Sound familiar? If you’re also a wind junkie, you know that the gear’s performance makes all the difference in this sport.
Keep reading for a review covering the best kitesurfing kites on the market, looking at how they fare against the competition. Whether you’re a fan of all-around kites or want a specialty model for niche moves, we break down the features of each to help you decide which one might work best for you.
Best All-Around: North Reach
Durable, versatile, and easy-to-use, this high-performance kite is perfect.
Check Latest Price
What we like
Incredibly easy to maneuver and use
Stable and won’t toss you around the water
Easy on the elbows and knees
What we don’t like
A bit pricey
Not necessarily the best choice for a first-time user
The North Reach Performance Freeride is the best freeride kite available on the market. With an abundance of features and superbly-smooth handling, this kite seamlessly does what you want and goes where you take it. We love the Performance Freeride’s solid-yet-lightweight construction, which doubles its response time and effectiveness while it increases its value.
The webbing on this kite’s three struts boosts the kite’s strength, but the pads and reinforcements on the seams don’t weigh the kite down. Additionally, the Performance Freeride’s bridle has medium-to-light bar pressure, which is easier on the arms and lets you enjoy a longer ride.
The North Reach Performance Freeride kite is fun, playful, and reacts beautifully to your touch. One of the kite’s best features is its stability, which is due to the shape of its edges and swept-back wingtip. It helps you establish a firm connection to your kite.
High-Performance, Smooth Ride
Dubbed the best desert-island kite, you’ll never need another kite when you have the Performance Freeride. It is the King of Kitesurfing Kites and deserves the title of “Best All-Around” because it is the ultimate performer in any wind condition.
The kite has impeccable reaction time and maneuvering options. It is a breeze to get out of the water and relaunch, and you can easily steer and maneuver it as it rises with the wind.
The North Reach Performance Freeride is the kite that works for all kiteboarders and lets you fine-tune your method. It comes in yellow, red, and blue, and sizes range from 0.3m to 17m. Powerful, efficient, and accommodating, this kite is sure to please even the most discerning of kiteboarders. It gives you that extra boost, whether you’re into big loops or freestyle tricks.
Runner-Up Best All-Around: Cabrinha Switchblade
May be an old-timer, but still one of the smoothest and most durable all-around kites in the market.
Check Latest Price
What we like
User-friendly no matter what your experience is
Stable, durable, and versatile
Reliable for years, a trusted brand
What we don’t like
Not the fastest kite out there
Not as responsive to rider input, making it better for beginners than pros
The Cabrinha name is synonymous with quality and performance, and the Switchblade is among its best-known models. While The Switchblade is certainly not a newcomer, its consistent upgrades and spectacular performance makes it feel like a new kite with every launch. The Switchblade is such a high-performer that, frankly, not much needs improvement. This brand was once the benchmark standard for all-around kites.
The kite combines performance with ease-of-use and balance. You can rely on the Switchblade when unexpected weather hits and when you need a strong kite to weather the elements. The kite’s balance is next-to-none in the industry and provides on-demand power delivery. If you’re a big air and loop enthusiast, the Switchblade offers an impressive boost and great hangtime while letting you stay in control.
Fun and Functional
The nano ripstop technology ensures that your kite weathers the strong ocean winds and keeps up with your pace and technique. And as the years go by, the Cabrinha Switchblade keeps getting progressively lighter and more durable. This kite helps you create remarkable loops, transitions, back loops, and down loops. The 2019 upgrades incorporated strut enhancement, and the bar offers medium pressure and wide range.
The Cabrinha Switchblade grows with you and evolves with your style. It has some of the industry’s most massive wind ranges, sitting far-forward with a strong and steady upwind drive. Less aggressive than other kites, you can still get the pops and progressions you seek without needing to maneuver it excessively.
This kite is your friend on the seas and the perfect kite to grow with you. We’re sure that you’ll love how versatile, smooth, and durable it is.
Best Freeride: Naish Pivot
This two-time King of the Air champion kite hits the mark in more ways than one, allowing you to fly through the air and glide between the waters.
Check Latest Price
What we like
Professional capabilities and design
Fantastic pull and an overall light feel
Beautiful maneuverability, always where you expect it to be
What we don’t like
Stays bulky after deflation, and its bag could feel too tight-fitting
The Naish Pivot is the best kite for freestyling, allowing you to bring out your creativity and unique style with its versatility and strength. The larger wingtip charges your turns with power, allowing for better looping, higher stability, and meeting heavy gusts of wind head-on.
The Naish Pivot is a kite for the performers at heart and the ones who go for the gold. If you want to test how far you can go and the boundaries of your endurance, this is the kite that lets you do so without hassle. With the Naish Pivot, you get to perform jaw-dropping loops, jumps, and turns to your heart’s content.
This kite works for professional-grade championships and handles wind speeds of up to 40 mph with grace. Its unique shape creates a powerful downwind pull and helps with drift. The tighter pinch also increases its stability, and the frame is stable and durable.
High-Intensity Performance
The Naish Pivot won’t stay down, so it allows you to perform an easy relaunch. This model is the perfect kite for loops and jumps, with powerful reinforcements that keep it firm and steady.
Its newer models finally got rid of the octopus inflation system. It now has an easier-to-manage external sherlock system that makes it simple to perform repairs. Easy to inflate and deflate, this kite has a 10.5 psi, which is more than most models in the industry.
The kite keeps its shape, and it is easy to get back up going for the relaunch. Its steering capabilities are top-notch. The kite’s design disperses the air throughout the kite, which creates that smooth and steady glide. The kite is excellent for performing old-school tricks, but it yields some of the most impressive loops and tricks when it’s in the hands of experienced riders.
Best Freestyle: Cabrinha FX
Potent steering, ultra-durable, and made for tacking the seas, this is the kite that places you at the helm.
Check Latest Price
What we like
Acts as an extension to your body
Very receptive to your movements
Allows to reach show-stopping heights and perform complex techniques and tricks
What we don’t like
Could improve with a smoother jump experience
Is not the best kite model for drifting and foil
The Cabrinha FX is one of the more well-known kites in crossover freestyle. Made for high-powered performance and rough handling, this kite keeps you in control when your adrenaline levels go on overdrive. The FX doesn’t compromise on stability but encourages you to work with its features and controls. The kite is best for an aggressive rider and offers mind-boggling turn speeds and jumps that require skill, experience, and precision.
This kite features a ripstop canopy that provides excellent protection against high winds and rough waters. Durable and stable, the latest model release offers two times the strength of previous models but maintains the same weight and size.
Giving Experiences Even to the Experienced
Although the FX has dominated the crossover category, it’s not suitable for beginners. Newer or less-experienced users will need more time to learn how to control the kite due to its smaller wind range. If you don’t plan on performing aggressive jumps, loops, or turns, another kite would be a better option.
If you are not at the appropriate skill level, you may find it challenging to ride upwind with the Cabrinha FX kite. Its responsiveness best accommodates kiters who want to be more involved in their ride. In other words, this kite doesn’t have the “auto-pilot” feel but instead attunes to the rider.
The FX is ideal for catching big air and loops, and its bridle settings bring pop and slap ability. For surfing and soil boarding, the FX is not the best, but if you’re more into jumps and extreme moves, this is the kite that will accommodate that energy.
Best for Big Air: North Orbit
Orbit is the ultra-responsive kite with minimal lag, gravity-defying potential, and smooth handling.
Check Latest Price
What we like
Responsive and attuned to the movements of the rider
What we don’t like
Can be overly-aggressive on the turns if not maneuvered well
The Orbit was the winning kite in the 2020 Red Bull King of the Air championship. With its signature design, this kite is easily one of kiteboarding’s most popular and recognizable models. The Orbit has smooth navigation and airflow control and offers remarkable stability during high winds. It allows you to make strong turns, provides a high jump, and handles well.
Why is it called the Orbit? This kite catches big air and elevates you to dazzling heights, shooting you straight to orbit. Not for the faint of heart, this kite that grows with you will thrill you with both how well you can take control of your jumps and maneuvers and the boundaries that you can push.
Lets You Take Control
A distinguishing feature about the Orbit is how receptive it is to the kiter and how responsive it is to feedback. It turns when you want it to and makes an easy relaunch, with minimal lag, after being down. You can expect impressive hangtime and spectacular jumps with this kite.
The Orbit has a static bridle with medium bar pressure, so you don’t need a lot of elbow grease while maneuvering. The loops are consistent with zero lag, and the kite is, overall, a comfortable ride. With the Orbit, you’ll push the limits of your style and upgrade your tricks and technique.
Key features include its strength-to-weight ratio and its structure, which allows the kite to maintain its shape despite the elements. The kite is also easy to hook up so you can inflate it, and it works with most pumps. It has excellent reinforcements while managing to keep the weight down.
Perfect for foiling, and with a medium grip, you won’t have difficulty making the kite move the way you want. The Orbit handles wind beautifully and is one of the best kites on the market. Once you choose this kite and have the technique and experience to use it to its full capacity, you’ll find it challenging to switch to another kite model.
Best Wave Riding: Slingshot SST V5
One of the strongest kites on the market with instant response to keep you in control between the waves.
Check Latest Price
What we like
Hard-to-beat build, tech, and durability
Compact bridle eases the gust pull
Bar absorbs shock
What we don’t like
The SST is not the best for turbulent conditions
Lack of upwind rideability
Most suitable for surfers and foilers, the Slingshot SST V5 is a design marvel in style and longevity. It has some of the best downwind drifting in the kiteboarding world. The Slingshot also has instant relaunch, which comes in handy with choppy waves and turbulent weather conditions.
If you’re always on the water and want a kite that helps you work with the waves, the Slingshot SST V5 has a cult following for its manageability.
One of the Slingshot’s more impressive features is the way it allows you to control and maneuver the kite even when depowered. The kite features a swept wingtip design that’s excellent for depowering and helping you position yourself on the wave.
The bungee replaces a pulley and provides all the benefits of a pulley but adds durability. The Slingshot SST V5’s unique design prevents blowouts, and you won’t have to worry after it when it hits heavy surf. Its structural features give the kite and the rider better stability and create a seamless glide through the air and water.
High Performance, High Value
The Slingshot SST V5 is one of the most durable kites in the market. It will help you get out of unique or unexpected situations. The kite is ultra-responsive, so if you need a fast-reacting kite to work with you and allow you to steer without power, this is the model for you.
Although it is a performer in the wind, you can fare better with a different model when experiencing turbulent conditions.
Another distinguishing feature of this kite is that it stays out in front of you so that you will not outrun the kite. This feature makes it the ideal surfing and foiling kite for intermediate and expert-level riders, but it does need some experience to maneuver appropriately.
Best for Entry Level: Core Nexus 2
A buttery-smooth, playful kite that embraces diversity in riding styles and abilities.
Check Latest Price
What we like
Evolves with the rider and stays relevant even after the rider advances in skills
What we don’t like
Not the best kite model for unhooked riding
The Core Nexus 2 is the best beginner kiteboarding kite on the market. Although it’s user-friendly and playful, don’t think it’s only for kiters who lack experience. With this kite, you can start as a beginner and continue using it as you sharpen your skills and improve your technique.
One of the reasons why we love this kite is because it acts as an all-inclusive ride. You get to go surfing, foiling, and catch big air with the same kite. The Core Nexus 2 will take whatever you throw at it, all while handling well and maintaining its distinctive shape.
The more you sheet in with the Core Nexus 2, the better steering you get—and the more responsive the kite becomes. One of the best aspects of this kite is that it accommodates virtually any board. Whether you want to go old-school freestyle or use the kite to catch big air, it works well for any technique you adopt.
Why It’s Good For Beginners
This kite knows what to do with little input from the kiter, but it will accommodate preferences with the right maneuvering techniques. It’s not a kite that will yank you everywhere—instead, it offers a buttery-smooth ride. Due to its remarkable stability, the Nexus fits the bill for you, no matter where you are in the experience spectrum.
The newer model of the Core Nexus is manufactured from a lighter material that changes the kite’s feel and balance. The wingtip is also fuller, making it ideal for loops and propelling your turns while creating beautifully-arched curves. When kite surfing, the Core Nexus 2 is quick and responsive but not overly aggressive.
For an all-in-one kite that grows with you, the Core Nexus 2 is hard to beat in value and functionality and will even work as a specialty kite later on.
Final Verdict
Although all the kites in this review have breathtaking capabilities, our top pick overall is the North Reach Performance Freeride. Not only does it have an outstanding balance—and won’t let you down even in the lowest wind—but it also picks up the pace, as you do, to keep you in the air and boost your lift.
If you’re just getting started with kiteboarding, you might consider the Cabrinha Switchblade instead. The Switchblade is our runner-up for the top spot. It’s less aggressive than the Performance Freeride, very user friendly, and will continue to work well for you even after your skills advance.
For those on a budget or looking for an excellent freestyle kiteboard, the Naish Pivot is a good fit. It comes in on the lower side of the price scale but still offers impressive performance.
The Ultimate Kiteboarding Kite Buying Guide
Image credit: North Kiteboarding
Now that you’re familiar with the best kiteboarding kites in the market, it’s time to narrow down your options and choose the one that’s right for you. If you’re a beginner, it helps to know what kind of kite you can start with and which one will grow well with you as your skill level increases.
Choosing the right kite isn’t just about what you want it to do but how the kite fits you and what boards work with the kites. If kiteboarding is your new favorite sport, we recommend wearing the right protective gear to minimize bodily harm.
Take Kiteboarding Lessons
We cannot overemphasize the importance of taking lessons and the difference that lessons can make to enhance your kiteboarding experience. Although it may look simple to the untrained eye, kiteboarding requires skill, practice, and endurance. Adolescents and even seniors can indeed kiteboard, but there are differences in everyone’s technique and what they want to get out of the experience.
Kiteboarding may cause injuries—in rare cases, this sport results in fatalities. If you don’t have the right training and equipment to tackle the wind and waves, you may harm yourself while pursuing this exciting sport.
Know Your Kite
Once you have the training and feel that you’re ready to buy your first kite, the time has come to determine the type that works best for your technique and method. Kites come in four varieties – bow kites, C-kites, hybrids, and deltas.
C-Kites
Compact and versatile, C-Kites are the oldest kite type. They don’t have a bridle and have a C-shape with long, flat square wingtips. They offer great control, powerful pop, and excellent performance. However, they also have a short wind range and can be difficult water relaunch.
C-Type kites are best for riders with experience who enjoy freestyling thanks to their sheer power and stability when unhooked. They aren’t recommended for beginners and can even be dangerous for inexperienced users.
Bow Kites
Introduced around 2005, bow kites a little newer to the scene. They have a flat profile with bridles in the leading edge and a concave trailing edge. These kites have excellent wind range and upwind performance.
They are easy to use and suitable for multiple techniques and proficiency levels. Launching and relaunching is particularly easy. One downside to these kites is that they aren’t suitable for unhooked use. Additionally, they reduce the speed and power of your turns.
Hybrids
Hybrid models combine the best of C-Kite and Bow features with their unique half-moon shape and bridled connection. The flatter shape generates more power than non-hybrid models and is easier to relaunch when down.
They can offer slightly slower response time than C-Kites, but that also makes them safer for less experienced riders. Hybrids are an excellent choice if you’re at an intermediate level and want some of the power of a bow kite in an easier-to-operate package.
Deltas
A hybrid variant with a broad, D-shaped profile and short wingtips, Deltas are similar to hybrids in that they offer wider wind range and easier launches. They also have the same downside in that they have a slower response time, but they are arguably the most forgiving of the kite types, making them an excellent choice for beginners.
Choosing the Right Board
Your board is a tool that you use to achieve your kiteboarding goals, making it just as important as your kite. When choosing a board, your first consideration should be the size. Boards are typically measured in cm and range from 134-165 cm.
Riders who weigh under 150 pounds should look for boards between 134-148 cm. Riders 150-180 pounds need a 140-160 cm board, and those over 180 pounds will fare best with a board between 142-165 cm.
To narrow that range further, consider the type of riding you want to do. The larger the board, the more resistance you’ll get. Longer boards are best for beginners and free riders. For tricks, you want to aim for a shorter board.
There are also three board shapes: square, tapered, and round. Square boards travel upwind easier and provide better pop to jumps. Tapered boards make it effortless to carve and are more forgiving in choppy water. Rounded boards provide the smoothest ride and a great option if you’re looking to take it easy on your knees and joints.

Although kite control systems are customizable, we recommend sticking to the ones that come with your kite. The control system helps you increase and decrease your kite’s power and includes a unique safety system in each model.
FAQs
How much does it cost to get started with kiteboarding?
The kites in our review range between around $800-$1,500, which is typical for a good kite. You can expect to pay $500-$1,000 for a board and another $100-$200 for a harness and jacket. Everything included, you’ll likely spend between $1,500-2,500.
That may seem like a lot, but kiteboarding gear has excellent longevity. Kites often last 7-10 years, boards 10+ years, and harnesses jackets 4-8 years if you take good care of everything.
How do I care for my kite?
All your kiteboarding gear, including the kite, needs to be dry and clean before being packed away. Make sure to shake off any sand and allow it to dry completely. It’s also a good idea to check for damage after each use. Small tears can be repaired using ripstop repair tape.
Keep everything out of the sun and protected from the elements, and you’re good to go. Kiteboards kites don’t really require special care.
Can I buy a kiteboarding kite used?
You can—but we don’t recommend it. The problem with buying a used kite is there’s always a chance the seller will misrepresent or won’t know its age or condition. A kite that’s older or has been left in the sun a lot will be more prone to rips and tears, which could present a safety hazard. You’re better off with a new kite as you’ll know its history and can take advantage of the manufacturer’s warranty.
How long are kiteboard kite warranties?
Most kiteboard kites come with a one to three-year warranty. Keep in mind that warranties usually won’t cover everyday wear and tear or misuse. They apply to damage related to manufacturing defects (so situations where the kite shouldn’t have been damaged under typical conditions).

What are the health benefits of camphor?
The camphor is an extremely versatile herbal remedy that should be used cautiously. Its compounds act on the involuntary nervous system and trigger a variety of effects. Camphor inhalations facilitate coughing and phlegm secretions in bronchitis.
Medicinal benefits of camphor
The rubs camphor stimulate circulation and have a positive effect on heart disease. However, other medicinal plants or drugs are now preferably used for heart problems or coughs. The discomfort due to rheumatic problems also respond to an external treatment with camphor. Its application mainly extends to external muscles and aching joints.
Strictly speaking, camphor (Cinnamomum camphora) is not a medicinal plant, but the ingredient of a medicinal plant, that is, the camphor tree. This ingredient is obtained from the wood and especially from the bark of the camphor tree.
The camphor tree is one of the laurel family and is primarily native to Southeast Asia. The good quality extract comes from plants over 50 years old. Meanwhile, camphor has prevailed as a plant name, but medicinal.
The most striking feature of the first encounter with camphor is the unpleasant acrid smell. This odor is due to the volatile components of camphor essential oil.
In processing this oil, it is purified and camphor remains the only substance. This is further processed as a crystalline powder, mainly in solutions.
Indications for using camphor
•This dissolves bronchial secretions, stimulates circulation, relaxes the bronchi, inhibits inflammation, promotes skin circulation (for external use only)
•Maintain a safe dose - taking large amounts is life threatening
•Not suitable for asthmatics and other chronic respiratory diseases
•Not suitable for pregnant women, infants and children
•Used during: rheumatic disorders, muscle tension, heart problems, low blood pressure, bronchitis, inflammation of the upper respiratory tract.
Camphor benefits
In modern herbal medicine, it is used primarily in rheumatism and other diseases associated with muscle or joint pain. The application is done in the form of rubbing or hydrotherapy.
Mode of action against rheumatism and muscle pain
This ingredient irritates the skin and stimulates the nerve endings, which eventually leads to an anesthetic effect. Pain and itching can be mitigated for this reason. At the same time, camphor stimulates circulation near the surface of the skin. This accelerates the healing of inflammation, for example. Also, the supply of oxygen and nutrients is increased in the area of pain.
Due to skin irritation, you should reduce the external application to the necessary level. Most camphor products, such as alcohol or ointments, should not be used more than 4 times a day.
Effect on heart ailments
The external use of camphor plays an important role in the treatment of heart problems. Creams with this ingredient were long believed to stimulate circulation to relieve heart problems. This seems to be out of date for now. However, when used internally, it is said to have a cardiotonic and hypertensive effect. The exact mode of action, however, is unknown.
Effect on low blood pressure
Internal use of this ingredient in the form of tablets or capsules is aimed at stabilizing the walls of the blood vessels and stimulating circulation. That could explain an effect against low blood pressure.
Effect on the respiratory tract
Camphor is irritating to the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract when rubbed in (indirectly by inhaling volatile components) or when inhaled. This is supposed to trigger an effect that relaxes the respiratory tract and promotes the expectoration of mucus, especially from the bronchi.
The manufacturers of the corresponding products claim a similar effect in case of a cold. In this case, what it does is narrow the small blood vessels in the nasal mucosa and therefore have a decongestant effect. However, this effect is clearly unproven.
In addition, the antimicrobial effect of this plant is used for respiratory diseases. The volatile compounds in camphor oil have a disinfecting effect. Colds that cause illness can be eliminated faster, and new germs are more difficult to penetrate. Also, camphor stimulates the respiratory center in the brainstem. Consequently, breathing for colds can be improved.
Some care for use
It must be used with great care due to the danger of poisoning. Released vapors can cause respiratory arrest. As little as 0.2 g of camphor occasionally causes severe reactions in adults. For babies, the intake of just 1 gram is life threatening. This and other essential oils should not be used in babies and young children under the age of two. To be safe, it should not be used externally until age six.
Either externally or internally, camphor should not be used in children suffering from seizures and / or fever attacks without medical advice.
Also, it is not suitable for people with asthma or other chronic respiratory diseases due to the essential oil content. Essential oils can irritate mucous membranes in such a way that asthma attacks can occur.
In case of liver diseases and diseases of the biliary tract, a doctor should always be consulted before use. This is important because this ingredient can cause serious damage to liver cells.
Basically, it can only be applied on intact skin, never on open wounds or burns. Due to the lack of a skin barrier, too much camphor could enter the body and damage cells and tissues.
This ingredient is transferred to the fetus in the womb and absorbed in breast milk. Therefore, pregnant and lactating women should not be treated with camphor.
Beware of overdose
Like all medicines, this ingredient should definitely be stored safely and protected from children. It is included in many cold remedies that are also used in children.
Also pay attention to the dosing instructions for the products. Overdose poses serious health risks. Taking large amounts of camphor causes seizures, epileptic seizures, and severe nerve damage, which can lead to coma and death.
Side effects and use of camphor
Side effects of taking camphor can be headache, restlessness, dizziness, or hot flashes. An overdose manifests itself in nausea, shortness of breath, panic attacks, and memory disorders. In case of these complaints, discontinue the use of camphor immediately and consult a doctor if necessary. When applied externally, skin irritation or ulceration (eczema) is possible.
Many camphor consumer products contain alcohol. These products are not suitable for alcoholics, nor for pregnant women, infants and children.
