Soul Rebel If you have learned to kiteboard in the last few years, you might not even know who Lou Wainman is, and he likes it that way. After years of being acknowledged as the best rider in the world, he shunned the industry and disappeared from the scene. Lou is still riding and continues to break new ground, not for sponsors, but for himself. Lens Kim Kern Caribbean Oasis In most kiteboarding spots getting skunked leaves you little to do but pray for wind. Sometimes no wind days, lead to great ideas and eXtreme Hotels, Cabarete took it to another level by building a world-class half pipe in the middle of their hotel proving that activities at resorts don’t have to be limited to snorkeling and sunbathing.

Now imagine being the guy snowkiting up to the top of this powdery peak and taking speed runs down or perhaps jumping off that hair-lipped cornice. Lens: Boulgakow Autopilot <strong>The</strong> consequences of timing a jump wrong while snowkiting are unlike kiteboarding on water. One wrong move on snow and you are going to take a beating. This day, Amaury Couvreur gaps the road effortlessly in front of his friends at Serre Chevalier Col du Lautaret, in France. Lens: Wareck Arnaude Ski Free A growing number of kiters have made the crossover to riding snow. This photo of P. Joubert charging down the French Alps should light a fire under anyone who is on the fence about trying snowkiting. Why pay for a lift ticket, when the wind is free! Lens: Bertrand Boone 61
