The Bruna Kajiya Shadow Kite Harness

The Bruna Kajiya Shadow Kite Harness from Mysticboarding on Vimeo.

It seemed only fair that the world champ should get her own signature harness. So here it is, 'the BK Shadow' inspired by world champion Bruna Kajiya. With an ultra compact design, feather light and super flexible contours allowing for maximum range of motion... What the champ wants, the champ gets.

The Free Ride Project (OFFICIAL MOVIE) feat: UKcrew

The Free Ride Project (OFFICIAL MOVIE) feat: UKcrew from Tom Court on Vimeo.

The "FreeRide' Project is an idea that we had at the start of 2011. Four riders, from different brands, we started traveling together and filming how we wanted our sport to look and be represented...this is a no-mess, un-brand motivated representation of what we want kiteboarding to be and what it means to us as we travel to some of the best spots and biggest wakestyle events through the year, to just have fun and ride!

Following the year of the UK riders Aaron Hadlow, Tom Court, Sam Light and James Boulding (the UKcrew) this video goes to Australia, DR, Hood River, Fuerteventura and the Philippines, with some kiteboarding action in each spot. As well as a section in the CWC cable park during the WONW kite/cable event at the end of 2011.

Sit back and enjoy, the video will be available for free download soon. The idea being that you can burn your own DVD/movie, share it at home or play it in your shops!! Spread the word!!

A big THANKS to all involved who made this possible and helped us along the way!
Riders:
Tom Court
