Volume 8, Number 4 is the fist issue of the new The Kiteboarder Magazine, the result of months spent rethinking what a kiteboarding magazine should look like. This magazine represents not just a new look for the magazine but also showcases our new direction as a company.

This issue is available in our new oversized print format, but we are also making the electronic version of the magazine available before the print magazine begins shipping. The Kiteboarder Magazine Volume 8, Number 4 is available either through the TKB Store (as a PDF file) http://store.thekiteboarder.com/product_p/tkb-vol8no2-emag.htmor you can download the issue directly to your mobile device through the brand new The Kiteboarder App http://www.thekiteboarder.com/app/.

THE FREE ONLINE VERSION OF THE PRINT MAGAZINE WILL STILL BE OFFERED online at TKB right before the next print magazine starts mailing, as in the past, but now you can get it right away if desired.

The Kiteboarder Volume 8, Number 4 features:

•The Sherman Island Kiteboarding Experience: 10 pages describing Sherman Island, the summer kiteboarding paradise located between San Francisco and Sacramento.

•Mission to the Maldives: Julian Hosp travels to the Maldive Islands to explore the archipelago’s kiteboarding potential.

•The Longest Wave: Pacasmayo, Peru: Discover the land of the mythical left point breaks.

•The Kids are Alright: The story of how kiteboarding is helping communities on the northeast coast of Brazil.

•A History of the Bridge of the Gods Kiteboarding Festival: Read about the event that has been helping kiteboarders move from amateur to professional riding for more than 10 years.

Enjoy! As always, we appreciate your support and feedback......

About The Kiteboarder:
The Kiteboarder was founded by kiteboarders with an extreme passion for the sport. From the beginning, the magazine focused on the people, places, culture, and lifestyle that make kiters so stoked about kiteboarding. Now that the sport has matured, The Kiteboarder felt the time was right for a pure lifestyle magazine with long-form feature stories consisting of thoughtful in-depth editorial and imagery that set us apart from other magazines in the kiteboarding industry. The all-new The Kiteboarder will target and appeal to intelligent kiteboarders who want a publication that encapsulates the spirit and lifestyle of kiteboarding presented in clean, elegant, and readable layouts rather than a cluttered magazine full of ads and trendy design elements.

Tried it on an iPad and kept getting "invalid response from server" after trying to purchase latest issue. when I tried it again it told me I had already purchased and asked if I wanted to download again for free. Said yes but got same "invalid response......" message.

Any thoughts?

I just wanted to let you all know that the developers are aware of the issue and are very close to fixing it. If you have had a problem, please email me at marina@thekiteboarder dot com so they can contact you directly when the fix is complete.

Thanks for your patience!

FYI, if you had problems downloading the new mag in Itunes, please try again. The problem has now been fixed and you will not be charged.

Thanks for your patience! The issue had to do with server not recognizing 'odd' characters in an owner's iPad name.

If you still cannot download the mag for some reason, please email me at marina @ thekiteboarder. com
