IKSURFMAG… the definitive kitesurf magazine

Monday, June 29th, 2009

International Kite Surf Magazine, IKSURFMAG for short, has been around for a few years now, during that time it has become one of the most respected kitesurfing magazines on the planet. Read in over 160 countries worldwide the magazine has reached hundreds of thousands of kitesurfers around the globe.

Of course IKSURFMAG isn’t just any magazine, the team behind it pioneered digital publishing back in 2006 allowing the magazine to take on a wholly more interactive feel. The page flipping technology created a real buzz in the kitesurfing world and the ability to embed video right on the pages of the magazine got lots of kiters and industry folk excited.

These days with all the video content the magazine is huge by comparison with the last issue topping out at just over 860mb! Each issue is around 150 pages and the team try to cram as many stories, pictures and videos into that as possible.
