Best Kite Magazine?

What is your favorite kite magazine and why?

It seems like there are quite a few out there and I'm wondering if there is a consensus on the "best" of the bunch.

Currently I get "The Kiteboarder". This magazine is super glossy and has lots of fantastic pictures, but I find the writing and articles to be pretty boring and not very informative. Quite a few ads but I suppose that's to be expected. I also find that this magazine is about 95% water and virtually no KGB, buggy or snowkiting. I got this one because they had a deal a few months ago that came with the "Something Stronger" snowkite DVD for only $40 so the mag was essentially free.

Does anyone get Stance Magazine, the one from the UK that comes with a DVD? I'm tempted to give it a try but its awfully pricey.

I read the online "Ikitemag". Are saying there is a print version called "Power Kite Magazine"? I like Ikite, but I wish that I could download it and read it offline.

Speaking of Ikite, congrats on the "Buggy America" article. That was a nice write-up.:thumbup:

Power Kite Magazine is now available in some US magazine stores. I buy my in Barnes & Noble stores. Tks

I love "PowerKite" magazine. The only downfall is that my Barnes and Noble is always a month behind (maybe actually 2 since most magazines are 1 month ahead anyways) I always have to wait 3 months for the new magazine. I wish i could just subscribe but because it's from UK they don't accept US checks and i don't wanna snail mail my credit card number. oh well i love it anyways :singing:
