Video Post!

Alright.  About another week before the windy season picks back up, so what's a surfer to do?

Videos baby!

Sometimes you want to ride in the absolute lightest winds possible, which is usually about 12mph.  We can get it done on great big 14 and 16 meter kites.  They are a blast to fly and they pull like tractors. Everyone tells us we're crazy and to wait for more wind.  I guess they should tell this guy as well.

= 50 Meter Kite =




And here's Cabrinha's 2014 teaser video. Be careful with this one. After watching, you will have an intense urge to quit your job and go surfing forever.

And lastly, for those of you that wonder what a 790ft jump looks like.

The water is warm so leave your wetsuits at home. It's board shorts and surfing time.

Sometimes there's too much wind. May 20th Tornado Victims. Respect.


As Oklahomans and kiters, we know, love, respect, and sometimes fear the wind.  Our Okc offices have thankfully been missed by the storms, but our friends and families are all affected in some way.

Okkite instructor Nate McCubbin, is intimately familiar with the process, since not only was his home destroyed in the May 3rd, 1999 tornado as a child, leaving him in his boyscout uniform for days, but his former elementary school, Briarwood, was leveled during this May 20th storm. 

Nate has always spoken about that event as being a catalyst to getting involved in extreme sports as a validation and celebration of life. Life lived well and fully.

Just as we come together for fun and adventures, we come together for the tough times too.

Okkite.com is donating ALL proceeds from lessons booked this week to Redcross.org, the lead charity in the relief effort in South Okc/Moore.

Sincerely, - Okkite.com staff
