Kristen and Rygo are headed down to Key West in the RV, where they'll hook up with the crew from Light Wind Watersports. They'll camp along the water at Curry Hammock in Marathon along the way to test out some fresh Airush gear.
The wind was fairly light the next morning, so Kristen took out the 14m Lift and had a great session. That evening, Rygo got a turn as well for a fantastic sunset session.

Rygo and Kristen Chase the Wind in the Florida Keys
Kristen here! Ryan and I are on our way down to the Keys. We just left St. Pete, where we've been having a blast riding with the local crew and hanging out with our friends there. But this week they're not predicting any wind, so we checked the forecast for the Keys and it looks epic there. So we're hitting the road and are going to go hang out with the crew down there and get some kiting in, and we're so stoked for that. It's been a year since we've been there, so we're super excited to

Wing Foiling Northern Michigan
What's up, guys? I'm Rygo.
I'm Kristen.
And we're back in Michigan. We've been on tour in the RV for a while now, and then we've been kiting down south in West Michigan, getting so many good freestyle sessions.

It's kind of like going to another world up there.
Yeah, the water up there is

Why Women Should Try Bigger Kites
Hey guys, Kristen here. I am in Arizona and we're picking up a new-to-us RV for the MACkite RV tour. We're getting ready to head to Florida, and I wanted to get some more videos out to you guys. I figured a good one to start off with is why ladies should not be afraid of big kites, so let's get into it.

Some Good Reasons to Buy New or Used Kites
Yeah, what's up guys? Rygo here from MACkite. I'm here in Arizona picking up a new RV for the MACkite RV tour. I spent the last year living in a 27-footer, and then when we were in Oregon we actually swapped that out for a smaller 1985 Toyota, which was super sick. Oh man, it was so small. So we're here in the Southwest just picking something up that's a bit bigger, probably more practical for living full-time on the road, and I wanted to talk to you. Lately I've been thinking about new kites
