Kiteboarding's inside line, with sand still on it.
Kitesurf365 is a fast, insider-heavy kiteboarding show built around competition form, board design, rider moves, and the weather-window chaos of the sport. It swings from serious interviews with riders to loose Megapod arguments about big-air records, brand signings, and what the next event might prove.

Kitesurf365 is a kiteboarding show with one foot on the beach and the other in the gear shed. It treats big-air competition, board design, rider form, and brand politics as connected parts of the same sport. The conversation is brisk and very inside-baseball. One episode might remember Peter Lynn and trace how forgotten board designs helped change twin-tip performance, while another reacts quickly to Jamie Overbeek reclaiming a WOO world record. The show likes detail. It spends time on Rebels, Peaks, flat-water takeoffs, gusty spots, six-versus-seven kite choices, and why a rider might wait out a heat instead of forcing a jump. That technical patience gives the interviews weight. When Alyssa Minch talks about pressure, nerves, and learning from rewatching heats, the conversation stays close to the actual decision-making rather than floating into generic sports psychology. When Jamie Overbeek talks about form and Mykonos, the focus is practical: what works, where it works, and what might change when the conditions get ugly. The Megapod episodes bring a different rhythm. They are looser, more argumentative, and more willing to chase a take about the race to 50, rider-owned brands, Air Rush, Baby Shark, Davi Ribeiro, or the first big event of the season. There is plenty of joking around, but the show is not just noise. Under the banter is a clear read on competition structure, sponsor movement, rider development, and the way small equipment choices can shape results. TechCast episodes add historical and design context, especially around underground board development, Christchurch, wave trays, and how experimentation moved through the sport. Interviews with figures like Lewis Crathen widen the frame into stunts, broadcasting, Harlem, Brainchild, custom prints, and European production choices. The result is not a polished studio explainer. It is a long-running, highly specific kiteboarding room where expertise, impatience, affection, and speculation all stay in the mix.
Made for: For kiteboarders, big-air followers, gear obsessives, and fans who track events, records, rider moves, and spot conditions closely. It works best for listeners who already know the sport's basic language and want informed conversation rather than beginner instruction.
What sets it apart: Kitesurf365 pairs rider access with technical memory, moving from live competition reaction to board-design history without sanding off the messy human conversation. Its Megapod and TechCast formats let the same feed handle records, gear, pressure, and pure kite-scene banter.
Every Monday: Adrian sits down with whoever is making waves in the world of Kiteboarding. Expect big names and in-depth conversation. Every Thursday: Colin Colin Carroll and Adrian present to you, THE MEGAPOD. The pair chat utter rubbish to each other about what's been happening + what they think is going to happen. Some of it is made up and barely any of it is correct.
