The Making Of
world kite and windsurfing guide 3rd edition

Stoked Publications claim one of their guides will pay for itself several times over. Publisher Udo Hoelker hopes so – he’s lost count of the money spent scouring the globe and studying weather patterns to make your dream trip come true. Brian McDowell quizzed him on the ultimate global adventure

Even the most independent adventurers long for one. Every self-respecting surf-mobile has one onboard. Whether you flipped the bird at your boss and bailed for a round-the-world odyssey, or want to hit-up a short haul destination for the weekend, can you afford to leave home without the World Kite and Windsurfing Guide’s latest edition? 

Since 2006, the Kite & Windsurfing Guide Europe has answered two of life’s burning questions: ‘Where shall I go on my next trip?’ Then, having got there, ‘Which spot’s best today?’ The team at Stoked Publications have done it again with their remarkable 3rd Edition – this time covering the entire planet in it‘s full glory. With more than 1,200 of the best spots on Earth detailed and  ‘Made in Germany’ to super-high standards, this unique piece of work is now available in English across 54 countries worldwide.

But who’s behind this bible bursting with local lowdown? How many trips did they get to make in the name of ‘research‘? And how did Carlsberg help them end up with probably the best job in the world?
