ASnews this week: Peru, the next hot kite destination?

[marina c]

Podcast #82:

Cabarete wave riding veteran Brent “Skip” Schippidinni recently relocated to Mancora, North Peru, to pioneer what may be the next emerging hot kiteboarding spot in South America. Drawn by the country’s fabled left hand point breaks, endless down the line wave riding, and rich culture, Skip joins ASNews.net and The Kiteboarder Magazine this week to tell us about the area, his discoveries and what motivated him take the plunge to open a business in this relatively unknown part of the world.

If you’ve got a passion for waves, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to find out the inside scoop on this new kiteboarding destination, recently scouted by Liquid Force, Flexifoil, Cabrinha, and the ACL film crew.
