PODCAST #95:



This week, we are doing things a bit differently! We have two special guests joining us for the ASNews.net and The Kiteboarder Magazine podcast. Bay Area kiteboarder Jeff Kafka will join us live Thursday night to talk to us and answer any questions you might have about his experience kitesurfing at Maverick’s – a day he has been anticipating for over four years. Filmmaker Morten Gjerstad will be joining us for a pre-recorded show to tell us about his newest snowkiting film, Something Stronger.

Got a question for Jeff about Maverick's? He will be available to answer your question LIVE and REAL TIME on this Thursday’s The Kiteboarder Magazine/ASNews.net live podcast.
