As well as kiting and teaching kiting Mark also worked as beach crew and competition judge at the British Kite Surfing Association (BKSA) competitions in 2005. Currently an IKO Level 2 Senior instructor Mark is now working towards becoming an IKO Examiner. As well as being a keen kitesurfer and kite landboarder he is also pushing his buggy freestyle skills with upwind 360 surface passes and has recently qualified for his buggy race pilots license. Winter sees him making the most of the weather here in Scotland, when he can be found snowkiting whenever conditions allow. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Although Maggie has competed in kitesurfing and kite landboarding over the past few years, her best result came on the Snowkite World Championship Tour winter 2007/2008, where she was ranked as the Best Performing Woman overall. She also did well at the Ozone Snowkite Masters 2008, winning both the women's freestyle and race (snowboard category), and being placed as the second woman overall. At the OSKM she even got a 5th place in the men's best trick competition. Scotland is not renowed for producing world class snowsports enthusiasts, but Maggie puts her success down to being able to transfer her skills between kitesurfing, kite landboarding and snowkiting. She will usually be out practising whatever the conditions, and reckons that the adaptability this breeds helps you quickly get used to whatever board you are going to compete on. Most recently Maggie ranked 2nd in the womens fleet at the 2009 BKSA Wavemasters competition, held in Fraserburgh. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
