Our Technology

IKSURFMAG is unique in the sense that all our technology is built in-house. Many magazines claim to be digital, but are they? Our magazine is built from the ground up to be seen online, from the font size to the dimensions of the pages. Next, we use our own bespoke technology to publish the magazine, not a cheap third party piece of software with limited controls offering a poor user experience.

This means we can use videos that run directly on the pages, our magazine fits on all devices and it runs at a lightning pace too, no one waits for pages to load.

In recent years we have upgraded our platform, following the shift to mobile devices. Ask yourself when was the last time you looked at your phone? We are guessing it wasn’t long ago IKSURFMAG is now always in your pocket!

Our Mobile App

Two years ago, we totally redesigned our mobile App to suit modern smartphones. Gone is the “page flip” you see on your desktop, this doesn’t fit very well on a mobile device. Instead, we have developed a unique format that allows readers to enjoy the articles, view images and gives them the ability to watch videos too.

More than this, we’ve put our entire back catalogue of tests, technique, magazines, news stories, travel guides and videos right in the palm of your hand. You’ll never be without IKSURFMAG as long as you have your phone with you!

Social Reach

Over the last ten years we have built the most engaging kitesurfing page on the Facebook platform. If you want your videos to get thousands of views, you need our help!

Using our unique formula, that we have honed over years of hard work and experience, we make the Facebook Algorithm work for your brand. We are consistently the most engaging kitesurfing page on the platform, no other page even comes close.

When we share your message on social media it makes a difference.
