Last night, listeners enjoyed an excellent interview with Nick from RRD.
Nick has some very interesting things to say about:
C-Kites - why he thinks they'll make a comeback
Kite Construction- why panel construction make a difference to aerodynamics of the kite (fabric stretches, seams don't)
Bows/SLE's - false sense of security? There is no one kite quiver
How kiteboarding is viewed in Europe versus US
RRD Zippers - what do they really do and why hasn't anyone copied them?
Which products are best for what type of riders and their specific riding conditions
bars- their evolution and props to naish and north
and of course, much, much, more... ! Tune in at www.thekiteboarder, download the podcast from ASnews.net or kiteforum.tv.
Most of all, enjoy! The podcasts allow you to cut through the marketing hype and ask your questions straight to the source, either by posting your questions on your local forum, or tuning in real time to the show every thursday night.... |
