Red Bull Gone With The Wind

Belgische kitesurfers kennen hem maar al te goed: de wet die hen verbiedt om bij meer dan 6 Beaufort het water op te gaan. Red Bull Gone With The Wind veegt dit letterlijk van de kaart, want  van zodra er tussen oktober dit jaar en maart volgend jaar meer dan 6 Beaufort staat en storm voorspeld wordt, zullen enkele lucky few klaar staan om te strijden met en tegen de wind.

Wie zich geroepen voelt om deel te nemen, beschikt best over een stevig stel longen, een dito uithoudingsvermogen en de nodige ervaring als kitesurfer. De deelnemers moeten tijdens het eerste deel van de wedstrijd immers op het strand 1 km tegen de wind in lopen (met hun materiaal op de rug) met als doel zo snel mogelijk het check point te bereiken. Daar is het vervolgens zaak hun kite zo snel mogelijk op te tuigen, om dan met de wind mee terug te kiten naar het startpunt, terwijl ze onderweg zoveel mogelijk air time verzamelen. Bijkomende voorwaarde: alles moet gerealiseerd worden binnen een tijdslimiet van 1 uur.

De prijzen

De winnaar is diegene die binnen 1 uur het meeste airtime heeft verzameld. Hij wordt de eerste Belgische Red Bull Gone With The Wind kampioen en gaat met niet minder dan 750€ cash en een vette WOO tracker naar huis. De 2de en 3de plaats worden ook beloond met respectievelijk 400€ en 250€ cash en natuurlijk ook een WOO tracker.

De jury zal ook nog 2 deelnemers belonen met een WOO tracker voor hun uitmuntende stijl.

Na de wedstrijd is iedereen ook nog uitgenodigd voor een exclusieve afterparty. (locatie wordt nog bevestigd)

Deelnamevoorwaarden

  1. De wedstrijd zal doorgaan aan Surfers Paradise (Knokke-Heist) tijdens de periode van oktober 2015 tot en met februari 2016, van zodra er meer dan 6 Beaufort staat
  2. Maximum 20 deelnemers, die gekozen zullen worden door de Red Bull jury op basis van de vetste kitesurf foto's (op te laden via het inschrijvingsformulier)
  3. 16 jaar of ouder zijn
  4. Belg zijn
  5. Lid zijn van een Belgische surfclub
  6. De disclaimer lezen en goedkeuren
  7. Inschrijven via het formulier op deze website

Ozone Enduro V1 new free ride kite

Hi everyone, thanks very much for your patience while waiting for this new kite in our Ozone range. After having spent the summer designing, testing and riding the Enduro we know that the wait will have been worth it for you and your customers.

Our all new model is aimed at all intermediate to advanced free riders who are looking for a powerful "do it all" kite that works equally well in flat water, waves and generally hooning around enjoying the wind and elements. We believe that together with the Catalyst V1 this will be one of your best sellers and the perfect kite to offer customers looking to change their Catalyst 2015s or to choose a more performance model than the Catalyst V1.

The kite features Variable Bridle Technology giving it 3 different handling characteristics which gives a different feel that to be able to suit most riders free ride preferences. Please read the technical information further down in this newsletter.

We have released the first most popular sizes in 7m, 9m and 12m now on and there is a 10% demo voucher for the kites. The offer is to make sure you have the Enduro in your demo set to help you with sales, it runs out on the 20th November 2015 so please get your orders in now and don’t forget to add C4s and a Zephyr if you have not already.
Variable Bridle Geometry settings - quick and easy to change with no extra lines to add or remove:
Freeride – The Freeride setting offers the ideal balance in performance and feeling for all-round riding in any conditions. This is the factory setting and we recommend you try your Enduro V1 first on the Freeride setting.
Wave – The Wave setting decreases the bar pressure, and increases steering reactivity in all states of power and de-power - it is easier to turn the kite while de-powered when riding a wave.
Freestyle – The Freestyle setting increases sheeting bar pressure, increases power in the kite loop and increases pop for unhooked tricks. If you prefer a heavier and direct feel this could be the setting for you!

Slingshot 2016 RPM

Since 1999 Slingshot has been a trailblazer in the kiteboarding industry, both in the gear we produce and the athletes who carry our torch as we push the sport to new boundaries. Over the years, Slingshot has been the catalyst for many pivotal moments in kiteboarding; from technological innovations that inspired changes in the entire industry to athletes who defied what was thought possible and pushed the sport to incredible new heights in the process.

We call these Defining Moments, and as we launch a new lineup of kites and boards, we look back with great satisfaction at our role in the progression of kiteboarding over the last 16 years, and at the following of loyal Slingshot friends we have amassed along the way.

Highlighting our second 2016 product launch is our flagship kite, the RPM. Six years after its debut, we find the RPM harder than ever to define. Never before has a kite been so rock solid for so many different styles of riders. The 2016 RPM is the epitome of a concept we strive for with every Slingshot product: Refined Rider Simplicity. No frills, no gimmicks, no shortcuts. Slingshot’s recipe for success is based on innovative design, solid engineering and bombproof construction, and the RPM embodies that impeccably.

The 2016 RPM features a new look, refined canopy layout and upgraded trailing edge material, as well as a major overhaul of the 14-meter model to make it lighter, faster and more responsive. The RPM has built an enormous following over the years, and we’re confident in the statement that this is one of the very best and most versatile kites ever made.
