Slingshot RPM 2012 with Youri ZoonHere’s a quick short from Slingshot and Youri about the new additions to the 2012 Slingshot RPM. We are so happy that Slingshot has kept this kite in the line up for this long. It is such a versatile kite.

So check this out.  During the Red Bull event at the beginning of the summer Ashley Wright asked for the autographs of Ruben Lenten, Aaron Hadlow and Susi Mai on one of our Dakine T-Shirts.   The shirt made it around the world and into the hands of the local rider and onto a local kitesurfing blog in Sri Lanka.   Here’s a link to the blog.  Check it out!

Also, keep a look out on Aaron, Ruben and Will’s site called ONTHELOOSE.TV

Tybee Island should be showing up there sometime in the Video Section!

Saturday, May 15th was an awesome day thanks to the girls that showed up to the free Intro to Kiteboarding event that we hold for women every other saturday.  7 women showed up and completed the two hour intro course.  All 7 women were awesome and very excited about getting into the sport! We were very happy with the turnout and with the feedback.  Thanks to everyone who showed up!  We hope to see you all soon.

We are aware that this sport is currently dominated by men and that is why decided to offer this course to women.  There is no reason why more women should be involved in this sport.  We hope that by offering a course like this we may help to change the current numbers.

If you are interested in signing up for the class in the future please feel free to contact us on our “contact us” page.
