ELSA BERGER PATRICK DUDEK MANUEL ZWINZ JULIAN LANGE LAURA ALEXY 33 / 05 KEN WINNER DUOTONE TRUE KITEBOARDING HISTORY BY DUOTONE We were there when the first kites were seen riding down- wind from Ho’okipa to Kana- ha. We got dragged over the beaches of Maui, the Baltic Sea or Tarifa, we tried direc- tionals and twin tips, we ex- perimented with two, four or five lines and we developed HERITAGE & C-shapes, Delta-shapes and safety bars. Whatever comes to your mind regarding kite- surfing evolution in the past INNOVATION 20 years – we took part in it. INNOVATION BY DUOTONE There is not a single day without one of our engineers or team riders on the water testing new products. We call ourselves fortunate to have a team which yearns to push the sport to the next level. From the early days un- til today, we experienced in- credible progression and yet there is no end in sight. And this is what creates the ex- citement. Our R & D team does not respond to trends! We love to start the trend, to set the tone and to explore new ways on the water. 06 / 33 HERITAGE AND INNOVATION CLICK BAR The unsurpassed bar with gear change and true adaption to your equipment and riding skills. Never before was it easier to power / depower regardless of the situation. With the push of a button, you can extend the back lines and a simple twist of the winder allows you to shorten them again. Tangled lines are a thing of the past and thanks to the Iron Heart V, any unwanted twisting of the safety line is eliminated. A 5th element upgrade kit is available. 5TH ELEMENT With already 10 years on the market, the 5th Element bar still remains a benchmark in control bar safety systems and many kiters still swear by this bar today. Many of our kites can be flown with a four or five lines setup. IRON HEART The patented and long-term approved chicken loop and safety release system, now available in the 5th generation. Even under extreme stress only very little effort is needed to release the kite. This is the reason why so many kiters trust in our system. NTT BINDING WITH TRACK SYSTEM Our patented binding system provides simple entry, is ultra comfortable with even pressure distribution and offers an ultra tight foothold. On top it offers ex- tremely versatile adjustment features for every foot form and stand position.

  • Beginners Guide to Kite Boarding
    The Complete Beginner’s Guide About Kitesurfing What Is Kitesurfing? For some, it does not even ring a bell although, for others, it means everything and they build their life around it! Whether you have already witnessed it in person on your last vacation to the beach, maybe over the internet in your news feed or even in pop culture, for sure it made you wonder… What the heck are these guys doing dangling in the air under that big parachute? And how are they even doing it? If we were to talk to someone in the early 1960s about space exploration, let alone landing on the moon they would have thought we were crazy. What if we were to tell someone today that they can have the time of their life by practicing a water sport that involves standing up on a surfboard, strapped in a waist harness while being pulled along by a large kite up 25 meters in the air? That person probably wouldn’t believe it. Well, here we are today with hundreds of thousands of people learning and practicing kiteboarding every year. In this Complete Beginner’s Guide, we will go from the inception of the sport to where it is today and everything in between to understand what kitesurfing is all about. This guide will inform you about the history and origins of kitesurfing, the equipment, the environment, what it takes to become a kiter as well as the benefits of becoming one. Moreover, we will cover everything there is to know about the safety aspects of this action sport and the overall lifestyle and culture that has grown around it.

SLOW MOTION, the hallucinatory prisms, like liquid diamonds taking flight, dreamlike... EXT. OCEAN - DUSK Backlit against a flaming sun a solitary SURFER glides across the green glassy peak. TIME IS STRETCHED until his movements gain a grace and fluidity not of this world. Total Zen concentration. Body weight centered, eyes forward and on the next section. EXT.

The sedan turns past the FIRST VIRGINIA BANK and into an alley. INT. BLACK SEDAN TWO MEN and ONE WOMAN in SUSPENDED TIME put on overcoats and hats. Under their hats strips of Scotch tape stretch taut from the base of their nose to their forehead, hideously distorting their features. Makes them look like human PIGS. EXT.
