A great night was had by all who attended the 2011 North & ION Kiteboarding, North Sails & Fanatic Boards Aussie Unveiling in Melbourne this week.

Great numbers along and worked well with North & ION's Adam Quinn in putting on a fantastic evening for everyone who attended.

Thanks to the Beach Hotel Albert Park for the great venue and fantastic finger food that was provided throughout the night. North's 'Behind the Scenes' DVD, and Fanatic's 'Addicted to Ride' were shown throughout the night also.

Enough talk, here's a sneak peak at some of the 2011 Product Range...

The colors and graphics look good.

Can someone say if they are any good in the air and on the water. What's different / better than last year or other brands?

Might nearly be metro/homo sexual retro chic by then.

You can never be TOO ready to come out.

I think this is the best "comeback" comment I have read on the forum.

I have to agree with Rowdy -
why you want your kite to look a 1980s disco shirt - these euro companys are so gay in their graphics - if I see any more pink, baby blue of bright yellow Ill puke

Give me some thing that is a little more low key and has style - I am sure someone will realise this at some point

haha, Vegas is definitely a kite that people will love or despise graphics wise. The Rebel, Neo & Fuse are all much more refined in terms of graphics.

New material being used for canopy seems outstanding, should give them heaps more control over the feel of the kite in different situations as well as being way ahead anything else in terms of durability.

Can't wait to get them out on the water!

in order for that to be true they would have had to start using those gay colours AFTER the movie came out.... but they been using them years before that movie was released!

does this material have magical morphing properties that change in different conditions? not quite sure how material alone will affect the control // feel of a kite
