Whats the kite, have not seen this model/colour???

Steve
Sorry to change the topic steve, but why the **** is there 2 different world title tours/series??? It almost seems some euro riders go " I can't beat hadlow and co so i'll go on the KPWT and win some events there." Seb garrat is a pretty sic rider (As i've seen in Kiteboarder) and i don't want to take that away from him, but why can't we just have 1 tour and let the braggin rights go 2 1 rider. Is there a world freestyle comp? Thoughts any1?
Gotta love the Italians (so happens I am one)They just go their own way.Check it out.http://www.loose.it/Loose08/en/KITETRIBE.HTML
Well done Marine, 3rd in the first round is unreal. Congrats.
Joe, Mel and the Team at ARSA
