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?
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!
<<<<<<< wicked a kite with my piccie on it
yewwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!

cheers,
Robbie
ps they don't look very good to me, but who cares if they go good!!!
