Great news Konrad.

I am glad to see that GIN is taking the US market more seriously, and I know you are going to be a fine representative for them.

So, are you going to have any GIN kites at the bash for us to beat on... I mean demo?

BeamerBob - 17-4-2012 at 02:04 PM

Thanks to all ...... PKF is one of the reasons why I progress with kiting so quickly ...... 16 months ago I play with my trainer trying to learn on my own ....... and then .... I found YOU guys ...... Thanks to PKF I got knowledge to proceed to next step ....... and then next and next ....... Thanks to PKF I met so many kiters ....... local and from other side of continent ..... Jaymez was my first kiting companion and he make me feel confident when trying buggy for a first time .... Events like WBB , Kitestorm , Tug Hill , Mini Cheezeball that I was able to attend show what is possible ..... how great kiting family really is ...... PL team riders Adam and Todd ...... they show me what it is to be a team rider ..... All local kiters from PKF ... Mike, Martin , Aaron, Mark ..... thanks for riding with me and sharing joy of kiting ......

Thanks all /////....

Love you PKF .....

Hey Konrad congrats on this advancement in kiting. Your a great flyer and they know it.

Feyd - 18-4-2012 at 04:17 AM

Congrats on the team spot Kober. I'm sure you'll be a great representative for the brand.

If you don't get a winter down south again next year you can always come visit us up north and get the hardwater goods.

I kinda chuckled that BB thought you were Asian. Kober-san

nocando - 18-4-2012 at 04:21 AM

doneski - 18-4-2012 at 04:45 AM

Tibi - 18-4-2012 at 09:03 AM

Congrats!...I've just seen this...Yesterday I was busy with my taxes.

Clunthoo - 18-4-2012 at 11:32 AM

Congratz! Gin aren't big over here (in fact, don't think I've seen one at all) but I think the Zulu is one of the best looking kites ever made.

I never really watch snowkiting videos as I have never even went skiing/snowboarding so I can't relate to it as much as others. But I watch Pascal's videos religiously, he rocks on the GIN kites :wee:

Have Fun!

Roadkyllphil - 18-4-2012 at 12:19 PM

Congrats Kober!!!!!!!!!

bobalooie57 - 18-4-2012 at 12:57 PM

:thumbup: Great news, Kober. Not really surprised though, I said from the start you were a natural! Great job! :bigok:

g00fba11 - 18-4-2012 at 03:21 PM

Kober....late to the show as usual... But just want to extend congrats...that is so cool and an awesome achievement....

labrat - 18-4-2012 at 05:29 PM

Congrats Kober,

Just don’t let it go to your head. We don’t want to see videos with you and some angry fishermen.
Are you working on the on a kite shop sponsor next? How about a camera manufacturer? So many directions and so little time.

Enjoy the ride.

stetson05 - 18-4-2012 at 08:17 PM

Congrats. I wish I had your video skills.

RedSky - 18-4-2012 at 09:44 PM

Nice one mate.

I had around 200 metres of race kites collected over a period of 11 years up until 2009 and without a doubt the Gin Tonkawa race kites were the best I ever owned. Gin aren't just a paragliding company trying their hand at making kites to grab market share. The Tonkawa is unlike any other race kite and I urge anyone who hasn't flown one to do so.

Okay, I did what you asked of me Kober, now where's my Gin team rider sponsorship ??

Kober - 19-4-2012 at 06:02 PM

Thanks again everyone ...... It's so good to be part of PKF Familly that is alway here for you bad ang good times......
