Time to say goodbye to my Gin Kiteboarding team rider status


I know .....
Its been 5 months since bad news ... and I was holding to Gin logo in my signature for longer then any other Team Rider ....
... Time to make space for new sponsor logo ..... not sure if I want to commit to any brand 100% but I am open for any offers and I got few so far .....
... Gin kites will always have that special spot in my heart and leave tons of awesome memories .... It was so good to learn to kite with those kites .... get first sponsorship .... progress with skills and meet so many awesome people on the way .....
... PLEASE ... don't forget .... Gin design so many solid kites thru years where quality and performance was always top shelf and safety futures that make my kiting experience stress free ....
... I will be always a Gin guy for you here on forum if you have any questions , and I am sure B-roc will do the same ..... ( Thanks Brian )
... All my inflatable Gin kites will be for sale soon ... I am keeping Tonkowas, Sherpa and 4.5m Yeti ...

... Thanks again to Gin Kiteboarding for awesome ride ...... all my friends for support when making decisions, PKF forum for always being here for all my questions , positive comments , watching my crapy videos and reading my broken English ....

Konrad, I must say it was quite an adventure for you. I talked to you many times, was happy to hear you got your sponsorship, and thoroughly enjoy kiting and hanging with you. You progressed so fast, it was very exciting watching you go through the paces! You my friend will get another ride for sure! You deserve it. Your passion for kiting is deep and runs through your blood as it does mine!

Good luck my friend getting that new sponsorship, I look forward to the phone call when it comes in! See you soon!

Konrad I have no doubt you will soon be offered a great opportunity to wear a new company logo on you and your HHR. Any company would be lucky to have a rider half as energetic and committed as you are. Best of luck picking the right company for you. I am sure the choice will be extensive. See you soon.

I have been travelling with work and this was great news to come home to. I'm hoping the Sherpa returns to production and now maybe I will get a custom bridle for my 6m worked up too!

As I read about all action taken by Gin company, Gin staff and Team Riders I was sure this is how it ends ....
... most of them decided to work or ride for other companies ....
That why I decided to start my own search for new company that would give me that "good vibe" I have with Gin kites ....
... I am no longer Gin Kiteboarding Team Rider .... since reopened company have new management and surely new contracts need to be sign ....
... It will take few weeks or months before Gin become active and start thinking about team riders here in US ..... I really hope to get some more info soon .... and have chance to ride for them again... and hoping new products will be as good as my 2012 Gin Uru kites and all others that I own previously ....
