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

Melbourne's North & ION distributors, Kite Republic and RPS had 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...

I don't like the graphics of the kite....

Looks a bit childish indeed. I never liked the brand so maybe that is why

The vegas definitely seems to be aimed more at the younger rider, the rebel however is a more refined all round graphic. Didn't manage to get any great shots of it unfortunately. Fuse & Neo aren't in the shots but they're a more refined look as well.
Can't wait to get them out on the water, build quality and new material seems amazing!

Ok then perhaps it is worth testing.
