hey everyone
caused by the tragic death of andrew johns last month
http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2341049&highlight=andy+andrew+johns
i grabed a new 130x40 xelerator kick 2007 (shaped and produced by andrew) and got as many riders at the PKRA in Germany-SPO to sign it. the board now carries a whole lot of signatures, among others:

mario rodwald
kim albrecht
christine böse
armin harich
pfilip brückmann
rick jensen
silvester rückdäschel
jalou langeree
kevin langeree
jaime herraiz
alvaro onieva
ruben lenten
aaron hadlow
rocky chatwell
robby naish
youri zoon
........
....
..
.




now the reason why i post this here:
i decided to donate this board for a good purpose where i auctioneer the board with all its signatures to collect money for andrew johns family!
the auction is not held on ebay or anywhere else like this. its just community internal! i have started the auction in a german forum ( www.oase.com ) and also posted it in a 2nd one ( www.kitesurfing-kiel.de ) where it now ran for about 24 hours and already reached the price of 650€! all the money that the board brings will be passed on to andrews family! so i am very proud the germans already placed such high bids for the board
toby asked me to link the auction to kiteforum.com to maybe get some international interest in this board-auction!
here is the original link from the german forum:

i guess its all said by now. i hope that you guys get the idea of what i try to reach with this auktion and that you place a bid for the board as well!

lets try our best to honor andrew johns work in south africa!

andrew johns (1967-2007) rest in peace



best regards
oliver
