Thanks for the pics. Awesome! Looks like North had the new Rebels out in force.

Josh good pics and I am happy that you didnt play so much with the color balance/saturation as Erin. I especially like the GG view pic.

Erins photos are still wonderful , no misunderstanding please !!!

Did anyone watch White 13 closely on the hydrofoil (Erin has two pics)? There's one shot of the board and one of him going toe-side, but that's it. I've seen tow-in surfers use them successfully, but never on a kitesurf. Just curious. Thanks.

On second look it appears to be Chip W - was he just demo-ing it? His other shots have a standard directional w/double straps.
