Wood core R&D

They may never see the light of day as far as production goes but for those interested in all things R&D we are testing some new wood/composite core ideas. Being that some of the woods we are testing are grown in New Zealand (one of the best places to grow trees in the world!), they are environmentally friendly, and less toxic to work with, it will be exciting to find out how our ideas perform/hold up. Anyway we will keep you posted if it works out..

The NZ season kickoff

It is the time of year in New Zealand where there seems to be just non stop wind everyday, so our 07 boards have been getting plenty of use - and the feedback has been awesome(putting together testimonials page very soon). There are 115 stoked riders on dvnt boards now - from which we have had no bad feedback - in fact the very reverse - just riders that have told us that they really are stoked by how our boards ride.

Well summer is kicking in here soon - it might not be board shorts weather yet - but we don't care about cold southerlies - just as long as it stays this windy.

DVNT Cook Islands Trip 06

Well before 5 days ago it was all good - wind every day and some AWESOME spots sessioned. Just the most beautiful spots you could ever imagine; however, on the last day I got what was food poisoning or a parasite (results soon) that put everything in life into comparison.

Sure I have had doses of Bali Belly and what have you, but this was to give me 4 days of absolute hell on earth. Crawled off the plane at Auckland and straight to hospital where they want to stick a drip in me. Then they lost one sample of my blood for testing and when they finally found it they kindly rang me to say that they were concerned with the results... mmm nice. Breaking my arm ,collar bone, and shoulder hurt a fraction of what this did. It feels soooooooooooo good to be on the mend

So have uploaded some photos to gallery at www.dvntkiteboarding.com to show the good times
