dvnt Teamrider Rachel Cann wins NZ Nationals title
Congratulations to dvnt Teamrider Rachel Cann on taking a well deserved first place in the 2008 NZ Nationals. The lightwind conditions were very challenging with a high degree of fitness in order to be able to run back up the beach to perform tricks. And all this after practising on a 4m kite in well above 30 knots in Perth! Well done.

I took delivery of my new 2008 DVNT kiteboard with the "plug-in" graphics, a couple of weeks ago and I am totally thrilled with my new board.
I started kitesurfing with an expensive international brand name kiteboard and struggled in progressing as a learner to a half decent rider. Andy from Katapolt Kitesurfing loaned me his older 128 X 36.5 (board on the right) DVNT board and in just a few sessions I was able to carve up wind and generally spend more time on the board than in the water. In other words turn my frustrations into hours of fun on the water. A couple of weeks ago I received my new board from Ian at DVNT, a 2008 125 X 38 board. Within two session on the water I am now popping some great jumps.....and landing them. Showing off on the toeside rail and just having a ball. In Gisborne we have some big surf days and when the wind is from the south it can hit 3o knots pretty easy and quite often. This board just loves these conditions. Apart from Andy's great teaching, selecting the right size board for your weight/kitesurfing experience is very important. It can mean the difference between a great day on the water pushing your limits and learning new tricks or just getting more and more frustrated while those around you rip the surf up. If you are in the market for a new kiteboard, don't waste your time or money looking at all the different brands out there, just head straight to DVNT and ask for Ian!
