dvnt Newsletter Jan 2009

Happy new year , just bring us more wind please. It is all good being warm and sunny but after a while with no decent wind that is quite enough.

Maybe teamrider/ripper Hendrick Gavelle jinxed the wind due to fracturing his neck at about the time it disappeared (doing a mobe in very shallow water -head first). Well Hendrick seems to be well on the mend probably just in time for the return of decent wind! Carry on healing fast.

Respect goes out to teamrider Mike Cann for recently going to the aid of a drowned jetskier at Muriwai (NZ), sadly the rider did not make it; however, not without a huge effort from all those involved. Be safe.

We will be checking out Rottnest Island off the coast of Western Australia very soon, and also Melbourne so look forward to reporting back all about their riding potential.

We have the NZ Nationals coming up from the 5th to the 8th Feb 2009 in Christchurch, and it will be great to see if dvnt teamrider Rachel can defend her nationals freestle title.


For 2009 we offer these tried and tested shapes

dvnt softgoods ie clothing

We will be printing a whole variety of new t shirts and hoodies very soon with a more broad range of full colour prints available. We will continue to focus on dvnt on being an allround board riding brand as kitesurfing is just one of many board sports that dvnt represents. As well as being obssesive kiteboarders our teamriders are also into surfing, snowboarding, towsurfing, skateboarding, wakeboarding and of course travel - what could be better?

Thankyou to all our customers and teamriders for 2008 -2009, in helping us to build awareness of dvnt. Have an inspiring and fun 2009.
