Asnews this week: A new era for designer Simone Vannucci

[marina c]

PODCAST #79:

This week, Asnews.net interviews pro rider and designer Simone Vannucci, formerly of RRD. Simone just branched out on his own this year and is gearing up to roll out Royal Kiteboarding's first product line up, mid next month. He joins us to talk about his new company and its first products, the Era kite, the One board and the 6'2" Wave surfboard.

Simone has designed a new kite that he says, defies any classification. He says it is simply a tool for self-expression and a product of kite evolution that people won't believe until they try.
