Pretty sure that marketing shot is taken from the EVO product shoot, crop the kite out and hey presto!

It’s official then
What magazine is that? It’s weird that Boards and More would put duotonesports.com on the ad, when it’s not even a working website yet...

Yeah Bitches C'mon, grovel.. Allow me... 'Thank you Pinko for enlightening our lives with your brilliance' Never in the field of human posterisation has one poster delivered so much with so little or something like that.

Mind you certainly raised the hit rate on this forum for a while eh Toby? I'll send in my account :wink:

And hey has nobody realised the upside? The Era of Ghey North Riders is finally coming to a close.. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Same kites, same quality, same performance, from the same company but with a different name and logo on them.

If you bought these kites because of the name "North" and the logo on the kites you'll be pissed off at those changing.

If not there's no issue since they'll still be coming from exactly the same company - Boards & More.

Exactly wtf is the issue? Image
