This.

Apart from well established factory - company relationship plus long and proved product range a solid distribution were the greatest duotone assets. NTG has just secured distribution in one move ;)

Like Toby says is not allowed to sell Kites from team rider from Red Bull.

We have one guy who rides Naish with Red Bull on. He was starting with them like beginner and it was fun to see a guy with Red Bull crash so much. (he have Mr Naish old kite and he is a SUP:er and he can kite now) He get the kite because he is sponsored by Red Bull.

To be fair, pat goodman designed the switchblade right? Not that shocking thay it may be similar, considering he is designing them.

Aarons mum does a great job of turning his old kites into bags etc:
