Kevin was out riding yesterday afternoon at Dolphin on an unbranded white 3 strut delta kite and unbranded harness. Walked down the beach away from everyone to launch- I'm guessing so guys couldn't see the bar and bombard him with questions. Lasse out again on 9m Rebel.
Look, that's news! interesting
That could indicate that it is a new brand!
I do not think going to a new brand would be a good idea for Kevin Langeree since he would be more valuable to a large established brand. He is probably the No 1 Kitesurfer in the world when you take into account social media presence and achievements in the sport. As Toby pointed out Aaron Hadlow (although he probably has greater achievements in the sport from a competition perspective) does not have the same online presence which is free advertising for the sponsor. I would be amazed if he is not riding for one of the top 5 brands at the KOTA.
I agree with you.
But I can actually just state this:
Look at my last post, the linked video, who is sitting left at the presentation...

Kevin and Damien would be a potent starter pack for a new venture. Add some capital and they have a hell of a lot more going for them than say, Eleveight. Wonder if Robby gave them good reference letters ?
On his own, makes more sense to get the gang back together (his sister and Jessie were naish for near eons) under North.
Duotone are full up. Cant really see Kev at SS, LF or Cab. Would be so lame if he just went to Cab.
A player like RRD or F-one ? Not impossible. Wanting to break out of their euro centric pro rider mix and get a little more global. If RRD scooped both Damien and Kev, they could vault themselves right up into the mix.
Whatever, hope Kev gets paid.

I bet Kevin is reading this thread now, saying:
"Well, that escalated quickly"

Funny how one might interpret things differently. To me he looks bored. I will often look like that sitting in meetings listening to something you have heard 100 times before.
Yep, me too.
