Robby Naish:
Was it good for the sport to focus on Unhooked Freestyle and not Big Air for so many years?
It wasn't Robby who was focusing on unhooked freestyle, that's just the direction the sport developed initially due to its similarity to wakeboarding (I think).
Robby & Flash were the king of big air back then...probably still are...and on 2 line kites
I know, I am not blaming him, just would be interesting his opinion as a rider, former champ in windsurfing (and its development there), and company owner.
also curious to hear his thoughts on company competition and R&D. Back then there was so much room for improvement and today it's more in different directions possibly?
Also guys like Dimitri Maramenides and his Epic kite-brand.
These days I prefer to support the individuals behind the brand, rather than the brand itself

Ok. So we're two interviews in. I'll post the surprise 2nd guest this weekend.
Any other suggestions? Some specific questions would be helpful!
I'll interview a few others previously mentioned.

Till Eberle: why the name change, the process until the change, the transition period, and the look now that few years passed by.
