This week's guest on The Kiteboarder Magazine podcast is the founder of F-One, Raphael Salles. Established in 1996 as one of the first kiteboarding companies in the industry, F-One launched the Bandit, a delta-shaped kite, in 2008 and has dedicated its kite line to this shape for the last few years.

Raphael joined us live from Mauritius as his team and importers demo F-one’s 2011 line and put the finishing touches on a few products. He talked about the changes to this year's Bandit, F-One's new control bar and why he believes in the velcro/pin safety system versus the 'cuff' push system, the company's new two-line kite The Source and a bit about the company's new directional boards and twin tips.

Enjoy!
