Photos Samuel Cardenas Copy Jaime Herraiz OVER TWO DECADES OF KITE DEVELOPMENT We have been around the kite industry for quite a while and have seen many technological steps in the kite business, leading to the level of performance we know today. As a brand, we have come a long way. And while reminiscing about the old times, we wondered how it would feel to fly a kite from back in the days, from the beginnings of kiteboarding, compared to a kite from today. It was quite a challenge to actually find someone who still had such an ancient kite in his cellar. But we got lucky. Steven Buchholz, a dedicated kite collector, was able to equip us with a 2001 Torro. So we asked Jaime Herraiz, an institution at Duotone Kiteboarding, to fly both the Torro 2001 and the EVO 2023. 2023 2001 P R O G R E S S
