Thanks to the partnership with QXI International, ASV Performance has made the biggest breakthrough in the kiteboarding industry by equipping each of the seven Volvo65 ocean racing yachts with kites during the Volvo Ocean Race 2014-2105 Edition.
As designer and manufacture partner in the QXI International run of 'GHQ Rescue Kite', Simone and ASV have proudly worked for several months to provide the Volvo65 with a rescue kite system that could be deployed in case of emergency, improving safety for the teams involved in one of toughest and greatest races in the world.
The Freeride 2 project is a movie that we made as we traveled around the world Kiteboarding in 2013. It follows the lives of Aaron Hadlow, Sam Light, James Boulding and Tom Court as we travel, ride or compete wherever we go. This is the third stop of the movie, in Russia.

PACKED WITH PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING FEATURES AND STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY, THE HIFI-X2 IS THE CHOICE OF CHAMPIONS.
Designed with input from future World Champion Christophe Tack, the HiFi-X2 is the kite of choice for the planet’s most demanding freestyle and competitive riders. Whether you’re into new school technical tricks, massive kiteloops, or old school freestyle, this five-line, true C-kite is engineered to help you evolve and perform like never before. Last year’s HiFi was so good that Tack didn’t want to change much to the 2015 model. However, the HiFi-X2 features a number of subtle refinements, such as a symmetrical panel layout for extended longevity and uniform stretch. Addition- ally, this legendary kite uses less Dacron material, which means less weight, better durability, faster flying, and a slightly crisper feel. Overall you can expect the same high-caliber performance as before: explosive pop, controllable slack, light bar pressure, and a direct, precise C-kite feel. Flying at the center edge of the wind window, the HiFi-X2 features adjustable trailing edge connections for custom turning speed and bar impulse/feedback. Featuring Liquid Force Bomb-Proof Construction, durability will never be an issue, as the kite is engineered to take a beating as you learn new tricks.

It was a windy Summer in Portugal, but we didn´t had that lucky with the waves. The good thing of the small waves was that we could get fun sessions riding strapless freestyle tricks. Some of the days were recorded and here you can see them. Seat down and enjoy the video featuring Paulino Pereira in his Pocket Beaches.
