Windwing is dead, long live windwing
Hood River, OR, May 22, 2006 - Windwing is pleased to announce a new production schedule for their 2006-07 line of inflatable kites and windsurfing sails. Production is currently underway in China and Sri Lanka with a committed schedule for many years to come. All Windwing sails such as the Bash and Hammer are now available for immediate delivery while kites and bars will be available the first week of June 2006.
With this new production, a NEW line of user-friendly kites called the Rampage (see next release), as well as our proven and popular high-aspect performance kite, the Rapture II will be produced. The NEW and improved Rage II will certainly be in the line-up along with the extreme high-jumping Outrage model. Our popular and revolutionary extended range Cruise Control and B-Safe kite bars will be available for delivery shortly.
"After 24 years, the delay in production has been hard on the company." Said John Chao, owner and director of Windwing, "It has however helped us to re-structure and re-define our priorities as a viable business within this dynamic and ever changing sport."
The re-structure has not affected the root values of the company. Customer service has not wavered, nor shall the product quality and affordability. Gone are the high maintenance and temperamental aspects of the business and sadly, the prestigious but low-income generating aspects of Formula Racing sails.
There are also changes in Windwing's design philosophy. A new generation of young, energetic, talented and dedicated designers has been enlisted to maintain Windwing's reputation and "quest". Heading the team is Boarding Bob Wendler who was the instigator of Windwing’s kite program in the beginning. Being the conscience, backbone and an unsung hero of Windwing's achievements, Boarding’ has the uncanny ability to define common sense. Together with designers Hawk Dobbins and David Comp, Windwing’s R&D is in good hands. They will carry on the tradition; carry out the philosophy, with state-of-the-art technology and a fresh new conviction.
The philosophy is simple: Proven reliability, consumer satisfaction and loyalty.
We appreciate the many supportive Windwing customers of the past 24 years — those loyal and supportive of us in the past six months. We look forward to another 24 years of leadership within the windustry.
