 | COLIN MCCULLOCH Kitesurfing lost a true character a few weeks ago when Colin McCulloch sadly passed away after suffering from a brain tumour. Responsible for the entire Airush twin-tip range, as well as a lot of the surfboards for the last 6 years, he also shaped boards for the five time world champion, Aaron Hadlow and ran his incredibly successful cult custom brand, Lost Cause. Famed for always telling it like it was and for his incredible passion for shaping, some of those who worked closest with him and knew him best remember him in issue #42. For now, read an interview we did with him in issue #15, which shows Colin as he was, an absolute classic in every way. CLICK HERE TO READ COLIN'S FEATURE |
 | LE MORNE-ING MADNESS K-Dubya editor Jim Gaunt was lucky enough to spend a week in the sun for the F-One dealer meeting in Mauritius last month. As well as taking a load of holiday snaps, he also nipped up to the point where local rider, Nico (left) was fanging out some dirty old kite loops. It would be rude not to have a peek at the filth...
