Asnews this week: Toby’s N America tour and new forum stuff!

PODCAST #112:

This week, Toby Braeuer of Kiteforum.com joins host Ryan Riccitelli on the ASnews.net and The Kiteboarder Magazine podcast. Due to the time difference between the US and Europe, this week’s show will be prerecorded but you can still post your questions here and we will ask them for you!

Toby has some exciting news to share about upcoming changes on kiteforum.com, kiteforum.tv and kitebeaches.com. He will also be joining the Nobile North American tour as Mark Shinn and his team hit beaches and lakes throughout the US and Canada, introducing their new kite and 08 board line, and will be telling us a bit about their plans.

Got a question for Toby or want Nobile to try and make a stop at your beach? Post your questions here by 3pm PST, Thursday April 24 and we will ask your questions for you. You can then download the podcast anytime after Friday and listen to the show at your convenience at http://www.kiteforum.tv" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, http://www.thekiteboarder.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, and http://www.asnews.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Geek question. How much storage space on your web servers and what sort of bandwidth does kiteforum consume per month?

Oh and consider this an invite to come to Canada to Ontario!

[Toby]

we didn't answer your question in the interview, so here some stats:

per month:

the forum alone uses 200 gb traffic and has about 4.5 mio page views.
kitebeaches uses about 40 gb traffic and has about 1.3 mio page views.
kiteforum.tv uses over 3tb (terra byte!, that is 3000 gb) traffic and has about 1 mio page views.

I have 3 different servers for all sites.

Not sure if we make it to Ontario, but if we do, I'm looking forward to meet you personally!
Just keep an eye on the tour plan, being posted on April 30th.

Sorry MoBettah. Missed your question but glad that Toby answered it for you!

Toby, when will the schedule be posted for Nobile?

[Toby]

within the next days.

We will be in Miami on May 1st. That's for sure.

I hope we will have wind, so I can meet many people I already know and hopefully once I will get to know!
