This board looks different to the K-Race 70. Did he used the Addiction MkIII kite too?

Dont know if your comment is an intended slur on RRd,but it would make sense for the two companies to work together,in what is the only area of the industry with any growth

The new rrd wetsuits are made in collaboration with rip curl.

As in an official production version of the ML board or they are just trying to copy it?

I know Underground was supposed to be making production versions of the ML boards this year, but then they went out of business.

Not a slur on RRD. I just read somewhere that they were trying to copy the winning design of the ML70, and that the K-Rapida rode more like an ML than like the K-Race. Depends on the conditions, probably.
