The Loft | Biancotto heli-shoot with Ruben Petrisie

How was it working with a "photo legend" like Biancotto?
"It was fun actually, he was just doing his thing... as you can see on this picture where I do a body drag towards a stalled Helli copter that is about 4 meters above the water surface. With Biancotto sticking his head out he focused the lens and snaps a few shots.

Which size is the sail?
"The sail is a Loft 2007 360Free 5.8"

How is the Kona?
"The Kona surprised me a lot, especially with the double step tail which makes that long board so lose. I was a bit shocked when I carved the board I really did not expect it to carve so easy and fast at all.  During the sailing it felt very comfortable with the DDSA (double density shock absorbers).
In lighter winds- when short freestyle boards wont go- this board still goes! Whether its simple sail tricks, or planing tricks such as duck jibes and so on."

Did the Kona change for 08?
"Nope the same concept is available for 08"
