Roberto Ricci Designs (RRD) has been around way before kites were "invented" into the mainstream market and Roberto actually worked along side Bruno Legaignoux (the God father of kite surfing - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitesurfing), to help bring kite surfing design to where it is today.

Here are is a great read on some history of this great company and Roberto's incredible desire to try anything, anytime, and in any conditions. That's motivation!

note: This is not meant to be a deliberate plug for RRD. I thought I would share this company's story with you, as it highlights the pioneering efforts and struggles guys went through back in the 70s and 80s to bring us this fantastic sport. I hope you appreciate the talent behind RRD. Do we have a distributor here? Just asking.
