Technical Snowboard Goggles: GPS, Bluetooth, Android and more!

And you thought those Recon-Zeal Transcend goggles from last fall were hot stuff. Truth be told, they still are, but Recon Instruments' plans for the future make the present seem downright mundane. 
The big news here is that the revised platform will be based on Android, enabling developers to craft apps and in turn, owners to customize their GPS-enabled goggles in ways not previously possible. Moreover, the technology will be available separately from the company's own eyewear, with a "snap fit" version ready made to work with Uvex, Alpina and Briko products. Wearers will then be able to navigate through the interactive LCD in real-time with the use of a wireless remote, and Recon hopes to eventually craft the first pair of goggles with a real-time navigational system. You'll also get Bluetooth capabilities, allowing users to connect with their smartphones and see their music playlists, caller ID and text messages. Head on past the break for the full rundown, and do your best to not get those hopes too high. As if it's not too late for that already.

Underground Kiteboards 2012 Now Available!


At Underground, our obsession is maximising the freedom of boardriding.
All you need is your secret spot and the right conditions plus an Underground board to experience the smoothest flow of free-riding. Nothing will accelerate your riding ability faster.

How do we support you ?
Precise flex is the core performance feature of a kiteboard and when correct, can actually improve the progression of your riding style.
The Underground FLX range transformed many riders, and has become a well-known benchmark.
We‘ve continued experimenting with flex and have implemented Dynamic Flex & Torsion Control throughout our entire range in 2011.

How does it work ?
The principles of Underground’s Dynamic Flex & Torsion Control:
› Organic board shapes twist naturally with outlines and proportions in harmony
› Precise concaves improve acceleration and maintain speed comfortably
› Shaped rails and tucked-under edges increase grip and performance
› Carbon spines settled in Paulownia wood combine their strengths for controlled torsion
› Balanced thickness distribution is the key to smooth, rider-controlled dynamic flex
› Secret layers of special UGD ingredients and materials work together in unity

More to say?
All the industry buzzwords like lightweight durability, specially selected materials, impact resistance and sustainability, etc. can be taken for granted with every Underground board. We provide the full package.

North Fuse 2012 Preview



The 2012 North Fuse Kite is a dedicated free-ride / wave kite that already sparked the future of 4 line performance. The 2012 North Fuse Kite is a different kind of free-ride / wave kite with a huge wind range, light, predictable feel and great jumping qualities. The 2012 North Fuse Kites unique and simple Attack Control Bridle gives the 2012 North Fuse Kite smooth, reactive steering that is especially evident when de-powered, making it a huge step forward in terms of manoeuvrability and directness on 4 lines.

Kite Line 2012 North Fuse Kite
Additionally, the new AC Bridle gives you the ability to safely and completely de-power the 2012 North Fuse Kite on its back similar to a 5 line system. Easily accessible lowend power and extreme resistance to back-stalling gives the 2012 North Fuse Kite great light wind capabilities while the AC Bridle ensures direct de-power and a crisp bar feeling even in strong winds with easy push and pull power. The 2012 North Fuse Kite is built to last utilizing the newest Technoforce canopy material D2 – already since the first generation of the 2012 North Fuse Kite – that is more resistant to tearing than conventional material. Lazy pump simplicity will get you on the water quickly and easily when it counts. To ensure a 100% safety solution the 2012 North Fuse Kite can also be flown on the 5th Element if desired.

First Image! Shin Gintronic 2012/2013

This is the first and only image of the 2012/2013 version of this years very popular Shinn Gintronic. We don't have any info on this yet apart from this image of the board sporting its fancy new graphics. But we think its specs will be similar to last years:


Shinn Gintronic 2011 Specs:
The all new Gintronic is so ridiculously easy that some might call it cheating.  Bi-lateral flex mould, exaggerated constant curve rocker, super tolerant outline, the Shinn Gintronic defies chop, flies upwind and planes on a summers breeze whilst all the time allowing you to think about what YOU want to do and not what your board ALLOWS you to do.
This board refuses to be categorized, it’s not freestyle and it’s not freeride, can we call it the worlds first funride board?
Directed towards any level of kiter who wants to ride and play, Gintronic fills a previously open slot in the Shinn range - with no strings attached

- Squoval mould for full contact control in all conditions
- Constant Curve Rocker with Progressive Concave
- Balanced outline in full range of widths
- 57 mm Hi-visibility G-10 swept freeride fins
-  3-D adjustable footbed system
- Spray free riding in all conditions
- Mostly Alabasia Wood core
