| North Kiteboarding Mallory Pro 08 Kiteboard |
 |
After turning heads on the PKRA with his
effortless style and cat-like landings,
Mallory has helped develop a board as unique
as his riding style - the North Mallory Pro
08!
Mallory's goal was to develop a board that
had really good pop, speed and upwind
performance.
The North Mallory Pro 08 has loads of pop for
powered-up tricks, because when you don't use
the kite - you need to trust your board to be
sure you are going to land your trick.
Its great upwind and goes fast for people who
like speed also!
Who is the board designed for:
If you want a board that is really
comfortable to ride but at the same time
still be able to squeeze a lot of performance
- the North Mallory Pro 08 is the board for
you to take you to competition level.

| Tribute/Homenaje George Mallory & Andrew Irvine |
 |
George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Irvine were
two English mountaineers who took part in a
British expedition to Mount Everest in 1924.
On the 8th June, both disappeared somewhere
high on the North-East ridge during (or
perhaps after completing) the final stage of
their attempt to make the first ascent of the
world's highest mountain, 29 years before
Hillary and Norgay. The pair's last known
sighting was only a few hundred metres from
the summit. Mallory's ultimate fate was
unknown for 75 years, until his body was
finally discovered in 1999. Whether or not
they reached the summit before they died
remains a subject of speculation and
continuing research.
George Leigh Mallory y Andrew Irvine fueron
unos montañeros británicos que tomaron
parte en una expedicion que se proponÃa
escalar el Everest, en 1924. El 8 de junio,
ambos desaparecieron a más de 8000 metros en
la cara noreste de la montaña. Aún hoy
persiste la duda sobre si consiguieron hacer
cumbre, en cuyo caso, se habrÃan adelantado
en 29 años al primer ascenso oficial, que
llevaron a cabo Hillary y Norgay en 1953. Sus
cuerpos no fueron encontrados hasta 1999, 75
años después de su desaparición.
