Christian Labbe (CAN), Nobile Pro Team: The RC2000 is a real weapon for snowkite races. The large width allows me to reduce binding drag when edging in snow, while the short nose is cutting the snow instead of pushing it. The large side cut and the stiffness provide stability at high speed and incredible upwind capacity. All of those benefits in a lightweight board allowed me to kick ass during Red Bull Ragnarok (6th) in Norway and during the Quebec Snowkite Race Series (1st)!
