Update 3/13: Major apologies! Last night our streaming company went down and we had to reprogram everything to get the live feed going. Due to the time delay to make this happen, this videocast has been rescheduled for tonight at 6p PST. If you can't make the live interview, the videocast will be posted as soon as we receive the tapes from Vari Kites/Oahu and can edit:) Should be toward end of next week/weekend at the latest......

Jeff Tobias was one of kiteboarding's original pro riders.

PODCAST #141:
This week, host Ryan Riccitelli of The Kiteboarder Magazine and ASNews.net, will be interviewing Jeff Tobias of Vari Kites, LIVE in a videocast interview from Maui. Jeff will be introducing Vari Kite’s first production kite, the Condor One, a 4-line hybrid which will be introduced for the first time at the Pismo Beach KiteXpo demo event in California, March 28 and 29 (see http://www.xtremebigair.com/kitexpo for info).

Got a question for Jeff about the new company, kite or what’s coming down the line? Now’s your chance to ask one of kiteboarding’s first pro riders why he chose to join Vari Kites, how the company plans on differntiating itself in today’s competitive market and more.

* Date: Thursday, March 12
* Time: 6p PST (California), 9p PST (New York)

Note: Podcasts #139 and #140 (Peter Steiwe on new Best Kahoona and Mauricio Abreu on new travel spots discovered/LF board program) have been delayed due to poor internet connections and conflicting schedules. We are trying to reschedule and will post updates on our weekly podcast blogs…..
