Ralf Grösel On The Intriguing Beings Podcast – There Are Enough Hours In The Day – Season 02 Episode 02 Words by Rou Chater 1 min read
Read Rou Chater sits down with Ralf Grösel and talks all things kite design as they discuss what it’s been like to create some of the most iconic kites in the industry such as the Dice and Vegas from Duotone. Ralf is an incredibly interesting guy and the conversation starts with how he got into computer-aided design at a very young age, spurred on by a desire to fly paragliders!
Words by Rou Chater Rou Chater has been kitesurfing for over twenty years and has spent much of that time travelling the world in search of wind, waves, and stories. The founder and publishing editor of IKSURFMAG and Tonic Magazine, he has been involved in watersports media since the early days of kitesurfing and launched IKSURFMAG in 2006. A passionate waterman, he spends as much time as possible wingfoiling, prone foiling, kitesurfing in big waves, and exploring new ways to get on the water. When he’s not behind a keyboard, hosting The Kite Pod and The Foil Pod, or testing the latest equipment, you’ll usually find him chasing wind and swell somewhere around the coast or further afield. He’s also known as the hardest-working journo in the industry!
