Undercover Gangster of the Canaries!

Since our secret agent has been uncovered we decided to let you know a little about him. His codename is Fadi. After he left Maui he went deep undercover and started a satelite branch of the Rabbit Gang in Fuertaventura. He was so good the government started taking interest in his activities so he decided to "come in from the cold"...

Lou says: "Fadi was one of the very first kiteboarders ever. He was equally a pioneer as those who got the credit for starting it all. He was less eager to jump in front of a camera for interviews and act like a 13 year old girl who just got her braces off about this new flying sport. He was more interested in riding and morphing a snowboard style into kiteboarding, as you can see in the early movies."

Fadi says: "To be in the Gang with Lou, Franz, Niccolo and Bertrand brings me right back to Kite Beach and makes me feel good! I remember when we first started kiting together, what a mess! Back in da day Lucifer had his own ideas about what could be done with a kite and board, a true pioneer and legend of the sport. He paved the way for the modern kiteboarder. A true soul man and a funny mothaf***a with a wicked imagination too...the only guy that had a clue was Lou.

I'm stoked to be riding and working for Wainman Hawaii, to represent Lou and Da Rabbit Gang here in the Canaries is something that I am proud to do as a rider and as a friend. Hey Lou, the Rabbits are taking over the Canaries...see you guys here soon and lots of Aloha, Fadi".
