Continentseven

Continentseven: You make some big investments. Did it already pay off? Cesare Cantagalli: Pay-off does not come in such a short time. Today the period of investment return has extended to any business sector. But we see that it's working since our brand is growing and the distribution is now consolidating worldwide. We now have to gradually structure our company so that we can support the growth. Continentseven: 99NoveNove has with Kauli Seadi a possible Hookipa winner in the team. Was this fact one of the reasons you decided to sponsor the this year's Aloha Classic? Cesare Cantagalli: The potential of Kauli is undoubtful and we all consider him as being one of the potential winners. There was a number on things which made this a special decision to finally come true. Firstly when we became aware that Aloha Classic was in danger for not being sponsored we felt it would be honorable to support the sport contributing to one the most prestigious events of the year. Secondly, the Aloha Classic could be the perfect target to launch the new KS model, which we have just released a few days ago. Finally, one of the most influential aspect of our sponsorship is connected to a historical moment for me and the brand itself. Continentseven: You just launched the new Kauli Seadi Pro Model. Will Kauli use exactly these boards for competitions and free sailing? Cesare Cantagalli: I think this is a question for Kauli to answer. From my side it's important to let you understand that today we are possibly the only company in position to deliver and produce quality boards made in Italy. The KS model is produced in our Italian factory in "production series" CNC Technology with the option to choose form different rocker line's configurations including his original ones. The KS is what we call superior quality boards Made in Italy.
