They are linked to their vision: building good kite products with a soul. Bernd Jochum has been successfully combining Management and Sport to winning concepts for years. Now, he is finally doing it for its own brand. Alex Schwab (Product Manager) is Snow-Kite world champion in the 2003 race and is counted among the top 3 Freestylers. He wants his knowledge and experience in the scene to be delivered in a straight- forward way. At JN this is possible. Michael Nelser (Designer) built the majority of our world champ kites. With the Debut-Kite of JN, the Wild Thing, he is touching new ground. Successfully. Christa Flora (Creative Director) is responsible for positioning the brand and the product in the market through classic advertising, PR and web. And besides, she makes people feel the JN-philosophy - with passion.
