Brazil. Yeah I suck!

November 21st, 2008

Just bought a ticket to Fortaleza, I’m leaving next week and will stay there for 3 weeks, I know, going to Cumbuco is a huge sign of lack of creativity as everyone has been there already (yeah I’ve been there 3 times already) but if you really think about it the most important thing is not the spot but the people around you and since Kimi has been bombarding me with some sweet slider pics of him at Cauipe for the last week and Alvaro and Alex are there 2 to film we got a nice little crew together to have some fun… Can’t wait to get out of the 5/3 I’m using here in Spain and jump into a pair of board shorts, do some downwinders and hit the rail…

Kitelife features Legit Jam

November 12th, 2008

You can find the whole story of the funniest event of the year, the Legit Jam on Sylt this Summer, spread on 12 pages in the new Kitelife Issue 9. Only available in Germany though. Hopefully videos will follow, someone is working on them.

Cable Orlando

September 16th, 2008

 Yesterday MJ and I got up at 6.30 to go to the cable with Brian Wheeler from Kiteboarding Magazine. Moe was also supposed to come, but as he didn’t turn up, I was all alone on the water for an hour. They opened the cable only for us, so it was dead flat water, the light was still beautiful and when I felt to the water, I just had to wait and catch the next rope passing by. Some good shots are going into the next Kiteboarding issue. After the session we went straight to the airport and I just arrived in Hamburg a couple of minutes ago. Thanks again to Brian for the cable session, who by the way totally ripped once in the water, doing a pete rose of the kicker and a sick hasselhoff (and that cable is really low)
