Shooting a Movie

April 3rd, 2008

choice tarifa GraffitiSince my arrival in Spain a month ago, I’ve been spending a lot of time together with Alvaro Onieva and Alex Pastor in and around Tarifa, riding on bindings, straps and even the wakeskate and filming a lot for our movie ‘Choice’. The filming has been a lot of fun and success so far, we’re all putting a lot of effort into the project and I can happily say, that this movie will not only be about tricks. As we’re all gonna compete at the PKRA in France next week, we’ll start a mini road trip in my sisters camper after-tomorrow, pure hippie style, hehe. We’ll try to visit some nice spots on the way to France, like La Manga for kiteboarding and Barcelona for skateboarding. Once the PKRA in Leucate is over, we’ll continue filming in Venezuela. The release date should be shortly after the PKRA there. Stay tuned, probably there’s gonna be a Teaser online soon. Thats all for now, Im out!

Poniente and Levante

October 26th, 2007

Today I went back to Marbella, Tarifa was awesome, it was literally windy every day from the 18th till today! First we had some nice Levante days in “Balneario” and then some brazil-like Poniente days at the lagoon. I staid in house of Jo Ciastula, and between the kite sessions it was eating, partying, studying and playing tony hawk underground 2 with Alex, Youri, a bunch of German junior riders and many more. All in all a funny week.

Tarifa, the place to be

October 17th, 2007

On Monday I went to Tarifa and had a funny session with the gustiest Levante (East-Wind) in Valdevaqueros ever! Davey Blair who happened to come over to Spain for two days and I went for some moves before the conditions got unridable. On Tuesday I met up with Kim, Mario, the local crew and a bunch of German riders at “Balneario”. This is the most radical and beautiful spot here, Offshore wind, flat water and rocks, no rescue boat. Alex Pastor was on with some serious Kiteloop Handlepasses, Youri looped the shit out of his Revs on a surfboard and Kim showed some high profile Nuclear Frontroll to blinds in his bindings. All in all a fun session! At the end of the day I had to go back to Marbella, but tomorrow I’m on my way to Tarifa again, this time to stay there for a week or more.
