Hey Friends,

In the middle of December, the wind dies in the northwest of Brazil, and letting come the clouds for the rain season.So we are pretty much done in here, we have been working hard the past month, shooting all over the place and pushing a lot other disciplines that definitively counts to contribute for the sport, like wakeskating and strapless surf, there is so much empty fields on this disciplines, that it’s fun to innovate new tricks on this ones…I’m stoked with the stuff we got it in here, so many different places, new tricks, and the most important one, the variety…  now its time to edit it with a classic ROCK ‘N Roll song!.

Once again, we were scoping different points for kitesurf all over the coast, and we decided it was time to hit one place in Tabuba, were our friends owns a great restaurant pretty modern right on the point, its a power beach break right in front of the shore,so it was great to film it on the sunset, with the sun in the back. We got a couple of good turns, specially from Dani, he just smack the wave so hard that it looks insane. Read more ...

Today, the sun came out bringing some good light and good wind, so we drove all the way to the classic Taiba lagoon pretty early in the morning to get a Regular sess in the  flat water, and then it came the killer kicker sess in front of Taiba Village called Taibinha.The tide was high, and the sun in the back, perfect timing to get the action right in the middle of the Palm trees, and kickers breaking up glassy, so it was super fun to ride it in there and for the next days the ties are proper to hit it again, at least two times more, so we will make sure we have all the sickest action coming out from there, the beauty of this place it never ends… Read more ...

Hey yo,

The wind season here is reaching the end, now that we are in the middle of December, the winds are blowing lighter and swells are rolling more often so its being a good opportunity to have decent waves to surf with and without the kite. Today we drove down to the most famous place here to catch waves with the kite, Pecem.

The waves weren’t so big, but still was enough to have a fun session with all my country mates, its always lovely to hang out with the people you really know, always kidding and playing around. Read more ...

After being riding for awhile the last days in here and having half video in the back, it was a day for rest and do a very important thing for the vid, lifestyle shots, so I and my mate Dani Alvarez, a local boy that that i recruited, has some roots in skate and surfing background, so to film with him its like I’m filming myself, good understanding, we got a perfect sunset, clear skies, green light for filming interviews and funny stuff that is going to come out soon, also in my interview i kind of revealing myself into whats going on with the kite industry, big brands and specially people that never felt the sport in the heart, don’t want to mention names… has my riders of the sport underpaid and that touch me pretty deep…I will reveal myself in the right moment, to have the power enough to accomplished our tight mission, to be recognized as a serious boardsport.

Hey Folk, Enough with the gay jokes,

It’s has been awhile that im in Brazil, enjoying a lot my time here, conditions are every single day perfect so it helps a lot to have all the tricks in the bag for the video shooting, at the moment im pushing alot wakeskate manouvers, now that i stop competing i can push this discipline and rising it up with the sport. On this past weekend we were scoping new beaches for wakeskating, with cool backgrounds and super flat spots,  im stoked couse today I landed my first FS big spin, pretty sick i catch it in the air at 90* after the 360shov and then slide around to fakie, it feels so good when you land something new because it is sooo technical. So yeah we are on the trail, Read more ...

Hey friends,

I was kind of off for awhile, i actually needed some time off of kiting and do other stuff, my mind was to much under pressure with the contests, i did for seven year in a row, so i think i deserved to stop a bit.

Now im back to Brazil to get back with a fresh mind and Just got my new board pro model with balance for 2010, we are really stoke with the result including this year the “titanal” a titanium metal under the abs on the tips that it really look sick. An the design inspired in the dye die tendencie that is rollin again into boardsports, mixing up all the colors of the rainbow it has a really straight contact with the basic nature. Read more ...
