After my trip to the states I had about 10 days back at home before I was heading back out there, this time to the West Coast in Hood River, Oregon. Was nice to be home for a few days to see friends and relax, we had some great weather and wind which are the best days to be on the south coast. Read more ...

Since I was at the SSS I have spent a week in the DOM REP before coming back to the East Coast of the US for our RedBull Roadtrip.

Out in the Dominican it was pretty fun, I was there with Will Milne, our camera man, continuing to shoot for our TV series On The Loose. During the trip I was shooting some pictures, practicing some new tricks and checking out the PKRA. Being at the event and not entering was pretty weird, it was good to see it from a different perspective though. I also managed to learn a couple of new moves, I landed a Moby Dick 5 and almost got the 3 Shifty Blind, thats a frontside 3 then reverse into blind, I have had it in my mind for a while so glad that I am close to that now.

The last 2 days have not been so windy, we ended up chilling most of the day then hitting the slider behind the ski at sunset. I well enjoyed that, it is more like cable and nice to do something a little different.

We have had an epic first few days over here in Cape Hatteras, the Triple-S held here at Real kiteboarding is one of my favorite events, the conditions and rails are so good. I left from London along with Will Milne(Boom Ting Production) who is filming out TV series On The Loose. We met Ruben in Chicago and then took our connection all together to Norfolk. On the first day we had a little warm up in the slick and later in the day sliders. That evening was the opening party, which soon turned into an after party at out house. Yesterday was the first main day and we had some great conditions for it. After a late start we went for a down winder through the slick. I was lit on a 7 with 20m lines and boots, we stopped half way down to film at this one super flat spot, we went for some big Mega loops, which was pretty sketch in boots, but then also some good freestyle in the butter flat water. Later that evening during the sunset we had a slider session, it was set up right foot forward so I was happy to try some stuff that I had been practicing up at Thorp Park Cable whilst I was back home. I got some good hits at first and was having such a good time, I started to get a bit of confidence up so tried some gap 3’s (handle pass over the middle) unfortunately I got one a bit wrong and ended up concussed, at first I couldn’t remember the whole day but now my memory is back and I’m ready for the rest of the week! Can’t wait to see what’s in store. Read more ...

Over the last couple of weeks I have been on the move around europe. It started off with a trip to Lagos in Portugal, I had been there last year and thought it was the right spot to go for a few days of wind. The forecast looked good but when we arrived there was no wind, we decided to go to Tarifa where there was bound to be some. We had a good few days kiting in and around there, the conditions were not amazing but nice to pull a few mega loops again. That weekend was the KBO in Holland at Ruben’s home spot. There was no wind for the event but its was a fun couple of days filming for On The Loose and seeing a few friends. Now I’m back in the UK sorting out my gear and getting ready for the next trip. I had a good cable session today up at Thorp, there are some pictures below, and there should be some wind over the weekend. I am off next week to Cape Hatteras in the States for the Triple-S where we will be hitting rails and filming again for On The Loose. Read more ...

Over the last couple of days we have been competing in the snow kite event that was a long race that accumulated about 75 kms over 5 laps. The course was massive, over hills to as far as you could see. Ruben and I both opted for out biggest kites as we thought that would be the best tack tic to get us up the first hill and off to a good start. As the race started we soon found out how hard it was going to be, it picked up to 25+ so we were lit going onto the hill, once we got to the top it wasn’t deal-able, 35+, super gusty and totally icy. I had so much power and the wind was so turbulent that I couldn’t even stay in the same spot, I don’t think I have ever been so uncomfortable with a kite in my hands. That basically ended our race, I had to opt out and head back. Read more ...

Yesterday was our first day on the snow here in Norway, it is was my first time ever snow kiting and I had such a good time. Getting up and going was easy but popping is pretty weird, after a little while I got it down though. Later Remi, one of the top dudes in the sport, took us to a hill that we could jump off, that was fun! Can’t wait for today.

Check out some pics below and heres a small vid. Read more ...

Here’s a pretty cool interview from the thekiteboarder.com

Just landed in Norway, just waiting for Ruben to arrive before head off to the RedBull Ragnarok. We have come a few days prior to the event to get used to the sport, hopefully we pick it up straight away and be ready for the race. We are filming for On the Loose and now we have some sick camera equipment and a full time Camera man, my mate Will Milne who has been making all my recent videos. The Project +27 is over now, 1.6 was the last one in the series but hopefully I will have a couple of vids coming out from my recent trip to Cabarete in the Dom Rep. Read more ...
