Fuerte Training and Shooting done.
Fuerte was successful!!! We had a great time, loads of shooting done and training as well even if it was tough to combine both because of the tiredness and days seemed to get every time shorter, we had barely time relax and digest our food… but worth it.
Firstly I was with the whole North team for the new material shooting, we had the chance to ride on most of the new boards and kites which I have to say are great. I'm sure some will think: "what else could he say when it's his sponsor material he's talking about", but then just wait to see and try the new Vegas, absolutely insane!!! The boards are really good looking and also great for riding. The 2010 bar has some new features which are quit nice, even safer for everyone but a big advance for me as a freestyler in term of security…
Then most of the team left and it was time to start our training together with some other riders such as Cesar Portas, Alex Pastor, Jo Ciastula, Soufiane Hamaini and Gianni Aragno. After that some of us had to leave because of events we have to attend and some others stayed… Lucky they because training there with Kuky (Luis de Dios) is a really cool thing, he's an artist who dedicated his life to sports and art… Well, the thing is that he really shows us what real training is about, you sweat your shirts like you've never done it before and you understand what exactly is to be completely stiff and in pain because of training the day before… But as we always say, it's worth it!!! and we enjoyed a lot the training in group because we had much fun! We also took advantage to film and take some nice action and training pictures.
Now I'm in Tarifa just for some days and then I'll be heading to Marseille to attend the Orange Massilia event for a little comp/show… hopefully it's nice and we can show what kiting is all about to the crowd!!!
Cheers, here some pics.
