This volcano and I are probably not going to be friends anymore!! I again lost a flight, so it took me 3 days to finally make it here to Cabarete! But it was cool as I spent a day visiting Barcelona and then a night in Miami with my team mate Reno Romeu and his friendly brazilian friends!

We’ve been shooting here with the team for the Vegas 2011 and boards which I already rode in Tarifa as we had a little testing time and as every year I’m excited to ride my brand new kites. Ralph, the North designer, made a great job and the kites is again working very good. Plus graphs are quite punk and stylish for newschool riding!

In Tarifa we had a couple of good days, a bit of waves came in and I took advantage to play with my freestyle fish for some strapless. Jan Marcos Rivera, the current world champ was there and we had a little session together, it was nice to see his strapless kiteloops… Kristina Bott took some cool pics once again!
Youri, Angela, Alex and Sam Light were also there, so it was nice to see everyone at home.

Now the shoot is over for me and I’m on my way to New york for a day to visit, and next day we’ll fly to Oahu. Forecast is looking very good and we’ll be traveling around the island to check how the spots look like. Hopefully we get some good swell.

Cheers,
