After a 10 days photoshoot up in the Gorge with the Slingshot Family. We had some good winds , and we went to a lot of nice spots, flat ,choppy, wave,s we did it all. It was my first time up in the gorge and i loved it! it,s really pretty and the wind is good a little gusty but thats alright. Would like to give an extra Thanks to Tony and Heidi for the hospitality, cheer guys. We had a great 10 days, had a lot of fun with the SS family hahah. Big as monkey buisnnes. 2 days a go i flew back home in the morning, and the next morning(so yesterday) i arrived at Amsterdam, but my next flight went again at 2o clock so i went to mystic to hang out and drop some kite,s Went back again to the airport and go on the flight again to Mallorca this time, where i am invited for a big event , that is already happening for the last 5 years.

Arriving at Mallorca i was really tyred but i had to wait in my hotel room for my girlfriend to arrive, witch arrived at 11 in the night. Today we had a chill day hanged around at the event , but in the afternoon it start raining so we went back to the hotel and_YZP8704 chilled out. Maybe tomorrow we will wakeboard a little bit or kite depends on the wind but i think it,s not going to happen. Monday early morning i will fly to Tarifa for 1,5 day an than back home again!

Bussy.

Also lately i brought out my own website for my Pictures , it’s more like a portfolio website. Still building it up. check yzpictures.nl.

Big Thanks to www.daarom.com webdesign Noordwijk for hooking me up with the page.

Ciao, Youri

Gorge 2009

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Hey guys whats up

Have been a while from my last update out of Germany. After Germany i went back home and stayed there for a bout a week, took care of some stuff._YZS7943Angela went already back to Tarifa, so i was thinking of going there as well. So i did and went there for a week. Had some good winds, al days where levante and strong had some nice kite and windsurf sessions. Al with al i had a realy good time there, unfortunatly i could not stay longer because i had to go to USA for the RPM 2, to test and fotoshoot. So of we go, i asked my dad to come as well to the Gorge and ofcourse he wanted it. At arrival at the airport we didn,t had to paiy anything for my boardbag, witch is quit unusual .But the knew to tall me that our economy seats where over booked and we had to ask at the gate for the seats. So at arrival at the gate we meet a good friend of us who is working in The airport and he was like a let me have a chat so he did and he came back with some buisnes elite boarding cards, eheheh sweet! Damm what a luxury is that, champage, nice steak and the chairs sweet! Our flight took 10 ours and was a straight on. At arrival the picked us up from the airport and we drove directly to the coast where the predicted some wind,these place is very nice! some nice wave,s as well only the water is freezingly cold, i geuss around 5degrees or so. Luckly the outside temp was warm. The wind didnt realy worked that good but we ride a little bit. The next day after a good sleep , we had some energy again and we drove to an other spot but the wind didnt work out and we drove back to SS main spot Hood river. We had a nice diner at tony,s place who kooked some nice and spicy chiken for us, heheh sweet! Today the wind looks very promissing so hopefully we get some nice riding done.

Cheer,s Youri
