AFter my 4th place in the singels the wind looked pretty bad and i didn,t expect to ride again, but around 2 o clock the last day the wind came up realy good.

I was power on my 14m and 1 heat on my 12m. First heat to defend my 4th place Local rider Alex Soto , had a good and powerfull heat and past on against Alberto rondina for 3th place, again had a good heat and won over him.  

Next up was Kevin but he was a little to strong for me, eheh next time better! so i finished up in 3th place.

For the it,s quit good didnt have any problems with my knee,s this year here and have a pretty good result. A big respect to the dominican riders there riding so well. pff the do so much tricks.

I have to more 2 days here, get some more training and relaxing. I will fly back home and the next morning will fly again to Tarifa for a week.

The water condition is super choppy,after a full dat of kiting your eyes are filled up with salt water hahah.

For the last 3 years i have been here i always had problems with my knee,s of the choppy water, hopefully this year i keep everything in one piece and have a good result as well.

Ps: enjoy episode 9 of Recorded!

Been quit a time whit out an update from my side. I haven’t been sitting at Home though and doing nothing.

2 weeks ago we had the Brunotti 2011 photoshoot at Mauritus, what a great place. We had wind, wave,s ,sun. And a great time.
Just been there for a week what is way to short , when you are there, travel around the island and you will see amazing spots with nobody there. Clear bleu water and white sand.

Last weekend I spend 4 days at Lago di Garda, where the organized an event with a competition. Champione de Lago di garda.

Slingshot Italy invited me there and I flew over, the place is absolutely stunning, super beautiful. Till about 12a1 o clock there is no wind after the wind starts to pick up and I ride size’s 10/12 and the last 14. Around 5a6 the wind start shifting a bit and it drops as well.

The last day the started with the Pro edition and I had to ride al the way in the end of the day, when the wind was light and gusty. On my 14m I was kind of all right but hard to do some good tricks. Lucky I won as well, so not a bad weekend after all. Had a great time their good food, friendly people and pretty good for kiting.  

Last 4 days I stayed in home to rest a bit before leaving to Cabarete, where I am now. Yesterday I flew from Frankfurt to Puerto Plata.
Not much hassle with the board bags this time, just 40 euro after a quick talk so not to bad. Will be staying here for about 11 days and after will go to Tarifa again.

Wil try to keep you up to date a little from here, but i Am not sure if the internet will work always.

For Recorded we still have 2 more episode,s planned so enjoy it!

Cheer,s
