2011 Liquid Force Team / 2011 HiFi Comp

The new website for Liquid Force just dropped along with all the 2011 gear! Looks really nice and clean and it's easy to navigate as well. If you check out the Team Page you can see there has been some new faces added to the LF Family for 2011!

I managed to snag a spot on the International Support Team this year which I'm super stoked on! I still can't believe it... Couldn't be happier to be riding for LF in 2011 and representing Canada! They make the best gear available on the market and in my opinion have the most solid team in the kiteboarding industry. Plus they promote and have pushed wakestyle riding from the beginning and everybody knows it's the raddest stuff out there! Like...

I was also featured in the Official Release for the 2011 HiFi Comp and in the 2011 Product Catalogue as well! They used one of the shots Bryan Elkus snagged during the LF Team Shoot back in May from a session at Kite Point in Cape Hatteras, NC! I'm riding the 2011 Contact and the HiFi Comp (obviously) in the photo! Check it out at www.kiteroam.com

The kite is killer once again this year! Four strut freestyle/wakestyle beast that delivers lots of power, tons of slack but still has good range, relaunch and depower! The Contact is the freestyle board of choice in the lineup this year and replaces the best selling Recoil from previous years! It's really fast, blasts upwind, has loads of pop and comes in at a really nice price point! Check out all the 2011 gear in the Product section on the new site... www.liquidforcekites.com

...and don't forget to check back here for weekly updates! Were coming into the windy season!!!

First Day on the System 2.0 in Sarnia!

Sarnia a town about 2.5 hours from my house just dropped in a Sesitec System 2.0! I've only rode cable once before and have never seen a 2.0 system but I've seen a bunch of videos on the setup and have always wanted to try it out! So my friends Sam Medysky and Dan Steiner drove out to meet up with my girl Tahnee and myself for an afternoon session this past friday! The park was kinda small but the owner Tim was super chill and he was saying that him and his partner have some bigger plans! The towers were really short since they set it up in the water (set up in a marina) instead of on land. This made air tricks nearly impossible but was a dope set up for shredding rails! I'll definitely be going back once my cable board arrives next week! I was riding the 2011 Contact and it worked great but it will be fun to shred this park with a LF flex board!

Check out some of the photos!

Thanks to Tim @ Boarder Pass for hooking up the session! It was a fun day with good friends and good hits! Can't wait for the new A-Frame to drop in! Should be crazy!



Check back soon! Hopefully shoot some footy tomorrow in the slick!
