SBC Kiteboard and Kiteworld Coverage!

The new issue of SBC Kiteboard just dropped and I'm pretty stoked on it! Lots of park riding, powered hits and heavy waves! Plus our crew scored a 6 page article on our trip to Maui, a few other shots here and there and Brandon nabbed the cover! Check it out...

One of the many beautiful Maui views!

Some Kitebeach action!

Secrets on the North Shore!

Some more media in the "Kite Camp" section of the mag! Hitting features is getting really popular in kiting and more and more people are getting interested into this side of the sport! Hitting the park with a kite is no joke though, so SBC hit up 7 pro's that are pushing the scene on what to keep in mind while taking your first attempts at hitting a slider with your kite!

There was also an article on the Wind Or No Wind Board Jam at the Camsur Watersports Complex in the Philippines! I was so excited to be invited to this event and to have a chance to be a part of kiteboarding history. One full week of kite and cable, rider judged, no heats and as much water time as you could handle! When we had wind we kited and when it shut off we went and shredded the cable or multiple 2.0 systems! Then at the end of the week everybody voted on who was killing it the most! I've never seen this much progression in such a short amount of time, I'm already jonsing to get back to Camsur and take some laps at CWC again! Lots of content already out from this event and I'm sure a lot more in the future as well!

A little more exposure in the photo section as they do a feature on "jibbing, pressing and bonking" in kiteboarding and how it's blown up in the last few years! The photos from a session Bryan Elkus hit up last spring in Cape Hatteras, switch tail press on the Dock out back of REAL Kiteboarding alongside my budday Eric Rienstra booting a fat BS3, late melon grab off the kicker! Pretty pysched on this too because on the following page the credits for our shots are on the side of a two page spread of one of the guys I really looked up to coming up! Andre Phillip, as always steezing out on the corrogated tube up in the goofy slick!

Eric and I getting down in Cape Hatteras!

Kiteworld Issue 49 also had a little exposure in it too! A few shots from a trip to Brazil winter 2010 with Sam Medysky and Jon Van Malsen! Thanks to David G Tran for shooting that trip!

Not riding but not a bad view, right?

So now I'm at home, catching up with family, friends and sponsors, Getting ready to kick off the summer for 2011!
