North 2014 Vegas and Gambler Released!!!

North just released the 2014 Vegas and Gambler!  These are the main two products I'll be riding for the next season and couldn't be happier!  The Vegas has some small tweaks that help performance but the handling feels similar to the 2013!  The Gambler has been totally redesigned and is definitely the best kiteboard I've ever ridder in the park.  It features deeper channels, new thicker construction and a stiffer flex pattern which offers the perfect flex for rails with thinned out tips!  Really stoked on how both of these turned out for 2014!  Check out the Vegas product video below...

West Coastin'

Been a while since I updated this... been pretty busy working on some projects and traveling lots! I was out on the west coast earlier this summer and as always it was a blast!

Besides the obviously awesome Slider Project park, great food, great friends, mountain biking and SUP adventures in Hood River I was also able to take a quick trip with North West Coast rep Dan Schwarz and his family for a demo out in Squamish, BC!  Colleen Carroll and myself hopped in Dan's new Mercedes Sprinter van and headed North!  What a place!  I had heard lots about the "Spit" in Squamish before but had never made it out... they had an amazing setup with flat water, a huge round pipe slider, a kicker and definitely the most beautiful scenery I had ever seen at a kite spot!  Snow capped glaciers on one tack and on the other a huge waterfall... I had never been so content just cruising around!

  

Looking through these photos I'm definitely excited to get back out to the west coast next month!

Contents Page Spread in Kitesurf Magazine

A shot from last fall in Brazil was used for the Contents page in the recent Kitesurf Magazine!  I love the Taiba lagoon and this was from an early morning shoot there with Jason Brook.  Colleen Carroll is buttering on by while I pop a trip flip of the sandbar in front of Jason!
