After 40 minute’s we arrived in cumbuco at the windtown resort.
I’ve seen the windtown resort a couple of years ago when they where still building, and I was truly amazed by it, everything is so nice, im almost on the beach, nice pool, chill lounge, bar even Jacuzzi and massage pool table and I can continue. It’s like paradise.
We took a nice sleep and we woke up at 7,30.what is quit all right with the jetlag a stuff.
And ofcource the wind was ON already perfect for 9.
So I went out in front of windtown for like 1 hour. than rest and chilled a bit .
After we went to the Laguna where everything is happening.
The level from the riders I getting higher and higher! so I got pretty pumped up and when for it and frontmobe pass and mobe7 and stuff are going better and better after 4/5 months NO kiting.
Owya, now it’s BBQ time

Wake up, and yes again wind.
We where a bit tired for yesterday, long day of kitting jetlag and stuff.
Today we went again to the Laguna and trained a lot again, im landing more and more new tricks, so im making a lot of progress and fast!
Tonight we will go to Fortaleza to eat sushi (it’s one of the trips that Wind town is making, every night there is a different theme for dinner) so we will have too much sushi ha-ha.

PKRA Tarifa day one:
Everyone is just back of Cabarete or we se again on the beach of the windy Tarifa.
We had the registration in the morning and the start in the afternoon.
I was in the 4th heat but I had a bay because there where 30 riders so he first 2 of the ranking had a bay so Aaron and me.
I have to ride tomorrow against my fellow teammate Nick Jacobsen out of Denmark.
I still have big problems with my knees (watch the pica) its really swollen and I can hardly walk but I give it a try and start and see what’s going to happen.
|
PKRA day two:
The win turned in the night to levante, so I mean strong wind.
I arrived on the beach and it was already like 35 a 40 knots.
I pumped my 5 and 7.normaly I would go with 7 but now I have my knee injury so I went with 5 not so powerd, it tried but it absolutely Didn’t work out.
So I stop I didn’t kite my heat. This is Pkra tarifa for me.
In the end the wind picked up to 60 knot’s and we saw judge kite loops from Ruben and Aaron made a kiteloop, not one not a triple but 5 kiteloops, it was insane.
A lot of sick things today and tomorrow the will continue.

PKRA day 3:
Skippers meeting at 12 o clock.
Well I woke up at 11.30 but I wont kite anyway, cause of my knee injury.  So we drove to el playa and we saw there was strong wind again, I mean really strong wind. Probably were going to wait till the end of the afternoon, cause they forcasted the wind will drop a little bit.
At 3 o clock they gave it a go, first heat was nick against Cesar and nick won. Second was Kevin against Mallory and Mallory won the Semi finales. Ruben and Aaron where going insane with doubles and triples kite loops.
In the end the result was like this:
Aaron hadlow
Ruben lenten
Mallory vilemarqeu
Nick jacobsen

Hallo bungalow,
So I went to Texas But I had to go straight to Thailand for the Brunotti photo shoot for the 2008 summer collection.
I landed 8.25 in the morning at Amsterdam and Sander picked me up because we had to fly from dusseldorf (germany), so Sander and Meike where waiting for me outside the airport. We loaded the gear in Sanders car and went to amersfoort to the main office of brunotti.
We had lunch there with everyone who was going on the shoot.
Eline starink; photo model
Meike Bisschops: photo model
Sander Lenten: kite rider
Jinne Sietsma: mental coach
Lonneke Mulder: team manager
Joris Lugtigheid: photographer
Et si moi: kite rider
And than we went to Thailand bankok, of course we had to pay a lot for the overweight.
We had a perfect flight I slept all flight like good 9 hoursss, from bangkok we flew to krabi.
Next morning we started the photo shoot, we made longs days from 7 in morning till 12 clock in evening. The boardshorts of the new collection are really cool!
We rented a longtail boat and went for an island, was really cool, took a lot good shots. next day we did the same, the day after we went to Ko Phi Phi and we went for some snorkeling, and see a lot of good fishhh, Jinne even shot couple of good ones.
We also took some pics under water (and of the girls in bikini. Niiiiize!).
And the last day we traveled form Phi Phi to bangkok and now I am in the plane to go back home again.
Preparing for the KBO hehhe

Well it all started with Rocky and Lex. Rocky told me that the spot is really good! Sooo I said maybe I will stop by some time.
Than Lex my buddy told me he was going there alone and said; hey mayby you wanna come too? I said hell yeah, but than Lex broke his neck  (what sucks big time, but he will recover just fine) and now i have to go alone...
I booked my ticket amsterdam/ atlanta/ corpus christsi and I had a really good flight only had to pay 20 euros for my boardbag overload, so that was good. Finally after 20 hours of travelling I got to tex/corpus christi! My room is insaaaaane its big and my bed is like a 2 person kingsize bed  awesome.
The people are cool as well, everybody was interested on the airport as well. Curious what I was about to do. I met 2 really nice Dutch people and one guy from corpus was cool. In the hotel I went for diner and had my diner with Shamn, Jessie and dad Richman what was cool because I hadn't seen them for like 6 months.
This morning i met up with Madi and Gerri again and immediately we had soo much funn. More soon

Building boards? Not a problem for me! Why? I went for two days too one of the best shapers of the world Jinne sietsema from Brunotti boards.
Jinne asked me to come over and watch how he makes the boards, soo i did and it was really cool.
The first day we did a couple of steps and the second day we did the next steps and it is really nice to see how he makes a board.
After the first day Caron cooked a realy nice meal with chicken, thank you. After that I was sleeping on the coutch and there where to little cats and they were walking over me an making a lot of noise. Was really funny.
Wilson Taveras was also there, for 3 days in holland. It was cool that I could see him after such a long time. He is starting his own adventure company, soon more in this site. The name will be 'willy's adventure'.
Greets youri
and thanks to Jinne and Caron

I'm off to brazil 
No cumbuco this time @ Brasil but Joa Passoa! A spot about 3,5 hours drive to the south from Natal. That's where they will keep the last pkra stop.
We have been here now for 4 days and we have had 3 days of wind. The wind is a bit shitty and not very strong, only around 15 knots, just enough for your 12. But a lot of people say that the wind can be really good here so we will wait and see.
Today was the registration and tomorrow the first day of compettion.
First day of competition:
Not much wind but oke, they started, cause the rest of the week was even worse! First heat I was up against damien leroy and had an oke heat, so I past. Then against Etienne Lothe, had a really good heat and through again. Then i was up against Rui Meira... only Rui was riding really good.... and i lost... but i won the loosers final so i was 3rd after a single elimination.
Next day we did the doubles en i had to wait all day, as I was way up the ladder. Finally it was Cesar Portas again only Cesar was ripping and riding very strong, I lost... The wind was so crappy i was riding a 17 feul of 2005 hahaha. But i am 4th now and 3rd in the overall in the 2006 ranking So i am really happy and now they're gone do the boardercross...
keep you posted

Pkra Canada 2006
Canada Pkra kiteboarding .......................? This is the 7th tour stop and it is in Ille De Madeleine.
I'm travelling with Kevin Langeree and @ airport Amsterdam we met Randy Hereman, he had exactly the same flight as us, so we travelled all toghter.
Yesterday night we slept in a hotel in Montreal and this morning we left the airport of Montreal to fly to the island Ille De Madeleine. So far it has been a long flight but it was a really nice flight. We had no problems and we even got pizza in the airplane heheheh.
The island is really cool, with a lot of different sceneries. It looks exactly the same as you see in books and films so thats very cool. Finally after 30 hours of travelling we arrived @ our hotel.
Our flight schedule:
Amsterdam>Toronto>Montreal>qubec>2 more stops and finally Ille De Madeleine.
Tomorow is the first competition day. Registration @ 9.00 and the forecast looks really good so we will see.
After the registration the wind picked up but not enough So we waited till 12 o clock and there the wind was finally. There where only 18 competitors so I skipped the first round, so did a lot of other riders.
|
My first heat was in the second round against Shawn Richmann and luckily I passed even though the wind was only 15 knots sometimes even less. Then I was up against Mike Blomevall and I had a perfect heat landed nearly everything and he chrashed a lot.
The next heat i was against Aaron hadlow pretty tuff, I had a good heat landed a lot of tricks but Aaron was on fire and won. I was in the loosers final against Alvaro Onieva. After a couple of minutes they cancelled the heat because there was not enough wind . So the first heat tomorrow will be mine.
For now after the singels:
1ste Aaron Hadlow
2nd Kevin Langeree
3rd
4th
Today we had no wind at all so we chilled a lot .heheh
Today it again looks not too good, but we will wait. Probably in the afthernoon the wind will pick up a little bit. And well it did not so we went home @ 4 o clock allready. Tomorrow the skippersmeeting will be @ 9 and the wind will be strong they say 25 til 30 knots so yeah cool.
soo the last day we had wind a lot of wind i rode 12 ,10,8 so the wind was picking up al day.
afther de double,s i had to go again against mikeblomvall and i won again zo is was 3th than i had to go against kevin but is was tired en kevin was riding realy good.

The jury thought differently sow no i"ll be waiting for the double's tomorrow.
