In the afternoon i flew out to Fort lauderdale again, where Mira and lance and Adam picked me up! We went to the hotel got some sleep cause next morning we would be leaving early to Key west( the most south point of florida)
The first night we went eating shomething and looking to some awesome speedboats! You know the jet one,s hehehe! sweet

The competition up in the north was quit ok but there was not much to do next to kiteboarding , so we where a bit bored but the conditions down there are pretty good.

This morning we left cumbuco around 10.30,(for go to the PKRA event site) because we took a taxi instead of the bus. In the end was good decision because we just arrived (5 o clock) so we will have the whole night to sleep and next day to be fit!
We just cheked the beach and it was pretty wind , but the told us that it was every day for 7m , sweeeeet!
Tomorrow is the registration and the day after first competition day , will see what happen!
For now Laterssss,

Brazil 2008,
An other year , so that means an other year Brazil! wheeee, it was about time ,its starting to get cold in holland.
Also we have the PKRA in Brazil again, this year around 7 ours up to the north of Cumbuco(fortaleza).
We made our choice pretty fast about the hotel, Brunotti wind town, last year we had a super nice 3 weeks , nice people, good food, a buatiful place and rigt on the beach! a couple of emails to Suzette and everything was set.
Than the ticket , unfortunatly the don,t fly straight from amsterdam anymore, so we where looking for an other flight, and we took TAP air, the good thing was that we can take 2 time,s 32kg bags , sweet! But , yes there was a but, we only had 50 minute,s for the transfer, we landed on Lisabon and we had to go by bus , pffff stressing out. Finally we cheked the tv screens and the flight had a Hour delaye, perfect in our case.
|
No where just waiting to get the flight to Fortaleza.
Ya we made it , don,t ask how! , in total we had a delaye of 3,5 hour and we flew first to Natal , pff.
But in the end we had our bags and we got here in cumbuco.
This morning we woke up and ofcource there was wind , so we went for breakfast and told hello to Al the people from Windtown.
after we made a nice down winder and got to the laguna, luckely it wasnt to bussy and we had quit some space to ride, my knee is going well , still riding not full power but it will come with time.
No i am just gonna have a breakfast , cheers!

We took the chance to interview Youri Zoon from the Netherlands at the PKRA Kitesurf Worldcup in Skt. Peter-Ording a few weeks ago. Youri rides Slingshot kites and Brunotti kiteboards. He won the PKRA tour stop in 2006 but has been plagued by a knee injury since the PKRA tour stop in Tarifa 2007.
Sweet
