Cab bbq in Paia

I couldn’t turn down free food and booze! Pete and some of his friends put together a jam session for everyone. Good times.

Forrest, Katie & Maddie are out…

Had some good friends staying with us for the past few months and they’re flying out today. Had some good times. The plan is for Ruthie and I to visit then up in Hood River soon.

Always sad to have friends leave.

Maui Snow

No, this isn’t a metaphor. I woke up this morning and had my mind blown! Last night and this morning Haleakala got covered in snow. Not the best pic, but it gets the point across.

Wind is back! (and they caught that shark…)

So yea, the wind FINALLY came back to Maui. About freaking time. Had a mediocre session with Brandon, Craig C., Forrest and Sensi at Kitebeach. A bit gusty but after so long it was nice to get wet.

Had a chance to finally test the new 2012 Cab Skate prototype. It definitely took some getting used to. It’s shorter and wider and I wasn’t sure how it would handle the chop compared to the 2010/11 model. After an hour I got it tuned and had a fun sesh.

On a side note, if no one heard about the boogie boarder getting his leg chomped at Ledges, then ended up catching the shark. A bit larger than the estimated 6ft too! Check the pic! How did they know this is the shark? It had the kids fin in it’s stomach!

Wind or No Wind Jam

My friend Morris is putting on this sick event, Wind or No Wind, at CWC in the Philippines. I’m a bit biased since I got invited, but I’d recommend checking out the website and seeing what it’s all about. Or you can check them out on Twitter at #windornowind.

No Way! Featured on AllianceWake.com!

Wow. Pretty cool info. AllianceWake.com ran an article titled “The World’s Greenest Pull” featuring the ACL Red Cam footage of Dre, Steen and myself. They also featured the ghetto video I did – Line Mount Mayhem! Talk about stoked. It’s awesome to see kiteboarding getting positive recognition from other board sports, specifically wakebording since a lot of my kiteboarding is an emulation of that sport. This, along with the positive feedback from Wakeskating.com has really given me hope for the future of kiteboarding. Hopefully more exposure will lead to more talented riders getting involved in the sport.
