1st

The first comp of the year has turned out to be a great one, after yesterday I was pretty disappointed with the result but today I managed to pull it back and take the win.

First off I came up against Portas and had a pretty good heat to have a second chance at Kevin in the double elimination.

The wind had started to drop right before the heat, I saw Kev switch to a bigger kite which someone had in the air ready for him to take, I new I didn’t have time to switch line to my 13 so I just stuck with it and believed in my 11, it pulled me through, although having a bit less power than usual I managed to stay up wind by tacking out the back where there was less current, I got enough tricks in to pull through to the final final against Kevin again.

In this heat I was able to have my 13 ready in time, the wind was still dropping but at first I had enough power to pull through a good few tricks, up wind 2 tacks with combos helped me out for the start, by the end we were both downwind struggling and having to run up wind but throughout the heat I had done enough to take the win.

    kiddo why do you do all this free riding and talking then when it comes time to produce you pull out the same dingle crap.

    come on.

    talk the talk.

    walk the …..

  23. aaronhadlow Says:

    sorry mate, thats what it takes to win sometimes at the moment.
    I can only walk the ….. by free-riding and showing movies and gradually bringing it into comp.

  24. AdrenalinDriven Says:

    Jimmy b bop don’t you think that maybe if you know so much about being a sick kiteboarder you might be winning some world championships? Dont talk shit to somebody who’s obviously the best in the world.
