Now I am El Yaque, Margarita staying in El Yaque Club which to me is one of the best places in town, I’ve stayed here a couple of times now and doubt I’d choose anything else.
Yesterday was my first full day and it was pretty cool, there was a local kite event on where the locals were competing for the wild cards into the PKRA, I had a good session just before it started on a 9, it was so nice to be back in board shorts and in a thinner wind that I think allows you to do more.
At the end of the day after the event was over the organizers asked if I could do a do a small demo, by this time I went out but it was super gusty and I was lit on a 7, I did what i could although it wasn’t epic, I went for some mega power moves with out holding back plus big Kite loops trying to unhook and 360, quite a bit ended in mega submersions but there was a big crown and it was cool to hear their support and show the beach my kitesurfing. The atmosphere around the Venez kiters is great and well good to see everyone stoked and helping each other out.

Earlier in the week after the event in France I stayed in Montpellier filming and shooting for Stance mag, we went cabling, Wakeboarding and had some great kite sessions on a 7, big Mega Loops. One day we had good wind from the right, with a big break water making it flat with nice rolling kickers, I hadn’t had those conditions for a while so it was a fun day, grabs to blind with pop outs of the next wave, Epic.
I had a great time down there and it was well good to meet the stance guys, they are legends, it was also great to ride with Franz (Orly) and the locals so thanks to all that were involved with the trip, the Vid will turn out sick.

I’m off kiting now, bye.
