After spending a month in Cabarete it was time to come over to the West Coast for the Ro Sham Throw Down here in Oregon.
The scenery here is amazing, kiting down in the river you are surrounded with the most crazy landscape that changes quickly as you head out East towards the dessert.
We have had a few sessions in different spots in the area and today got our first go on the new rails, the reason we are all here. The event kicked off with qualifiers today and the main event should take place at the weekend, hopefully we will get to ride the park some more before then.
Here are some shots we have taken over the last few days BoomTing, Sam Light, James Boulding, Tom Court

I have been here just over a week now, kiting and shooting for a new video, so far we have been shooting at La Boca and Encuentro, flat water and kicker sessions. Meanwhile we are building a flat bar, that will hopefully be finished in a few more days.
Since we arrived we have had some good wind, apparently there was no wind for a month before we a got here so we’re hoping the typical cabarete summer winds are in.

The Triple-S ended really well, 3 full days of riding and loads of action.
We had some sessions in the slick and got to ride the sliders a bunch.
I ended up coming 3rd on the Rails and 1st in the Freestyle.
We have the last video update from the event coming very soon with all the kiting action.

Now I am in the Dom Rep for the month until the next event in Hood River, the Ro Sham Throw Down.
Whilst I am here I am going to be filming a new video, testing some kites and chilling!

Here are some pics from my session yesterday, so nice to be back. Thanks to Tom Court for the photo’s, Ripslix.co.uk.

So I finally made it to Cabarete, I was picked up by Susi and crew, stopped by my apartment and then headed down to La Boca to chill and go for a little session.
I just got my new pre-production Wakestyle board for final testing, so I was pretty keen to hit the water and give that a go. It was well good to have a session in board shorts, flat water and in boots again.
Hopefully there will be a bit more wind for the coming days so I can get back out on the water and get some new video footage.
