Pretty loose…

jeroen — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:18:05 +0000

Here is the last episode for now… The tv-show was a great tool to promote kiteboarding through television in several countries. Check out what goes down in the last episode. Some hairdressin’ going down in SA, then my jump from the Mediterranean Sea into the Atlantic Ocean comes by…Followed by some good times at the Triple-S event in Cape Hatteras, NC, USA.

Have a good one, rider hard & enjoy life!

Peace!

SA with Azza and Lew

South Africa is the sh*t, and you know it. That is why we spend most of our winters down there to enjoy their summertime. In this episode you can check out Azza’s 900 project. He was working on this sick move and nailed it his way… First 900 in kiteboarding! Props! On a super windy day I got my Shadow Box out and set up a big air comp between Azza and Lew. Two good mates who both could use a haircut from hairdresser LEN10. Check this shiiizzzz…

On The Loose in the Philippines

jeroen — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 23:18:38 +0000

Hahaha, what a trip! Looking at this episode some funny memories pop-up again.

For me this was not the best trip due to my ankle injury and the state of mind I was in. Not fun! But it was still worth it…

Lots of things went down, wakeboarding, poker, parties, kiteboarding and even a new hairstyle for Azza.

Just check it out and have a laugh please!

Fun in the Philippines

jeroen — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 10:36:54 +0000

The On The Loose crew went on a trip to the Philippines, were the first Wind Or No Wind was held at the CWC cable park.This event was organized by Mauricio Abreu, one of the pioneers of our sport. Taking the Wakestyle and Surfing to a new level from the start. He knew what the riders needed and invited a great crew down to CWC to work on their skills and battle it out on the rails. In the following episodes you can see us get comfortable in the Philippines. Enjoy… Not the best action, but I am sure we will drop an action movie sometime soon. It’s TV guys, it’s TV, common, gimme a break.

Next Tuesday the next episode will be on.

Peace and RIDE HARD!

The story continues…

jeroen — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:08:47 +0000

After a while of not showing any episodes and keeping things quiet… It is now time to show you guys how the story continues. Failed S-loop mission in Gran Canaria still resulted in a great party at Pacha. Gianni and I both got to spin a set… I got my ankle checked out and dealt with in Holland. Whilst Azza went on to Mauritius to shoot his new gear and have some fun.

Then it was time to head to the Philippines for the WONW Board Jam. At CWC.

Check it out, next Tuesday next epi.

Peace!

OTL rocks Gran Canaria

Here we are with the last webisode for now of On The Loose. This time I wanted to try a move I’ve been dreaming of for a year now.

It’s a Mega Loop where halfway I pull it back the other way. The S-Loop.

Quite some windsurfers around the world told me about Pozo being a very windy place. So that made it worth checking out…

The first day we got there the wind was pretty full on and I was getting quite comfortable. It was still gusty and the waves not as big as I hoped for.

But I was on my 5m Fuel and warming up, the camera guys where still setting up and getting things ready.

The forecast looked good but didn’t work out too good in the end. The wind and waves became less. Although Bjorn Dunckerbeck, our good friend and Red Bull team colleague showed us the best spots to ride at, so that was cool.

We also did a heli shoot, but that didn’t work out too well. The spot was close to the airport and the heli couldn’t come close enough!

I think Cape Town is the place to nail this move. Or Holland during a big fat storm. Bring it on!!

It was a fun trip, Aaron’s kite blew away two times which I quite enjoyed. Hahaha he was running fast.

Azza busted out some nice moves but Gran Canaria can’t top the Cape Town conditions. So we’ll do the bigger shit there in February.

Gianni Aragno, our good friend from Spain came bye to hang out for a few days.

We went go-karting and we got to DJ in Pacha Club Gran Canaria.

That was an amzing experience. Will drop footage of that later on in a highlight.

Stay tuned…

Peace and ride hard!

OTL in the Hood

jeroen — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 09:36:01 +0000

Each year in Hood river there is a Slider Project going down, this year the Ro Sham Throw Down was the main cause of our trip.This year we got to hire this sick house over looking the main spot at the sand bar, which is where the event was going down.

The set up was pretty sweet, loads of people turned out to watch us and the atmosphere was fun.
We had a few fun little obstacles and the format was really good. 3 heats of 8, top 3 advance from each for a 9 man final.

Everyone has to bust there best wake style and slider hits and you win on overall impression.
I was just having fun riding with the crew, was cool to see everyone with a smile on their face doing what they love.
I managed to win the event which was pretty sick.
Cheers to everyone who made it happen, they did a really good job this year!

Azza hits the Dom Rep.

jeroen — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 16:13:52 +0000

On The Loose is getting pretty loose and follows Aaron Hadlow aka Azza on his journey to the Dom Rep.This time it was more of a holiday and training week for him instead of competing in the World Tour with choppy conditions.
He met up with our good friend Susi Mai and checked out the competition that was on at that moment.

Our other good friend Bruna Kajiya was riding in the contest but seem to crash a bit too much to get top results. Her finger was half broken so she wasn’t on top of her game. Next time better luck… Going for world champ again…I bet she had a nice time in the Dom Rep anyways, the sun was shining and the weather was sweet yeah…SO how harsh can it be!!

Azza was feeling happy and relaxed, which you can see later on in the episode. Check him out busting out some killer and well difficult moves at the river mouth La Boca. Insano this dude…And here I am sitting on my couch, rehab with my ankle. I want to riiiidddeeee…

Let us know what you think about the tv-show.

Peace out and ride hard!

Roadtrip SE-coast

jeroen — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 10:48:52 +0000

Red Bull USA called us up with the idea to do a roadtrip along the SE-coast of the US. Susi, Aaron and I were definitely up for that and got talking with Neil Hutchinson who was helping to set it all up.

As it’s was not the best time for wind we still had some great fun. We hit spots like Charleston, South Carolina where we met up with our good friend Davey Blair.

He showed us the hotspots and guided us around his hometown. CHUCKTOWN was defin the most fun spot on the tour.

We hit some other spots along the way down like Tybee Island, St. Augustine and in the end Jacksonville.

Not too much action but a great trip after all. And we promoted the sport to a few people for sure.

Thanks to Neil, Matt and Dave for sorting it out.

Peace!
