On the Loose

Already a few days ago that we left Fuerteventura to go to the well exciting event in Cape Hatters, North Carolina, USA.
Real Kiteboarding has got a sweet set-up over here with one of the best shops I’ve ever seen.

They’ve also got a great teaching system overhere and got plenty of jet-skis and other stuff to do on no-wind days.

Last year we had an epic event here, although the wind wasn’t that great then.
Now 3 days in the event I feel like I’ve had the 3 best days of my life.

It’s just such a sick place here, they’ve got sick houses for the riders to crash in.

Full on swimming pool, Jacuzzi and sound system house, you know what I mean?
I felt right home when I entered the front door.
So having that all good we couldn’t wish for more.

But there was more, the first day of the event the wind was in and they just got the new rail in.
An 80 ft A-frame that came in from the Project, a legit wakeboard spot in Orlando.

So having that in for the first day everybody was stoked on riding and dialed themselves in on the rail.
For now it was still laying out front real which was a bit choppy, but still fun to hit.

Last time I rode so much in one day was, eehh, I can’t remember.
Like a full four hour sessions. I was dead.

The next day into the event we didn’t score it with the conditions but it was a beautiful and clear day.
Everybody was happy to chill and later we put the jet-ski and the rails out which created some nice action.

It was a great feeling to session the rail behind a ski during sunset.
Time to call it a day after we threw down a little party at the Bonzai house.
Pppfff people got kained!! Good timezzz…

Today was an epic day as well, really insane.
We woke up pretty hungover and the house was all messy so I didn’t really wanna get up.
But then Bellsy and Ryan actually cleaned the place and served Aaron and me breakfast on bed, we couldn’t believe our luck.
So we finally got out of bed and chilled and dj’d around a little, then we headed to Real.

The wind seemed to be kicking in slowly.
At 2PM everyone went out to the Slick(Flat water about 500mtr up from Real).
They had us totally sorted and the rails were all in place ready to get sessioned.
I was on my 11m and totally enjoyed every minute of my 2,5hr session.
People were really throwing down and pushing themselves, guys like Dylan Thompson from the Gorge, who’s actually killing it in the snow these days. He was having it well nice with some good style to it.

Greg Norman, Brandon Sheid, Aaron Hadlow, Jason Slezak, Davey Blair and a whole lot of others where getting sick hits.

We came in and ate a lot of food, really a lot. Drank a water and a beer…

Then we headed out to the Slick on our 9m as the wind had picked up.
We had a sick sunset session and I landed a smooth gap 3 over the A-frame, stoked on that.

So yeah, now I’m really dead and looking forward to my last zip of beer.

Take it eaazzzeee..
