This half term I spent a weekend down south a Port Solent and had a awesome time. I went across to Bracklesham and was privileged to try the new Vapor X 9m prototype and am one of the very few in the UK that have. I thought it was an awesome kite and am very keen for the rest of them to come out in the UK in the next month or so. I found this kite a lot more powerful that the previous vapors and was a lot more stable than the others so was much nicer and I felt more comfortable unhooking and knowing that it was going to stay in the same place, it was also super lofty and the hangtime was amazing. I would recommend this kite to people who are just starting to jump and for people that are looking into freestyle and wakestyle moves as it is just so stable.   


Over this weekend I also found myself talking to the A-Boards UK distributor (Storm Distributors) and was offered a deal to be one of their team riders. I am absolutely overjoyed with this opportunity and got the wakestyle/freestyle X-series board. I haven't had chance to go out on it yet but I am awaiting the weekend to get out and give it a shot. The board looks really nice and is super stiff so I have high expectations with how it will perform.


Stay tuned

Stay tuned

Just ready to set off for Redcar the last of the BKSA tour, it should be a grate weekend hopefully the weather man is wrong and we will have a bit more wind than forecasted at the moment but Friday is looking very promising. Wish me luck and let's see if I can get any points on the board and come out with a good result.

Had the first of my 2 day course of the BKSA power kite instructors course today was great fun! learnt a lot of new skills and ways of teaching and looking forward to what tomorrow brings

On the 6th-7th of October i will be taking part in a power kite qualification which will enable me to help other people get into the sport as all kitesurfer should have started by flying power kite before they got onto the kitesurf kites. In doing this i will also be offered a job as a power kite instructor at Hangtime kite school.
