Crashing is part of the learning process... and I am paying my dues quite often!

Here I am on the coast playing with my brand new Naish Cult 09 quiver. What a blast!!!

OK, I admit... I was not really jumping the tanker. But I like this photo too much!

And also this nice shot of one of my few landed F16 (still some work to do).

I have been working hard lately on new moves (mostly on my weakest side... ) without the success I'd like... But here are 2 shots from Ryan Baird of me trying to show off the Naish logo under my board.

Long photo shoot at a very deserted Scotts creek... Small waves but tons of fun!!!

As usual pictures from Dimi using his 50-500mm...

... And for my daughter Fiona, that's the whole Women US Olympic team (Gymnastics)... So having the national team training at her club (Airborne Gymnastics) before taking the plane for Beijing was quite amazing for her. So here she is, with (future Olympic champion?) Shawn Johnson working on her bars routine... Fiona was so stoked...

I did a nice photo shoot last week at 3rd Av. with DimiExter using my Cult 9, throwing everything I have in my bag... F16 (back-roll unhooked kiteloop), Kiteloop, railey, S-bend to surface HP, tweaked high jumps and more... Here are a few shots...

I spent the week-end kiting at Sherman on my way to Fiona's gym competition in Sacramento. Had a lot of fun in such hot weather ( despite Saturday kiting accident:-( ) sending big or surfing around the islands...

I wish all the best recovery to the injured kiter!

A (quickly edited) sequence of a recent Railey to Surface HP (thanks to Claude) on my Naish Cult 9 & Thorn 129. Next sequence, my new F16 move... Dimi, when are you available???

Flat 3 training on my trampoline... I am dying to get this move on the water !!!
