We already had a few storms this winter, meaning a few south wind rides in the harbor...

The wind was light but we had a blast playing with her Cult 4.5m at Half Moon Bay.

The season is not over yet! An other freestyle session at HMB in the bag for 2009...

That was a very rough November session on a cold and rainy day at Scott Creek. But the wind was blowing hard and the swell was quite large at times. And Dimitri came along to shoot some nice pictures while I was pushing myself with some unhooked wave-riding...

Lots of kiting but not so much posting... so here is a collage to summarize the last 2 months ;-)

2010 Naish Momentum 132*41: A dream come true! I love the board, period.  I am used to ride the 2009 Thorn FC 130 but this new momentum fits my style better. Wider and more flexible, this board gives me way more pop and a smother landing.

2010 Naish Cult: Better than the cult and Helix 2009! The new Cult 2010 is turning faster, has more power, a better pop, an increased glide and generate more pull in the turn than both the helix and the cult 2009. This new direct feel is much more like the Helix 2009 but with a better unhooked ability (kiteloop, railey etc.) and a cleaner bar feeling.

Great event organized by Live2Kite on July 11, 2009 with 135 kiters !!! I had a blast kiting with my friends near Alcatraz and pier 39, and sending big old school jumps at Treasure Island... I want to do it again! 

With the recent sell of my company (IDB Consulting France and Canada) and the lack of good wind/tide combination, I haven't been able to seriously practice the dangle pass for a while... But I know I am getting closer and doing way better on my personal HP training station... So I just need a few more good practice sessions at 3rd... Hopefully!
