The wind was light this evening but I managed to stick for the very first time a few nice S-Bend (Heelside railey with an overhead backside 360. Both hands over head). I deserved my full glass of a nice Merlot Carneros...

Around 5:00 pm, the channel was simply delivering its best. Nice steady wind and large swells...a very nice afternoon indeed...

Yesterday the forecast was great but the reality turned out to be very disappointing...But we were finally able to get some light wind to smoothly cruise the bay...

Look at this video showing a new BOW prototype from the Legainoux brothers...You will find some similarities with the Genetrix Hydra!!

Waddell creek was the place to be this Saturday...Almost warm, sunny, strong wind, head size waves, a couple of nice dolphins playing outside,...Did I mention some localism too?

Check out this Genetrix Kiteboarding High Def. video available on GetAzureus.com !!!

I have been working on an Handstand move, riding the board with one hand...

JR, you know that I have a profound respect for your windsurfing skills and kitesurfing style, but I will beat you on this cool move...I will get it before you !

Thanks Megunn from Team Coyote for the picture...I hope you managed to stay dry with all the water splash...

Average 22 mph, gusts at 26, ebbing and very large swells...Where were the windsurfers ???

Anyway, JR, Serge and I were ripping the channel as much as we could...It was just too sweet! (Look at me splashing the wave next the to channel marker...Serge, can you beat that ?).

When the wind is South West and sucks almost everywhere in the bay, Palo Alto is always there! Once again, the wind came strong on saturday afternoon and the tide sent some nice swells in the little channel...I really love P.A.!

I was quite alone this evening cruising a quiet channel trying to find some wind away from the dead calm shore (less than 10 miles/hour)...But I made it fine thanks to a new back bridle setup on my Hydra 12. I have now much more power ...and I liked it!

Nice evening session in the channel with JR. The channel was just for the two of us...It is always a pleasure to kite with him because he is adding so much style in every move he does...

Claude, just back from vacation in France, is also on the picture...
