I got the privilege to ride the new 2010 Naish Helix and Cult when Damien came over to my house. We spent the early afternoon wave-riding waddell with the new Helix 10m with 24 m lines and the new Cult 9m with 12 m lines. Then we headed up to 3rd Avenue for a late freestyle sesh. We had a blast on the water and some very cool discussions at dinner in SF and later in my jacuzzi.

For the record, I found the new helix turning faster and having way more power than the 2009. The new cult is still very easy and stable but with a longer and higher glide.

What a very nice week end... It all started with a Saturday morning session in the Delta with Dimitri taking a few pictures... I simply sent the biggest mega loops of my life between the islands .. Not sure I will have the guts to do it again...

And a Family day at Waddell on Sunday where I got a very great wave riding sesh with unexpected decent waves... Then a kiting lesson for both Fiona and Flo. They all did great. Flo even did some self launches for her first kiting lesson since the one she took in Maui back in 2001... But I have to admit that this talented girl started kiting in 1995 with her 3m foil while I was still windsurfing...
