videos of the Triple-S crashes

I have 3 nice craches in this video :D



Look at time code...
1:20, I was wearing a fluo green t-shirt and an helmet!
2:13, for a no-handed OHH!
3:43, for an other nice crash on the sand!!

shippagan's windfest

Once again... it wasn't really windy for the shippagan's windfest.
Actually we knew the forecast wasn't looking great, but the weather on the acadian peninsula is always very difficult to predict... so we took a chance and decided to go anyway with a VERY optimistic thinking.
It finally paid out for about 12 knots on and off on monday.

The locals guys build a really nice slider before the new season started, but once again, I fell that very few people are motivated to move the slider and/or get something organize to manage a kite park in Shippagan.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to go back and ride it!

back from triple s

Here is a short video of "day 2" of the Triple S in which you can see me shortly... I'm the one with an helmet and an orange tank!

I had lots of fun in Cape Hatteras last week. The REAL KITEBOARDING park is so cool and the weather was so nice, no wetsuit needed in the laguna!
I've got lots of motivation watching the guys... Ruben, Alvaro, Aaron, Andre, Davey, etc.

No pictures because Mathieu wasn't allowed to take pictures... yeah, we were so disapointed.
I think it's because they had an exclusive agreement with an other photographer.
Anyway, the organizers were cool with us, Mathieu should be able to shoot next year and they told us to come back whenever we want to ride and shoot on their park!

Ciao
