I was with Lina in Thailand, Indonesia and Boracay, Philippines during the winter 2013. We kitesurfed almost every day for three months, and attended KTA in PranBuri in Thailand. Here is a short video of Lina kitesurfing there.

Boracay is a famous tourist destination due to its amazing White Beach. But kitesurfers do know that on the other side of the island is the paradise for kitesurfing, the Bulabog beach. There are always wind, a lot of kitecenters, a lot of professional kiteboarders training tricks, and kind of flat water because of a reef outside the bay.

Watch out for the kite-eating-killer-ants!

Okay, this is weird. Here at Boracay you can find a type of ant that crawls into the bladder of your kite and eats the rubber from inside. And when you pump the kite, there are hundreds of holes. When you fix 117 holes, and everything works, you put the kite back, and there is […]

18.01.2013
When you have kitesurfed for a while on the quite crowdy Bulabog beach on Boracay, you might want to enjoy a place with kilometers of flatwater and only maybe 7-8 kites in the air? Then it is time to head to Union beach for a day. And a good way of getting there is to […]

The day of crashing handlepasses
17.01.2013
Today I thought I should learn some tricks to blind and some handlepasses, starting with Raley to blind, followed by S-Bend to blind, Flat 3, and Backroll + 360. I could now write a book about how to fail in making handlepasses and blind-riding. I think that everything just failed. But it was fun, and […]
