Wildcat in November - Epic!

Hey my amigos,

The wind has been unusually good for November at Wildcat. It's great for me to be back on the water! and see all my friends again. With school and work, I am trying to kite when I can, and lately its been EPIC. Wildcat has been awesome the last couple of days.

There is a new kid on the block out at Wildcat. I met him the other day with his dad. His name is Ian, I think he is 14. He got some awesome lessons from "Big" Ian and this kid is already rippin' !!!
He has only been out on the water a couple of weeks (?) is already jumping and doing back rolls! I told him to put a bar in the tree, at his house and I'm ready to help him with any tricks he might want to learn. You all better watch out for this young ripper Ian.

see you on the water,
Later

France Pkra

Hey
The competition is over and I placed 9th!! It was super windy and bone chilling cold!
Be home soon to sunny Texas

FRANCE PKRA

Today started off with a bang Lit on my 7meter kite with a strong 35 knot breaze I went against Fernandez from South America. Landing alot of powered moves in the strong winds I advanced! Then I went against Sam Lite from the UK and the wind picked up even more! It was gusting to 40knots! I was so lit but I held it down and threw down! My opponent was too overpowered and could not throw alot of tricks so again I advanced! Next up I was against Kevin Langeree number 2 ranking world wide and the wind was even stronger than before! Still sticking good tricks I did not beat him for he landed more switch. So now I will compete in the doubles tommorow! I will give it my best to make top 5.
Wish me luck
Cheers* Rocky

MEXICO PKRA 2008

The first day of the tour this year started with no wind so everyone just chilled on the beach. That night I ate like three jumbo peices of pizza, and went straight to bed, because the skippers meeting was at 9am the next morning. I realize that I am the first heat of the day, and that I am against Sebation Garrat who is the current world champon of the KWPT freetyle tour. As you remember this guy beat me in Venezula last year. (but he will not beat me this year!) I thought to myself as I was walking in the water for my heat. Bam!!! the horn sounded like a canon firing in the sky, the green flag went up, for I had been waiting for this day! I was going off lke a machine gun landing a huge Smobe right off! After that going into a perfect switch mobe ,and then into a nice 313 grab. Turning around I pulled a huge Kiteloop5, Kiteloop slim chance, slim gram, frontmobe ,Kgb switch slim, and backside 313. Yes I won the heat and advanced to my fellow PKRA competitor Youri Zoon who was thrid in the world in 2006. Despite his knee injury he still rides very strong and he managed to inch his was past me for a lower kite position. Going into the doubles I was against my best friend Jon Van Malson who was ridding strong but I landed quite a few more tricks including switch to seal the deal. Advancing from that heat I went against Tom Herbert(Airush) who is also very good on the KWPT world tour. I feel this was my best heat I have ever done. Lit on my nine meter doing the most powered tricks possible and sticking everything, I won the heat. Advancing from there I went against Reno Reomo from Brazil who barely won the heat for better landings. So I made 9th position and I feel good about starting the tour strong. Last year my first rank was 13th now it is 9th. I plan on making top 5 world ranking this year. I can do it!! I will be home soon and then of to France in April for some more PKRA action!
Cheers

Wind rippin

This place is amazingly windy everyday!! The winds have been strong and gusty and I am learning lots of new tricks! It;s incredible how much the wind blows here! Today it blew 40! I am planning on staying longer if my flight schedule works out. I have met so many cool people here - There have been so many wonderful nice people here to help me, give me food, cook for me! I saw all my friends from Canada, they are camping around the corner. I also helped Mr. Joe at Baja Joes with his water line. Someone hit it in a quad one night!! The breakfast at Baja Joes is wonderful pancakes and eggs and the beans are so refried you could drink them. Mr. Joe makes great hot chocolate too! After kiting everyday, I hit the hotdog stand. I try to get there early because there is always a line of about 30 kiteboarders waiting for hotdogs. My Canadian friends cooked me a huge seafood dinner the other night. The fishing is also fantastic here. Every morning I sit on the beach and watch the beautiful red sun come up over the ocean and watch the fishermen go out in their boats! Well, I wish you all could kiteboard LaVentana some day! Its a really cool place!
