JP Luby kiting session

Hey
The wind has been awesome! I rode JP luby yesterday with a friend and it was SWEET!!!

Im so stoked to have my signature move perfected again, the Rocky style kiteloop slim is back- bigger and better now with a nose grab. I must say, Im faster now and more way flexible!

I have been working out with weights and s - t - r - e - t - c - h everyday. Listen up people, you must stretch, especially if you kiteboard. I never stretched last year and I got stiff.
Greg and Jeff always told me to stretch, so listen -
STRETCH all you kiteboarders!!

I hear big things about Ian Mufin at Wildcat! I knew he would be a great freestyler. Keep your eyes on this new kid.
Later,
Rocky

Finally I'm through with finals

Wow!! I'm finally through with my final exams. This week has been crazy! I hope I passed all my tests
check out the pix of my new house!!
I bought a house a couple of months ago, and try to work on it everyday. My dad and I worked hard. we replaced all the windows, re-routed the hot water heater, took out a wall in the kitchen, put down new floor, replaced wood and a bunch of other things cleaning and painting everything.
I love my new place!!

Our season is here! the wind is awesome. I rode the Gulf last weekend, even though the rip current was fierce, the session incredible. I lost my board a couple of times!! the surf was very impressive for Texas gulf coast that day!
I hope everybody has been able to get out on the water and ride .

give me a shout if you want to ride. Ive been busy with work, school and fixing up on my house, but I still hit the water as much as I can!

Texas tornado 50 knots

Today the wind was out of the West at 50 knots. I just had to do it! After class, i pumped up my 5m fuel at Texas A&M and had my best mate Timmy launch me as the windsurfer was coming in on a 2.7 sail . the windsurfer dude said I couldn't do it. He said I was Crazy!! to even think about putting a kite into the air today. As I launched the memories flooded back of Tarifa 07 and yes water was flying today in Texas. I just lost it all of suden fully depowered, screaming on the water , I unhooked for a slim chance and passed the bar, a gust hits and I somehow do an extra spin. the kite downloops and somehow I landed, severely butt checking it. If anybody else rode today, let me know, I want to hear about it.

OOOPS forgot one thing

ALMOST FORGOT

If you seen big Ian H. - get out there and try out that new Slingshot RPM
that kite is really great

I love the new bar I set up !! THANKS

The water so warm, now this!! anyways, the wind was great, I was totally J U I C E D the other day, throwing down all my tricks, and lots of new ones. I landed a bunch of new tricks with wrapped variations, many to blind now. I'm inventing my own style of freestyle ROCK STYLE its incrediblely fun to kite just for the love of kiteboarding...and you don't even have to be a ROCK(Y) STAR -ha ha - - I love my new bar and lines - THANKS!!!!

Wildcat insane today

well, it looks like spring is here, finally! after the long, dead winter. the wind was insane today at Wildcat. I rode a couple of hours around noon and was totally rippin ,lit on my 9m . I hope all you kiters have been able to get out on the water lately. Its great for me to be back on the water, and with spring around the corner everyone should get out there.
pump it and chunk it - Rocky
