A few shots from the 2013 Neil Pryde Group Dealer Meeting in Islamorada, FL. This is a group photo of attendees at the Moorings where the meeting largely took place. The Pryde Group includes Cabrinha Kiteboarding, Neil Pryde, NP, JP-Australia, Imagine Surf and Vela Windsurfing/Dare2fly resorts. This meeting provides an opportunity for dealers throughout South, Central American and the Caribbean to checkout products for the new year. https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...56067013_n.jpg They have an amazing palm strewn beach at the Moorings resort. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...68198388_n.jpg There was lots of gear on the beach to try daily throughout the meeting. https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/...15085308_n.jpg There were parties nightly throughout the meeting, this time at Morada Bay. This is a great sunset spot on the island. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...78968492_n.jpg It is a great flat water kiting spot. The official rollout of kite and some other gear isn't until August 1, so these images have been distored, shhh, top secret! Complete write ups are in the works both on the meeting and new product offerings for 2013. More to come ... |

Nice video! Lots of good GoPro imagery in there too.

Revolution in weather forecasing... well... I'd say it's more suitable for indicating current conditions :)

A creatively filmed and edited look at Turkey and kiting from Stefan Spiessberger and Mike of http://mikekite.tv . I understand they did a two week shoot on the Aegean in Turkey and this is a teaser for a full length feature to come out in October 2012.

Nice clip! I am glad you folks got some useable wind over there. Here's to some good fall fronts!

Wishing everyone a marvelous Thanksgiving with family and friends! If you can slip out for a short water session, here's to it! Just swung by the beach for a quick look this morning. Winds should be nice off Jupiter and points north today or in Key Biscayne and south with sea taxi to the flats. As you can see the surf is going off in the middle in southern Palm Beach county and well north up the east coast. Best to one and all. |

Bringing back the mythological bad old days with this 50 m monster when bigger kites were better. Actually, smaller kites that flew faster, generated more apparent wind were more fun to fly if not better as well. Simple projected area wasn't the whole story for finding power at the low end. I recall having a slow 23 m Airblast with a larger area than my hang glider! Image from https://www.facebook.com/fym.Tarifa You can see a lot more of this kite in action with its designer Don Montague in the following video. It was designed for boat propulsion which it seems to do very well. I have to say it looks a lot faster and easier to turn than my old monster Airblast kite. |

A look at the last 20 years of Robby Naish's life in about 20 minutes in this video. |
We don't have whales sightings much in SE Florida these days. If whale breached that close to me, I think I would look a little more rattled. Then again, maybe there were out their whale watching and expected something. "A woman floating on a surfboard near Santa Cruz, California almost ended up on the lunch menu for a humpback whale over the weekend. Barb Roettger had her camera rolling as two hefty whales popped out of the calm waters not far from the unsuspecting surfer and a pair of kayakers. A pod of humpback whales has been hanging out off the Santa Cruz coast, noshing on anchovies that flock to the area to feed on plankton. The woman found herself in the middle of a feeding frenzy called lunge feeding, which occurs when whales herd anchovies and shoot straight up out of the water with their mouth wide open to catch the fish. The whales have had quite a few dangerous close encounters with humans and boats in recent months. Whale watchers are warned to stay at least 100 yards away from the feeding area which can be a quarter mile square. Roettger says she has now gained a greater respect for whales, their feeding patterns and will now only spectate from the decidedly safer dry land. For those who doubt that this is real, watch this footage that is shot from the same kayak: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHOQSRPYQWw" http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._breaching.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi..._breaching.jpg |

Scaling in Photoshop this looks to be around a 60 to 65 ft. jump or roughly 20 m. Seems higher? Stance Kiteboarding posted this on FB with the following caption: "Le véritable sens de "s'envoyer en l'air"" (The true meaning to "send in the air") "... Rider : John Glais (Cabrinha, Kitaddict), Spot : St Malo. — with John Johnn." St. Malo is in Brittany in Northern France. http://www.artandarchitecture.org.uk...b22f17211a.jpg St. Malo in pre-kiting days http://www.artandarchitecture.org.uk/ |

"Maui 1985 Hookipa, ENJOY!" Checkout those sails, a different age. From Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...=o.52760743971 Here is a Mistral promotion from about the same year. "Mistral promotion video made around 1984 to 1985. It was made when Mistral boards were at their height. They had one the best world cup wins with the help of Robby Naish and Peter Cabrinha, Natalie Le lievre and Nevin Sayer. Other Sailors include Jill Boyer, Karl Messmer. The boards of the time were the Mistral Bemuda and Superlight (IMCO regatta boards), Maui (Mk II), Tarifa, Taloa (High litre short board - not shown), Malibu, Diamond Head (Slalom Board Mk II) and Hookipa (Wave Board). The most radical were the Diamond Head and the Hookipa. The Sails shown were still basic for there day but gloriously colorful. Filmed in Kailua Hawaii by Yuri Farrant - Thanks! Music is "The Heat is On", a song written by Harold Faltermeyer for the Film "Beverly Hills Cop" A great looking, colourful and Fun video capturing the new Funboard generation." |
Damien LeRoy has just put up a new video. It provides some insights on his perspective on life. Have to say in the ten years
that I have known him, he has to be one of the most capable, self-assured but humble persons I have encountered. How does he do it?

"Ripping through the maze of channels on the Great South Bay" From: https://www.facebook.com/kiteboardingisfun Looks like a fun riding area and with the nice stronger winds the NE can offer.

"They arrived! Yesterday's downwinder, which started at Adventure Sports Matheson, first stopping at Boca Chita and ended at Whale Harbour- the course was a little over 60 miles, started with 20 riders and 14 made it all the way to the finish line. The race gathered all top athletes and we raised $50k to build a self-sustaining home in Tanzania, Africa for orphaned children. Thanks to Mark Russell and all who made it possible" From: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater |
