Here are a few shots from the Jekyll Island Buggy Expo in Georgia.  This week was also my honeymoon. I got married on Saturday May 14 to my beautiful wife Joy.  I'll post up some photos soon of the wedding when I get them. 

I just recieved a new 19m Charger which is wicked in lower winds.  I've never been able to ride so well in 14mph winds 

I've also been putting my photography skills into practice.  Marijn was teaching me how to get good pictures done while at NABX and here are a few shots

I'm Getting Bored

Its been two weeks since i've been able to fly, i'm starting to feel stir crazy

Couple of Airs

No tricks in this one, just holding on for dear life

I love powersliding on hardpacked sand.  Its one of the best surfaces to ride.

Getting into grips with foot outs is really easy in clean ocean wind.  The windspeed was in the low 20s, which was perfect for a 15m peter lynn charger

Todd riding hard on the 6m phantom.

When you are sponsored people will give you rides off of the beach

One more time :)

WildWood Buggy Bash 2011

This last week was the WildWood Buggy Bash in New Jersey and we got some nuking winds.  It was my first year at the bash and I got to meet all of the East Coat Kitesports Crew, plus many of the riders from up and down the East Coast.  I'll post up photos this week and introduce you to many of the key people.  I don't have all of the photos downloaded yet, but here is what I have so far.

Jaymz a really nice fellow who is excited about Kitesports.  We had to work on his 15m charger a bit, hope to see it in action soon

Paul, he is a wicked good rider.  He loves to rip up and down the beach and then throw a few 360s along the way.

Riding my favorite charger when the winds were low the first day.I hope everybody had a great weekend!

Good times in the Desert

Around thursday the wind died out in the afternoon and the temperatures were high. Marijn, John, Jeroen, and I decided to head out on a small road trip to Lake Mead to go swiming for the Afternoon.  

We had plenty of team gatherings in the RV, here the PL foil kite designer shares a few laughs with Jeroen, Fast Arie, John and I

This photo says it all.  Ozzy is a beast

Ricardo was flying around the playa early one morning before anybody else had a chance to get out there

Dude, wheres my buggy?

Freeman, I guess he got hot launched during the out and back and knocked himself out cold.

Dino is one of the most down to earth nice guys i have ever met, this photo doesn't capture the torture that he dishes out to Ricardo. 

Ken number3.  I found out that we share an interest in motorcycles.  He was one of the first guys that i met on the playa.  I'm gonna miss hanging out with you crazy canadians

Ziggy, small guy with tons of energy.  hooking up his special 9m phantom

NABX is nothing without the people.  If you missed this year, you should try to be there next time, it was epic!
