Richie's 26th


After a comedy day at the water park, we came back and embarked on a lobster barbecue of epic proportions. Mayhem ensued including house climbing, and various items being throw into the swimming pool. 

Big thanks to Bibi and Jona for paying for that deck chair, it made the night so much more fun. Also a huge thanks to Eva for not letting then throw the TV out.

Pascale


We first met Pascale when she rocked up and asked us for a pump. When she proceeded to set up her kite upside down we knew we had a problem. 

I wouldn’t dream about mentioning a 200m Switchblade dragging resulting in some very nasty friction burns and some mild shock. She was extreme in all aspects of her life, specially partying and kite surfing. Once we all got her to calm down a bit, her kiting was awesome as well busting some crazy back loops and violent jumps in a frantic Canadian style.

Pascale did her level best to destroy the lovely new kite that Dani brought over from spain for her. As far as we know it's still all OK.

She's going to kill me for putting that last one up. We miss you Pascale 'Danger' Deschamps.

Liquid Force

We got some great news recently. Liquid Force UK are going to be providing us with soft goods for the next season. We have already been using the Liquid Force Comp pads and straps which are excellent for hard landings and saving your knees. A great way to improve your board, and give you more confidence with wake style tricks. The lace system is excellent, giving you a perfect fit. I loosen mine off a bit for wave riding.

I have also been using the Liquid Force Luxury harness. It's a really comfy and functional harness, and the handle pass attachment point on the back is superb. I have also had no rib damage whatsoever as the spreader on the front is so well padded.
Big thanks to Tristan from Liquid Force UK for adding a bit of luxury to our lives! As you can tell we are getting on really well with the kit! I would go as far as saying we are "Super Stoked".
