Winter 2020 sessions part1

Thanks to a little Virus, I got stuck at home for the winter 2020 in the southern Hemisphere.

I have been a migratory specie for many years, and winter is almost a novelty for me. (One that I would rather avoid)

Thick wetsuits and stormy sessions have been the norm although temperatures haven’t been too bad. There have been some wild sessions but so far we have survived this winter 2020. The winter of our discontent wasn’t so bad, as soon we got to kiteboard without breaking the law…

Visitors

I got a surprise visit from some Airush riders Oswald Smith and Kyle Cabano and it was a lot of fun showing them around. Having them around gave me the possibility of trying out some of the more gnarly wave spots with the perceived safety of having experienced riders in the water.

Cannon Rocks holds a lot of memories with Ozzy. He was a regular competitor in his formative years at the Cannon Rocks kiteboarding classic so it was great to catch up. Cannon Rocks also showed off by giving us wind from both prevailing directions. That is pretty unusual this time of the year.

Kyle did a splendid job with media. (You can follow his Instagram account here )

Here is a little Go pro clip from myself and photographs from Kyle, but there is more to come.

I look forward to the next visit!

Part 2 of the “Swell” video

_MG_4963Here is part 2 of the video on the swell,

In this video I concentrated on showing the flying behavior of the Peter Lynn Swell in waves in different conditions.

The video was shot in South Africa with most footage coming from Cannon Rocks and surroundings and one session in Witsands in Cape Town.

Thank you to all the people who helped make this video possible.

New Video: “Swell” Heading South

IMG_1869With the help of many friends I managed to put together this edit of the first few months with the Peter Lynn 3 strut; the “Swell”. Using it mostly in waves but also discovering that its applications go beyond wave riding.

This footage was captured around the time we were shooting stills and a little after.
Most spots are around Cannon Rocks – South Africa with one sequence being in Whitesands in the Cape.
Shooting video is a different beast, It’s a totally different approach and one that is not easily combined with taking stills.
You will see various types of conditions as we get it, large swell, small swell, wind from the left and from the right. Strapless, and strapped. And fr good measure a big boosting session with some loops.

I wanted to show that the kite really does excel in many areas

Enjoy
