From 26th August – 14th September I’m going to be out in Gokova (Turkey) filming and riding. On the 4/5th we will be running a sliders/kickers workshop for anyone interested and private coaching is available at any stage throughout our stay. For more information check out the website

So i’ve been in Jamaica this week shooting with the new Sanyo Xacti camera.  Place is seriously beautiful, and we managed to get in some shooting in Falmouth bay on the north coast.  Conditions were pretty tricky as the wind was incredibly gusty close in but we managed to do some lifestyle type shooting so check it out.

Please log onto:  Xacti Competition Website and vote for my video in the competition!

Found out earlier that a shot taken by Bryan Elkus in Hatteras during the LF 2011 product shoot made the cover of Kitesurf mag.  Super stoked, it’s an awesome shot and my first cover shot!  Hopefully more to follow!

So the triple S and LF product shoot is over and i’m back home to the UK.  The last week has been nuts, had some epic riding sessions and some serious parties put on by the organisers at REAL kiteboarding.  The highlight was definately day 4 when the mid section of the John Wayne Slider was removed and we had a gap session in some serious winds.  Check out some of the event shots from Bryan Elkus.

Just found out I received one of the triple SSS wildcards for this years event in Hatteras in June.  Completely over the moon as it’s pretty much the biggest event on the kiting calendar.  Sam Light got another invite joining the other 2 brits Tom Court and Aaron Hadlow which means there’s going to be 4 brits representing this year.  Massive props as its pretty much a meeting of the top 20 freeriders in the world.  All set for 7 days of partying and riding.

So back in Egypt with my long time Swiss friend Marco from Bigdazy.com.  Had some wind and feels good to get riding again.  Very rusty and ankle isn’t 100% but starting to come back.  Here’s a few images so far.

Going to be out here for another 3 weeks then off to the states for the liquid force product shoot and got an invite for the triple S in June so suuuuper stoked to be riding in that.  Hopefully get my riding back up to scratch and ready for a big week!

Pretty cool interview with Extreme.  Check it out:

Last week i’ve been down in Poole doing my National Trainers course. Good to hang with the guys down in Poole and hopefully be back there this summer for sometime. Next week i’m heading back out to Egypt to do some filming for Stance and some BKSA inspections before heading out to the States for May.

Stay tuned for news, pics and video in the weeks to come.

So the first of my coaching dates this season have been finalised.  Take a look at whats planned here: The Kitesurf Centre

Few good bits of coverage whilst i’ve been away in Australia for the winter, my god its cold back home, hopefully it’ll warm up soon for some kiting!
