Just spoke to him- packing and sorting his things out to come home. Looks like its going to be a late one as prizegiving is not until 7 so fingers crossed.
He seemed chuffed- done a double kite loop (
) and was the only one to do that.
Sounds like he's had an awesome weekend- no doubt he'll fill you in more!

Just home, absolutely f'ked.
in short, crazy winds, crazy weekend, huge kitelopps inc a huge double kiteloop actually whilst in competition, on the podium with 3rd place (inc medal and money
).
Sounds great, but only 3 riders in comp. 1st place went to Will Mckean (Flexifoil pro rider) 2nd place went to Neil Oakland (Team Airboss sponsored rider) i came in 3rd.
I was the ONLY person to be flying a foil all weekend, and a fixed bridle at that. Every one else was on LEI's due to the conditions. So i didnt do half of the tricks i wanted to and no rotations, but everybody was struggling in 40-50mph + winds both days!
I too was the only one to throw a double kiteloop in our comp. Was absolutely f'kin massive... epic!
Pics and more info to come

Well done Frayz that really is a terrific achievement 
Please don't knock yourself by saying that you only came 3rd out of 3 !!
You was there competing with the best if not THE BEST , Freestyle buggier's in the UK , This really is an amazing feat & just shows your commitment & dedication to this wonderful sport
To think that it has not even been 1 year yet since the day you stole my buggy & Left me chatting to Michaela makes it even more of an achievement
Hopefully with the wind in the right direction we can fly together on Bank Holiday Monday mate

Yeah lets hope so. The race director nearly fell over when Will told him how long i had be riding.
He said he had never seen a double kiteloop in a buggy before and thought i was absolutely bonkers for throwing it. We all had such a great time, just makes me wanna push harder. Best of all, ive made some amazing friends and met some amazing people doing this sport now.
Ive got another sesh at Westward Ho! this weekend with the pro's and hopefully back for BH monday for a local fly. Lets hope the winds treat us good
