No mate, its crap and southerly with about 10mph.

You all missed today which was bang on easterly and we recorded 25mph. We were fully powered on or 6.5m's.

Crazy day with some crazy highs and big hangtime

Nah, wings would never be as fun.

No risk of falling out of the sky if you get it wrong with wings

Well guys, i'll be out tomorrow if there is wind. (Will be at the kitepark at some point for a meeting anyway)

However, im not too worried if there isnt any wind.

You may rememeber me saying i had a trip planned but couldnt say to where or who with.

Well, im off on monday morning for 10 days to a place called Quiberon on the West coast of France.
Its a small peninsular accessable by a causeway, and only a frew Km across. It has beaches and coves all the way around it meaning that no matter the wind direction we will always have an onshore spot to fly.

This is where Flexifoil did all the promo pics and videos for the "Blurr" that was released last year. This year im told it will be promo for the new Blade V as well as a jam session for the Flexi pro riders by invitiaion only.

Weather is predicted to be no less than 20 deg all next week.

Im really stoked to have been invited along with these guys. I basically get to spend over a week flying with some of the best buggiers, boarders and kitesurfers in the world. All in one of the most special places to fly in europe.

Im going with an insight to try and learn as much as i possibly can from these guys/girls.

Sunset sessions, BBQs and good times await.

Cant wait

Heres a link to Craigs blog on last years trip.
