Slingshot Update 1. The Kiteboarder Expo, La Ventana Mexico 01-22-01

Well, been pretty chill here the today... but yesterday there was some mid-light on shore wind that made for some decent riding and probably made for some killer shots of the event... Heli' Choppa from La Paz did a fly-by and feed live footage to MEX LA PAZ Channel uno, it was awesome. . . Even though the days been slow a few riders hit the of shore winds to kill it in the flat water that seems not to happen all to often here. Little gusty on shore, but once you got out a few foot ball fields it was pretty nice. Some headed to the coast but it seemed pretty cloudy out towards them parts. Hopefully they got it good. Big sea's I've have heard.

So anyway the days should be better with Sunday being the BIG DAY... But for now its time for the Reggae band down at the beach. Very irie last time I saw them and the beach party should be sweet! Cool

till the next post.. Alien

So demos are going... Yesterday was pretty good wind with tons of riders riding on shore for demos. Pretty crazy and had a couple kite crashes to liven things up a bit.

Super cloudy today early morning but pretty windy. Forecast calls for clearing and nuke winds, this will be a easy day to demo. Small kites! Twisted Evil See if I can't any swell photos at the booth.

Freestyle... just like the Misfit/Lunacy. Definitely had more low-end than my Lunacy 129 though.

Well if you say so, but the Darko is a sick board and untill you get to demo one you just have no clue... Didn't your mom teach you don't judge a book by its cover... Darko you just might not get, maybe to young... Wink

Well folks that wrapz things up in Ventana. The last two days really made the event with killer high winds for all to rip a lip or pop a swell. It was great to see so many kiters out there... What a view, up the beach... Kites for 8... Wink

Even got a couple days to ride myself with strapless surf for the first couple sessions and ending with twin tip freeride up at Joes on the Darko... Sick board for the chop, fast as hell, and land super smooth.... It will be my choice for 2010.

Till next year, PEACE!

PostWed Jan 27, 10 6:12 am    Yea, Key??? You gotta remember I'm special ed. Reply with quote

I was looking at the pic thinking that something was obscuring the top of the R. So, the key is a flat kite, I like that.

I'm so ready to try the Key, RPM and all of it.

Nice,
