- 19th june:
After hurting myself a lot during this winter in New Caledonia, it's coming back in Spain that I began to ride again. My brother and me are trying to develop a smooth riding, to enjoy the essence of kitesurfing. Step by step I gonna ride stronger, but I don't want to push hard too quick, so as to recover perfectly.
We just create a new page called Road Movie (in the Menu), where you can find different parts of our new video production. Each one will be filmed in different countries, beginning with Spain, then Italy, Turkey, Marrocco, and more.
So we are proud to present you the first chapter of it, called "Un poquito de luz".
- 5th june:
Since two weeks my brother Thomas and me are beginning to do new video. We are really excited to film again!... Spring is a very good time of the year to do some images in Andalucia (south of Spain), because of the smooth and beautiful light until late in the evening.
In less than 3 weeks we are going to Como Lake (Italy), for the first stage of the Kiteboard Pro World Tour 2007. After this event we will spend some time there, and later we will continue to travel, compete, and film in Greece, Turkey and Marrocco.
My ankle is better, but still not at 100%, so I've got to ride softly... Soon will be on line some images.
