Today was a great day, im in venezuela at the moment competing in the PKRA world tour.. my first heat was in coche, theres perfect flat water there and good wind! i had a really hard first heat against Alex Pastor from spain, i rode really well and it was close then he got a double pass right at the end which took it for him but i was still happy with how i rode.
So i had another chance in the double elimination, i had a lot of heats to get through to do well, my british comrads were ripping, tom court riding north is now in 7th position, and aaron hadlow won the singles once again. i went through 3 heats back to back, the first two were against the local wild cards who were ripping on home turf, i progressed through them without too much trouble, i then came up against a russian guy i think whos doing the tour whos good but rides with his kite high. i got down some good powered passes to take the win and go through. The next heat i had was Alvero Oneiva from spain whos one of the top riders on the tour, i had harsh landings on the first few tricks but got close to pulling it back with a frontmobe to blind but couldnt handle the harsh choppy conditions on the landing. so i didnt go through which meants i came 9th overall which is my best position yet on the tour! so im stoked.

Hi, sorry i havnt updated my site in a while as you can see i have been revamping it. what do you think? its still got a bit of work to do yet though.
Firstly iv been up to loads latley i was out in the south of France for the PKRA, at the Mondial Du Vent, it was really wind and gusty, i came 17th which is alright but i think i can do much better. When i got back i had to go straight to the first round of the BKSA and Watergate Bay down in cornwall. It was my first trip in the van, i took my girlfriend and headed down. I had a really good weekend but the wind wasnt great. They didnt run the comp but we went to other beaches and had a few good sessions. and we checked out the eden project on the way back which was pretty cool.
and right now im sat in El Yaque in Venezuela! i got here yesturday afternoon, the hotel is nice. I went out for a kite and stood on a f@@king fish! and my foot has swelled up, hopefully ill be alright to kite on it!! im going to try and get to coche today it should be epic. I have always dreamed of going there! so ill let you know how i get on!!

Hi, so skiing was really good, i made a video check it out! here
i just got back from 10 days in Egypt, at this new kitesurf destination at Sham El Sheikh, i went with Ali Barratt, Tom from KiteItRight, and Kev and Sam from Ainsdale, we met up with some other people out there as well. The spot was pretty good we got every day, but the wind could have been better, often it was really frustrating and dropped off at 12 oclock. We are writing and article on it, check Alibarratt.co.uk for more info.
I learnt a lot about editing in Egypt, i recently bought a new camera, and Kev who was out in Eygpt gave me a few tips on filming and editing. Make sure you check out his video ill put it on here when hes finished it, should be epic!
So heres my video from Egypt, let me know what you think!
Check out this other edit as well here

Still rubbish wind in England, got out a few times, last weekend i did some filming for a sky sports pilot show which was pretty cool, we managed to get out at my secret spot in the harbour because the wind was offshore and would have been gusty on the front beach, but yea i think we got some good footage and interviews. Also i have been in the Portsmouth Evening News about three times in the last month which is really cool, twice for the events and i was voted for as an entrance sportsman of the year. And in my local paper the Hayling Islander they did a an article so latley its been pretty good for coverage!
I have been to the cable loads latley too, got myself a new pimp wakeboard!! its really good i love it at the moment, iv been going up with aaron and lew, neil and murry and a mate from college.
Im getting my pimp oneill team suit soon, ill put a picture up on here as soon as i get it! ha cant wait!
