Cape Town 2012

From a handful of destinations to choose from for my pre-season training, once again, I chose to cross the Atlantic Ocean and land on the cold waters of Cape Town. It isn't for smooth winds nor flat water that most riders come here, probably most come for the constant wind that blow almost everyday through Cape Town's summer. I come for the challenge, for years this place has pushed me further then any other, drove me to almost insanity and extreme happiness, and delivered plenty of early morning glassy waves to feed my big passion for surfing.
I'm glad to be back again for another season, these last days when the wind was unbearably strong I felt like going somewhere a bit more forgiven up the mountains, only to find myself with the entire spot to myself, which these days is a rare thing around this area. Here's some pics from that session:

3rd Beazilina stop

The 3rd Brazilian stop took place in Vitoria- ES, we were really lucky to finish the single elimination right on the first day at 06:00pm since all of the others 4 days the wind didn't show up and the rain fell non stop.

With this win I'm 2011 Brazilian Champion!! I'm really happy to have achieved that and to have won the Nationals for 5X times now.

Just for fun I also competed on the males division and I came third behind the boys from Cumbuco that are incredible riders.

Cumbuco Nov/11

I've been here in Cumbuco training for the last stop of the PKRA in New Caledonia, as always Cumbuco delivered and I had a great time! here's some pics ;)

video + Super Kite Brasil 2011

The Super Kite Brasil 2011 just finished yesterday here in Cumbuco, the event was quite interesting since parat from Freestyle they also had a Surf Jam with big names such as ben Wilson, Ian Alldredge and Patrick Rebstock.

I won the Freestyle on the girls division and Alex Pastor won the men's, the leve for the guys was pretty high since all the Cumbuco boys joined in on the competition.

And about the Video!I totally forgot to post my DR video here, so for the ones that haven't watched yet, here it is:

2nd stop of the Brazil Kite Tour

I've just won the second stop of the Brazilian nationals here in Barra do Cunhau, we had a great event with wind every day and lots of young brazilian rippers to put up a great show.
Now I'll have a couple of days of to rest and prepare for the Pkra Brazil that starts here in only 2 days! I'm looking forward to see how the boys from Cumbuco will perform ;)
