AWSI Hood River

After Rooster Rock, The nudist adventure. We headed back to tha HOOD. Found this sweet camp spot on Post Canyon Rd. Slept there for the night. Really nice and quite, no trains hauling coal freight at 3am.

Anyway after a good evening of drinking and talking kite stories. We all headed down to town to get coffee. Who is the first people we run into at the coffee shop? KITERS, Sheldon and Renee from Decosse customs talking with Julian and Slezak about the winter snowboard line up for LF. I am Stoked to see there are more brands that are going to be serious about the snow for 2010!

Also stoked to see Decosse because, they are making me skis this year for the 2010 race season(Thank you for the new Ride!). I want to win this years US Snowkite Nationals again for 2010. Mark your calenders and come race, February 25-28. Most of the event will be held on the weekend. www.snowkitemasters.com but for those of you that are hard core snow kiters come earlyer and kite!

Anyway AWSI was cool. Got to meet and greet with alot of friends, riders and manufactures. Was stoked that there were that many brands there. Ozone got to show off the new 2010 C4 and demo out the Zephyr. Lots of talk on the C4, new generation of the C kite is going to be the ticket. C shape, C power, C friendly and Usable!!

Not only did I get to try the new C4. But I also got to rock out on the new Underground surf boards! They ride really smooth in the chop and carve turns like no other board. The board has flex and it makes the turns more progressive.

I also have to thank Bill Morrissey of Dakine. To stop and take the time to talk to me about snowkiting and the Snow Kite Masters. Thank you once again of the continued support of snowkiting, and also for the new harness.


Check out the next blog for the Zephyr!! The ultimate in light wind fun and Performance.
