Well me, Titaua and Kailea moved back to Huahine island where Titaua was born, and where we spent lots of time before Kailea.

I think the wind god followed me from NZ, it was good almost everyday. It’s so good to discover this spot once again with better skill. We rode for hours in such good waves with different wind directions, and I thought the island was small, but actually it’s not, we did some down winders for 20 km on each side, that was just perfect.

Maybe you don’t want to know why it’s a perfect spot, because we have lot’s of flat water, many choices for waves, we don’t have to drive hours and the most important thing, the kiters population is 4.

Yep, not really crowded on week end like at the beach club in Moorea. So now Kailea can learn kiting without ass…. everywhere around her, she loves it.

If some people want to join us before my departure in December for the snow again, just contact me or log on www.chasta.info.

So here we have a video which is pretty mellow, but so nice to see the potential all around. The hard thing is there’s almost no beach for launching, pretty hard for real beginners, but with our Ozone, there’s not any problem.

Can’t wait to try the new ones.

So have good wind

Chasta Snowkite Camps
1-8 August, 2009 Full Moon
8-15 August, 2009
29 August – 5 September 2009 Full Moon

Boarder Patrol’s Snowkite Camps are freewheeling adventures chasing the wind around the Southern Alps.  We’ll pick you up at the airport on day 1 and deliver you back completely windblown on the last day.  In between we’ll either stay in remote mountain huts where the kiting is right outside the door, or in Queenstown or Wanaka where we have access to the region’s nightlife.  We have endless miles of flat and rolling terrain for beginners and freestyle sessions as well as steeper bowls and ridges to challenge those with more experience looking to push their limits.

The week will start with an opportunity to tune and transform the various kiting rigs for optimum use on the snow.  The first session will be getting to know the terrain and riding abilities of the group.  The camp is all about maximum progression for each person and having a blast.  Ozone will be supplying demo gear including a range of 2010 kites just released! You’ll have the opportunity to try different kites and rigs and find what works best for your style of riding.  Each day we will assess the conditions and pick terrain and missions appropriate to the various levels of riding within the group. The camp is open to beginners through to experienced snowkiters.
