Cumbuco and Fortaleza,
Brasil
When I came on the airport we had a
delay of 2,5 hours. so we had to wait like a long time.
at the check in I had only 22kg so that was cool and
than the girl said: im going to give you 1 kg to pay. so
it was ok. and where I had to pay I said im not going to
pay for 1kg so she let me of free. it was also like 30
euros a kg. well when we arrived at the airport in
fortaleza we had a ride to combuco so that was cool. im
staying at a place that is like 1 min walk from the
beach it cool. but its starting to get windy so im going
to go kiting.
we woke up at 5am becouse we had
jetlag. but the wind isnīt nice befor 10am so we had to
wait for a while. I put together my board and went to
check out aarons place and its pimping played some
guitar and had breakfast. the wind picked up and we made
a downwinder to the laguna with a 7m but the wind
dropped a bit half way so where sitting, waiting wishing
for some wind. but it didnīt came so we went home on
this pickup truck. we where loaded with 12 people and
gear. so on every bump we almost fell of. but we made it
safe and went to grap some snacks. I was so tiered so I
went to bed really early!
I woke up at 7:30 so
that was ok. had breakfast and checked out the beach. I
pumped my 11m2 but I had huge blisters on my hand of
working the kite so much the day before. I couldnīt do
nothing so i just went down to the laguna and chilled
there. tomorrow iīm going to take some pics and film a
bit so my hands can heal!
I woke up and chilled a
bit fixxed some things on my harnes and went out kiting
with my 13m2. it was a little bit underpowerd but it was
fun. my hands where not yet healed so it hurted a bit in
the salt water. We made a downwinder to the laguna and
that was sick! after a hour at the laguna the wind
dropped and I went to shore to wait for the ride home!
when I came home we grabbed some food and went to
sleep.
same thing was going on still not that
much wind so we went downwind to the laguna and chilled
there waited till the ride home. at night we had some
food. we chilled in Aarons room and had some drinks to
much! there was a best party going on that night and we
wanted to go there but I was to tiered and went to
sleep.
I woke up and heard what was going on at
the best party and what I forgot and stuff. Aaron made a
nice movie on his phone and when I saw it back I was
just rolling on the floor laughing! after that we just
went kiting like we do every day!
woke up had a
super nice breakfast at our pousada and went kiting.
down wind to the laguna with some massive kickers
(waves) coming in! half way down the wind picked up and
we where over powerd on 9m2. we came at the laguna and
chilled there, but it was a holiday here. so it was
super crowded. so we went of the water and waited a bit
and the people went away. but also the wind dropped a
lot.
we just got out of bed and the wind was
already blowing. were just waiting so it is going to be
a bit stadier. We had a pretty good session on our 7. it
was less bussy then the other day! so we had more space
and did some nice action. The day after we went down to
Paracuru what is up more north and there I tried the new
Flexifoil Fusion and guess what...its SICK!!That evening
after a while driving and getting lost in the buggy we
had a party in the jungle bar where we went, was pretty
sick! The next day we relaxed a bit and got our stuff
together to go to Fortaleza for the competition. we went
ther with a taxi and looked for a nice pousada. we went
to 2 and the seccond one was pretty nice. and only 10
min walk from the competition area. next morning after a
nice breakfast we went out for our first session and it
was good on 9m2 but it turned onshore and got
less.
today we went upwind with a buggy to make a
downwinder and I toke a 11m2 with me but we came there
and there was almost no wind. so I looped my way back
downwind. and chilled a bit till the wind picked up a
bit and tried it on a 15m2 but wasnīt enouf and I
cancled the day. weīre now waiting for the
registration
This morning we woke up at 6:30
couse the skippers meeting was at 7:00. got ready and
pumped our kites. I was up in the first heat against
Gonzalez, and 2 other guys. The flags where hanging so
low that you couldn't see if they where up or not.
suddenly everybody was doing tricks and I looked again
to the flags and the green flag was up. so I had to did
some stuff but didn't advance. so I got to go to the
second round and won my heat...and got to the 3rd round
where I got to go against Rui Miera and lost this heat.
So I didn't make it to the main event. So the rest of my
time here I use to train
I wasn't in the main
event. So I made myself usefull with running people back
upwind. Ruben won the single elemination and kevin
became second. in the double Aaron went from the 2nd
round al the way up against Ruben in the final. becouse
the wind wasn't that good the double elemination took
till sunday morning. The final was Aaron vs Ruben and
Ruben won the heat and became the winner in the
freestyle. after the freestyle they did the wave event.
but I went with Madison downwind to the laguna. and that
was pretty nice. the only problem was that we had to
walk back, but half way we saw a buggy and we paid 10R$
to bring us home so that was sweet |
