  • Cape Hatteras Spring 2013

    It was a great trip to Cape Hatteras, NC. It was packed with surfing, kiteboarding, skateboarding and a little relaxing after a year of school.

  • Scheid Business Cards

    Brandon Scheid sent over a few photos of his new business cards!

  • November on Lake Michigan

    It was a great day on Lake Michigan, and it was hard to believe it is November. There were 10-15 surfers out and 5-6 kiters. We had fun chest high waves, even though we heard that the waves were better earlier in the day. The wind was great. It was slightly offshore and I rode my 12m really powered for hours.

  • Cover of Where Magazine

    Julien Fillion and I joined forces to get the cover of Where Magazine.

  • Great Lakes Kiteboarding Press

    The Kiteboarder Magazine published a piece about kiteboarding on the Great Lakes. The piece features a few images from trips to the West-side of Michigan this past fall. A couple of the images were from the trip to northern Michigan kiteboarding with Brandon Scheid.

  • Summer Michigan Kiteboarding

    We had a fun mission to the West Coast of Michigan. Edgar and I joined up with the crew in Muskegon. The conditions were not quite up to the projected forecast, but we still had a blast! Here are the pics from the trip. PS thanks for the shots Edgar.

  • Late Spring in Traverse City

    It was a terrific weekend in Traverse City Michigan. Mel ran in the Bay Shore Marathon. It was a beautiful early morning on the bay, to head down to go cheer her on. Later in the weekend, we had time to meet up with friends, play volleyball, golf and even got some kiteboarding in. It was also hard to not notice the low level of the traverse bay.

    Though there was a south wind most of the weekend (that i’m sure was pushing out some of the water), there were many docks that were completly out of the water. This was a bit startling to see such seemingly drastic changes in water level on the Grand Traverse West Bay.

  • Spring Kiteboarding in Muskegon

    Edgar, Amer, Eric and I missioned across the state to try and catch a kiteboarding session in Muskegon Michigan. With gale-force winds in the forecast, we were all more than excited to hit the water. We packed up and headed out early and arrived to a few kites up on the clear blue water and a heavy fog in the distance. The wind was cranking for a 2 hour session, but unfortunately the waves never built. Just as we got warmed up the wind died out.

    It was a great time to give my buddy Casey a go with a full inflatable on the beach as we waited for the wind to pick back up. It was not until a few hours before sunset when the wind slowly built back up. Casey came out to shoot a few photos and a little video. The best was the last session of the day were a couple of us rode inside the jetty in very flat water that was perfect for some wake tricks. Thanks for the clips and photos Casey and it was great to see the crew out there ripping!

  • Kiteboarding Ohio’s Lake Erie

    We stopped in Ohio on the way back from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The wind was falling quick but we found a great spot to go for a quick session. By the time we got rigged and changed the wind was barely enough to ride. I gave it a few tries, down winding on each one. I can’t wait to ride here again, there are some great kickers and a terrific background for shooting.
