• Liquid Force ’12 Shoot Day 4

    We headed out early in hopes of riding a secret spot, after arriving it wasn’t going to work. So we gathered the crew we headed to this great offshore flat-water spot.   It was dead off shore with the next stop being South Africa.  The guys did great., we got some great shots until the sun rose to full noon.  The next stop was lunch and then an expedition to Kite Beach for the evening session.  I shot in the water tonight, which was a great change of pace.

  • Scheid on Cover of Kite Spain

    Kiteboarder Brandon Scheid and I picked up another cover from the 2010 Liquid Force Photo Shoot in Cape Hatteras, NC!  Kite Spain ran this shot of Brandon.  He was sessioning the LF Wall Ride they built out of recycled materials.  A lot of great content came out of that terrific session.

  • Liquid Force ’12 Shoot Day 3

    Day 3 started with an adventure North in search of waves and wind.  We wound up finding a couple really fun looking breaks, but the wind didn’t come through.  We took a look around and then headed back to town.  After gathering the rest of the crew we wondered over to Kite Beach to try and bag some shots.  The wind picked up enough for the guys to get on the water and we shot until sunset!

  • Liquid Force ’12 Shoot Day 2

    Day two started with a great breakfast followed by some meetings, then it was off to the beach.  We packed up and headed to a near by beach to shoot video of the new gear.  The wind never really picked up for the guys to do their thing, so Slezy, Moe, Brandon and I headed to were we surfed yesterday.  I played and shot in the beach break as a perfect sunset glowed in the background.

  • Liquid Force ’12 Shoot Day 1

    After over 34 hours of travel, we arrived in Cabo Verde.  Better yet, all the gear arrived too.  The next morning we walked down the street to have breakfast at a local resturant by the town square.  We spent the rest of the morning spot checking potential riding locations.  This is a very beautiful place with great colors, very blue water and amazing contrast.  Wind turned up for a little while and the crew found a little wave that we kited and then surfed as the wind dropped.  I had a couple really fun waves before we packed it in and headed back to home base.  We headed to  Angulo’s place for a sunset drink and surf.

  • Chest High Ocean Kitesurfing

    The wind has still been on full blast since the beginning of Spring in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.   The REAL Crew headed to ramp 23 for an Oceanside kitesurfing downwinder.  The waves were fun about chest high and the guys were on 7 and 9m kites.

  • Liquid Force Photo Shoot 2012

    The Liquid Force Global Team will be headed to Cabo Verde this week to take part in the annual product photo shoot. After the 2011 Liquid Force Photo Shoot, I’m really looking forward to spending more time and shooting with this great group of talented people. Cabo Verde is located off the West coast of Africa.
