We meet up with Mike and Amy in Manteo, NC for a quick engagement shoot. We had a great time exploring the area and finding some fun places to shoot.

Kitesurfing Rodanthe
It was again windy today. I went for two ocean-side Kiteboarding sessions today. The first one at lunch, it was blowing 23 as we packed all the gear. By the time we made it to S-Turns it dropped 10 knots! It was a pretty rough ride as it was difficult to be in the right place when you were that under powered.
The evening session was fun! We went to Lulu’s house where Jason, Brandon, Sammy, Lulu and Tommie all rode for a while, until the current was too strong and then went down the coast a bit to my house and called it a day. Both sessions I rode the 2011 Liquid Force 8m Havoc and my Surftech 6’1 board.
Thanks for the photos Mel!

Scheid in The Kiteboarder
his photograph of Kiteboarder Brandon Scheid appeared in The Kiteboarder Magazine. Brandon is nose pressing the Liquid Force Wall Ride during the 2011 LF product shoot. This is a very difficult technical trick, which requires the rider to jump off the water onto the wall and instead of displacing their weight equally, they have to lean forward and place the majority of the weight on the front foot.

Jackson Hole Day 1
In the biting cold we packed the trucks and headed to the airport. Salt Lake City is expecting over a foot of snow the following day, which will make the 5.5 hour drive to Jackson Hole, WY pretty time critical.
This trip started well as we arrived to the airport with a near red carpet experience. Somehow, Jason and I qualified for the “get out of jail cause your hot card” option., from the nice ladies at the check in counter. Jason had two over weight roller bags and I had a roller bag, regular bag and a 70lbs pelican case.
Two planes, hundreds of pages and a movie or two down and we arrived in Salt Lake City with all our gear ready to hit the road to Jackson Hole. We had tentative plans to grab Tekko’s RV for our adventure. We got all the details from him except the actual location of where to pick it up. Hmmmm… So we rented a car and headed south the only direction Jason got, we randomly pulled off the highway about to grab food when we got Tekko’s text with the address. I quickly plugged it into the GPS and over 2:03 away really!?!?…. Wow this day just got longer, that’s when we looked at the distance that read 1.5 miles, YES! That whole time zone thing will get you. Crisis #1 averted. We arrived to the house where the RV was gated in and with a watchdog. I was just waiting for everything to come crashing down, but the RV started with no problem and we were off on our 5 hour drive North East to Jaskson Hole…
… after a few hundred miles, snow rabbits, deer, an owl and a moose we arrived in Jackson Hole. Fletch and Jason came to pick us up as the RV wasn’t going to made it down the narrowly plowed back road with 10-15 foot snow piles on either side. Exhausted after a full days travel the beer was a simple yet rewarding prize. We stayed up and chatted for a few hours by the fireplace before crashing out.
