Lagoa do Sonho - update!

Friday, January 18th, 2008

It has been a while since the last update.

So, what is the status? Is the lagoon happening?

The construction of the lagoon, private houses, apartments  and guest house has not been started yet, since they are waiting for the road to be finished. Two roads will be build, one to the lagoon project, one to the resort project.

One road is almost finished, the other will take some more weeks. But to start construction it is needed for the road to be finished to be able to get all materials to where they are needed. Some dunes stop the trucks from doing so.

Furthermore the actual size and location is not 100% sure yet, some more wind tests and trials are needed to get the best setup possible. End of Januray they should have more info regarding this. Then maybe the site plan will be changed.

If you want further info about this, I’m happy to help out, since I will follow this project until it will be finished.

Just e-mail me: info@kiteforum….

But here you can see already pictures of the construction of the road.

Old School Video

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Some weeks ago I put the teaser for my old school video online.

Click here to see the teaser.

I’m still collecting footage, but it is not easy, since there are only such few old school riders who can do high level old school.

And so many times no one films me so footage is hard to become.

Since some days the wind is disturb by the rain, so now we need some days with a bit more wind, to get more footage.

I also have been practicing new board off moves, including a 720 off-axis. Now I need to train more to make it stylish, meaning fully stretched, both axises. And I have more ideas for new moves.

I also regularly land my 4 times rotation board off. Still need to get it on tape though!

Currently Walter and Claudia from windkraftsport.com are here in Cumbuco and are shooting awesome pictures daily.

Go to windkraftsport.com and check all of them!

They did these nice pictures from me:

Stay tuned for the video, coming maybe in 4 weeks!
