Six years ago I had my first experience with Egypt when I decided that I wasn’t ready for a normal working life. After three years of intensive studying at university I was in desperate need of a change. I decided that becoming a kiteboarding instructor and taking a position teaching kiting in Egypt for the summer would give me the chance to both improve my riding and get a well-earned break.
Here is a little teaser for the up and coming release of the Ripslix/Steez Free Ride Project kiteboarding movie that will be dropping later in 2012. Aiming to release in May, this longer DVD style edit will follow Tom Court, Aaron Hadlow, Sam Light, and James Boulding through 2011. See them hitting some amazing spots around the world and rocking some international competitions...
I've been really trying to work on my style, cutting out any dingo danglo tricks and pushing more powered and kite low tricks, that i'm going into with a lot more speed. Powering in at the take off just makes landings twice as rewarding and in my opionion give a much more fluid look and feel.
