Egypt power hours and Pwa chat

The wind has dropped off a little bit recently (still been on my 4.7 hahah) we've been having some sick early morning power hours i've dialled in my Culo's now and next time its 4.2 weather I'm determined to film double Culo hahah pretty insane but I rekon I could do it.

 Even though it hasn't been windy during the days we've been watching the Pwa freestyle event on Feurterventura wich has kept us entertained the whole event was INSANE I watched pretty much all of it thanks to the Pwa live stream. the wind looked like it was gunna suck for the event but it picked up enough to run both a single and a double elimination.
The single had some upsets with Dieter van der Eyken taking out current world champion Steven van broekhoven which was sick to see Dieter sailed a clever heat he also unvailed his new move the "FREEK" which is kinda like a switch cheese roll it looks rad, also gollito put down his new move the airflaka into shaka wich he's named the "Pasko
Pasko – Jose ‘Gollito’ EstredoFreek Crash – Dieter van der Eyken

In the double Steven climbed all the way back to the top and faced Gollito in the final both of them sailed at new level but gollito won with a Pasko and a sick Air chacho but also to mention Steven nailed a shove-it air spock wich was SO high I wouldn't have liked to be a judge. In the womens of course Sarah-quita killed it but in the semi she really stepped it up and landed skopu, burner and regular kono's she would have easily beaten most of the men she's a real inspiration to any female freestylers out there, Also like to make a shout out to Arrianne aukes who fought all the way through the doulble and defeated Yoli de brendt to take 3rd place, her first podium finish congrats dude!  hahah check my blog in a few days when the winds back :D      .

MEGA-TUNA and Kabikuchi's


Soo quick update of what im doing, im out in Dahab training for the competitive season back in the Uk for a few weeks as I want to get a podium finish on the UKWA tour this year, but its not going to be easy as all the Uk guys are sailing really well at the moment but im gunna train hard and cross my fingers :D
So far the wind has been great out in Dahab and ive been sailing almost everyday on my North I.D 4.7 and 5.3 and have learnt a new move: Kabikuchi's pretty exited about these as it's a cool move to see, basically you start a high and fast regular kono then change direction mid air and spin a spock wich is pretty tech but ive got them pretty dialled now which is awsome will try and film one tommorow :D

Also just a quick Picture of whats been named the "MEGA-TUNA" our friends Miles and Emma bought for us hahahha it's soso big in real life #lovetuna..
