Sumbawa - Lakey Peak 2011 - Cabrinha Drifter

Hello friends,

this year the trip to Lakey coincide with the transition of kites that I use from Ozone to Cabrinha.

The CAB Drifter is an excellent choice for Waves and I'm very happy to use them. We had a good trip for both waves and wind. I add some pics from 2010 when I did not get enough images to make a gallery. You should be able to spot them!!!

Many thanks to Mommet for the photos. see album

Hello friends,

another year is gone, after my annual trip to Lakey the kite season is definitely over... and we are already looking at the 2010 season!

October is not the good month in Sumbawa but still we got couple of good days!

With more and more years under our bells we can now confirm that the best months for Lakey for both swell and winds are August and September

Many thanks to Grommit for the photos. see album

Hello guys,

for the last week I have been testing the new Light Wind Kite from Ozone, the 17m Zephyr.

The kite is great and thanks to the low end I had a great day at Oka point, the outside reef of Sanur!

Wind was 8 to 12 knots from South that is very rare and makes the Waves there almost side shore..

The other kiter is Jonathan with a Light XC 14m.

Many thanks to Atsushi for the photos. see album

This year the wind is not really collaborating with us...

We had only few days but some were really memorable! This are picks from a July session at our home spot. Nice to have many friends in the water!!

Jonathan on the White Ozone, Gianpaolo on the White Bandit, Jerome on the White Best and of course me..

Many thanks to Pablo for the magnificent pictures!!!

Is nice to see the progression of riders and equipment true the years! 2008 was a good year for wind and waves.. I really love my new Jimmy Lewis 5'8 and the Ozone Light II, I felt confident and I pushed my limit... I hope that it does show!!!

It was a huge surprise when one day Robby showed up at our beach in Canggu and share some wave with us.

Wow what a spectacle! The king is always the king....

After the session we rushed to meet him and all of us got photo taken with him!

Is was super friendly and took some time to talk with us.

Hope to have you here again....

Hello friends,

This is a blast from the past! In 2003 we organized a kitesurfing competition in Sanur Bali that passed to history... With more then 25 participants was a great success and we would like to keep it in our memory forever. You will see in the images some of the old friends that are still kiting today in Bali.

Here we are at the real beginning!!!!

I made a collage of all the old photo I could find on my computer... From the first group photo of locals kitesurfer to friends that visited us and some real relics... Like my first time out on a wipika classic 8'5 or the first pictures on my Naish 11'5....
