Yesterday Fabian Huelsen, my cameraman, who also filmed "I do it my way" arrived.
Today we gonna do the first filming for testing the equipment. More later!

Day 1:

Wind: around 20 knots
Location: Duro Beach, Cumbuco
Kite: Dyno 18
Lines: 25m
Board: Flyradical 128x38

Got some good stuff on cam already, like a double spin kick flip beach start!
We still need to get used to the cam.

Just flying:

Day 2:

Wind: around 19 knots
Location: Duro Beach, Cumbuco
Kite: Dyno 18
Lines: 25m
Board: Flyradical 128x38

Again nice conditions with some sweet waves as kickers. Filmed some nice tricks with good altitude.
18 was perfect choice for lots of hangtime and flying.

Barefoot Slide into wave:

Day 3:

Wind: around 17 knots
Location: Cauipe Lagoon
Kite: Dyno 18
Lines: 25m
Board: Flyradical 128x38

Awesome afternoon session at the Cauipe lagoon.
I landed some really hard tricks like handle to handle or my latest trick the "fin board spin handle catch handle kick flip board pass"!
We did film from the side and also nice shots jumping over the camera for close ups.

King deadman:

Day 4:

Wind: around 14 knots
Location: Duro Beach, Cumbuco
Kite: Dyno 18
Lines: 25m
Board: Flyradical 128x38

Lighter wind and nice kickers. Not much filming today.
I did some lower stuff and transitions etc.
Every good clip counts!

Jesus Walk 720:

Day 5:

Wind: around 20 knots
Location: Taiba and Taiba Lagoon
Kite: Dyno 18
Lines: 25m
Board: Flyradical 128x38

We filmed about 1 hour in the ocean in front of Taiba...quiet wavy, got some nice airs.
Then I did a downwinder to the lagoon in Taiba and we filmed about 2 more hours there...it was perfect for barefoot slides!
And I even landed a new trick: Kick Flip Bare Foot Slide!
Pretty tricky, since I have to go very fast, and then kicking the board AND catching it at that speed is not easy! I hope we got it one tape!

Day 6:

Wind: 19-25 knots
Location: Ilha do Guajiru, Praia da Barra
Kite: Dyno 18
Lines: 25m
Board: Flyradical 128x38

Stronger wind, me fighting the 18 with all my weight!
But landed really hard tricks where I need lots of hangtime, e.g. Kick Flip with triple board pass.

Handle 360:

Day 7:

Wind: 18-22 knots
Location: Ilha do Guajiru, Secret Spot
Kite: Dyno 18
Lines: 25m
Board: Flyradical 128x38

Wow, what a day! 5 hours of riding and filming!
I am soooo exhausted...but did several new tricks I didn't try yet: Dark Slide Grab, Dark Slide Grab then 360, Front Foot Slide Board Spin etc.
Soo many tricks, that I will post more pictures than just one

Day 8:

Wind: around 20 knots
Location: Ilha do Guajiru, Praia da Barra
Kite: Rebel 16
Lines: 25m
Board: Flyradical 128x38

Took a smaller kite today to have less power and relax the body a bit
Did some jumps, not too high, but did a new jump, inverted 360 with board flip.
And some other stuff, from a nice angle from the second floor of a building.
Also did many transitions, and some I never did before (720 boardoff transition).
