Lengh: 176 cm.
Weight: 55 kg.
Early 2002,
Kite's: Wippi AB 8,4 , 11.8 , Hydro 7.
Board: SS Drake 147.
Was quite happy with this kit, worked well with a few damages and the usual learnig misstakes... x-ept for the Hydro 7 (i f-ing hate that kite
been out in 15 m/s + and still culd not get decent or even amount of power out of it...
Late 2002,
Became a team rider for SS Sweden, got on the 02 fuel ( 8, 10, 14) same board.
Everything became som much easyer with a lower AR kite (much better kite controll while jumping, and all my attension could be focused on the trick at hand... much better quality in material and sewing and so on... nog jellyfishing, a much more forgiving and stable kite in pure quallity
Also got my hands on a KPS boom, this is the shit! i wont use anything else now days (3 kite's one 50 cm bom and thats all u need), it's just the feeing of being able to do almost all the tricks and still always wear a leash and being safe
as a bonus i got this little bag to protect and help me ceep track off where i put the little bastard...
2003,
Still SS, now fuel 9, 13, 17 (yes i like riding overpowerd
These kite's are great! specially the 17 i just love this size
the lift and the hangtime is amazing! still it's controlable would compare it to a 14 m2 kite from 02 in speed and handling but more accurate and lots more depower/power. for the moment i'm on the SX 141 but im looking for a small light fast mutant style (will probably be a custom
, the Sx is great nice and floaty for low winds but still the famous SS grip in the rails... lot's of pop and quite light...
On top of this i use a drysuit like the pyro for the coold seson (8 months/year) and a 3mm shorty and a rashguard + board shorts for the warm days...
And offcourse no kit is complet wihtout a god transport
mine is a baby blue VW van called "mitzi" but thats another story...

I think that''s all the gear for now... enjoy...
