Quick update.........

Blimey it's been a while since we did our last blogg!

So much to report....obviously it's been an amazing hot sunny summer but on the down side to this has been the distinct lack of wind here in S.Wales (and much of the UK)

Still there has been loads happening here in the world of Blast.

The Blast Bus is now pretty much complete and only a few minor things waiting to be done including a diesel heater for the winter months.
 
 Pretty easy to see where we got the graphics from hey!
Epic!

We ran our first full group trip to Hatteras in Outer Banks USA back in May
Ten of us flew out to Epic Kites home for a full fourteen days of wind, it could not have gone better tbh
The Hatteras Video!
 

It wasn't long after returning from Hatteras that we were once again flying off on a group trip, this time to our regular spot in Portugal.
Once again we scored 14 out of 14 days of wind especially the second week with consistant winds in the 30's plus!

As well as all these trips we have managed to get quite a few lessons in when it has blowed. We also did a trip to North Wales for an awesome weekend lit on 5-7m kites.
When it hasn't been blowing we have managed a few cable sessions wakeboarding, great alternative for no wind days, and of course a few great sessions on the SUP's.

We have just returned from the National Watersports Festival in Hayling Island where there was very little wind but a great show of kite brands as well as all the usual windsurf ones.
 
We even managed to get a light wind session on the V3 Infinity...a testament to how well this kite works in light winds. For a good while it was the only kite flying upwind in the extreme low winds.

I'm pretty damn sure we have missed loads more but thats enough for now and we will update with more info when we remember what else we have done!

The Blast Annual Portugal Trippin' 2012

So it's been another year and another awesome trip for Blast to thier little spot in Portugal. This is the 5th year that Blast have run this trip so we know the area well, knowing the local conditions helps us to know where to stay,where to kite and when!
The Video is just a snippet of the action from this trip, it was a great mix of people from all over the UK. Unfortunately we only had the GoPro so didnt get footage of the group much but do have plenty of pics.

There are a lot of photo's on our facebook page...we can load them up easily there!

Zenith Ocean Voyages

Blast are super stoked to have hooked up big time with the guys at Zenith Ocean Voyages. I will be spending a month Teaching (and lots of scubbing the decks so I've been told) from next month.

I met the owners Ged and Susy a few years back while kitesurfing abroard and have watched them work hard ever since to start there new venture together. This is not just a dream it truly is a passion and bloody hard graft too. Ged has already worked on Charter Yachts for many years and they are both super keen kitesurfers too.

I will post up here and on our blog updates whenever I can get wifi. It's planned that we will be in some wavespots during the trip.

They also have a planned visit for Naish Pro rider and photog to be with us for a week too so it will be cool to report on this from an regular kitesurfers point of view. No idea yet who this will be.

Exciting times at Blast Kiteboarding....................

BOOM!
