Antigua/Barbuda short vids!

Didnt get much video from the trip with http://www.zenithoceanvoyages.com/ but did manage this little one, scared the sh*t out of me at 1st as it suddenly appeared in my face from nowhere.

Home again in the UK, till next time!

Well I have safely arrived back in the UK and obviously it's good to meet up with loved ones and mates....bring on the wind now, so many new toys to try!

I would like thank Susy & Ged of Zenith Ocean Voyages who I have had the huge pleasure of spending a month with in Antigua/Barbuda aboard thier yacht the "Meercat"

The experiences I had during this time will stay with me forever. If you are a kitesurfer do yourself a favour, check out their itinery for the rest of the season and book yourself on board a dream kitesurf trip to the Caribbean with a diference that you will treasure for ever.

Slumming it!

Another week slumming it onboard the "Meercat" with Zenith Ocean Voyages. Cant believe my month working with them is almost up....loved every minute of it too.

I have kited some of the best spots this planet can offer and also met some great guys, John, Nate, Flo, Domonique, Hans, Cecilia and of course Ged & Susy.

The food has been exceptional and cant think of anywhere I'd rather be kiting right now.

Another week in Paradise

Well another week is over and another group of clients are about to leave us here on the The Meercat. The past week we have had awesome winds in both Barbuda and Antigua at Green Island. The gusests have included a Norwegian couple plus some pro riders from Naish Kites, making a promo video to be released soon.
Next week is my last week with Zenith Ocean Voyages (for now at least) and we have a group of Russians joining us once again for our trip to Barbuda.
Then I fly home in time for the Blast Frozen Jam!
Good Times............

Back in Barbuda on the latest Zenith Trip

We've had an amzing few days now in Barbuda, up to 29knots and super flat water...you beauty!

We have two Norwegians, and three guys from Naish filming a video for future release.

Green Island, Antigua 12th Feb 2011

We've just travelled a few hours up the coast to Green Island just off the coast of Antigua. Pretty lumpy sail up here with some squalls coming through and a small swell running head on too.
The Zenith Ocean Voyages cat The Meercat is achored litterally right next to the spot although we will be launching off the back of the yacht anyway.
The kite spot here is a real small stretch of sand but once launched there is a huge bay of flat clear blue cystal water to play on. The wind is a little light at the moment (15knots) but there are still about 4-5 people out playing.
There is a school here 40Knots.net that operates here and wow what a place to run a school. All the teaching is done from the ribs following the students....very nice.

Antigua Carribean with Zenith Ocean Voyages

We have spent the past day or so making the Cat "ship shape" for the 1st clients since I have been here that arrive tomorrow Saturday 12th Feb.
This place is truly amazing,it simply does not look real as the colours are just so bright. The "Meercat " Cat is a fantastic boat for this kind of kitesurf holiday with planty of living space and also huge areas for storage of kite kit etc

Two more sleeps and I'll be in Antigua....Boom!
And guess what...its strong winds forecast all week...............even bigger Boom!

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!
