Heres a vid I put together from the other day. As it was the last day of the tide for the nets it meant I was able to film both fishing and kiting in the same day as we didn't shoot back. This is my normal routine for most of the year, but normally in Jan its too dark to fit both in. Was real rough in the morning and couldnt get any good footage with the Go Pro on my head but the wind dropped off a bit for the last 2 nets.
Luckily it picked up again after we got in and I started off on the Rebel 9m with chest mount before moving onto the Rebel 7 with line mount.
Bit of a dodgy edit but i'm only now getting used to Premier Pro. Got a professional making my wrap up vid of 2011 and also some exciting new projects so stay tuned for more to come!
Hope you enjoy this little insight into my world!

We had a great day Kitesurfing at Marazion Cornwall yesterday, Saturday 14th Jan for the KKC Frostbite gathering. With 2012 kit available to test from North, Slingshot and Ocean Rodeo and a SE wind blowing at 20-25knts the 40 or so kitesurfers that came along put up with the cold 6 degree temps on the beach and had some great times in the water boosting some big airs and learning some new stuff by watching some of the pro riders who came along to help with the demo kit. I even went on the Twin Tip and boosted some massive airs on the new 2012 Fuse 10m.
We then all went back to Lodeys for a chilli and mulled wine/cider while watching the days action on the big screen, thanks to Mel from Splashography.

The next club meet is in March at Watergate for the AGM followed by a big party.

Well the wind has finally stopped in Cornwall today after blowing non stop since my return from Cape Verde. Its been stupidily windy and ive only missed a few days on the water, a couple cause it was gusting 10-40knts and new years as was up in London. Other than that ive mostly been out on the 6m Rebel and its mostly been on the south coast with some amazing days at marazion and praa. Unfortunately to huge swell back in mid dec washed all the sand away from the super sketchy launch site at Porthleven making it impossible to get out on the kite. Gutted as a couple of days it would of been cover material 4 times overhead, but hopefully with light winds this week and big tides it will push the sand back?
Got loads of amazing pics going to the mags thenaks to www.jnpevents.co.uk and www.splashography.com where you can view or buy some that arent going to print.
Spaces are now filling up for my Dakhla coacing holiday so if you want to come along to this desert kite paradise be quick, details on website
