The wind is back and so is the crew

i've set aside blog posting for a while due to all the things happening right now

i flew in to Boracay 2 days before halloween which is BIG here in the island i tell ya it's serious business to be prepared for your costume and all. it's fun and hectic at the same time

And yes the wind was packed in my luggage - specifically in my DIY boardbag

as it was blowing 30-40knots the day we arrived and continued on

until today due to a low pressure area up north sucking up all the wind again :/

of course i cannot resist the wind and with the Susi Mai Kite Camp a few weeks from now and everyone else arriving back here and there Plus the Renovation of

HANGIN KITE CENTER - CABRINHA

here's a sneaky peaky

The Balance of Opposites

I bought myself a RVCA Alexa Romper as a "hardworking" gift since it's Labor Day Weekend.

lol



though i really wanted the Erin Wasson Romper which NEVER became available to the country, this piece still makes me very very very happy.


RVCA is one of my favorite brands around, not just because of the quality and design that this San Diego Based indie brand presents but their vision as a brand and their role in the society as they want it to be.

for every RVCA item i purchase i never fail to read the tag where the brand's vision is written, reminding us of what RVCA or life is truly about

when i visited RVCA HQ last december 2008, i was enlightened and happy that there are still brands out there who remain true to their word. WERD!!



The Balance of Opposites
RVCA is the brainchild of company founder and Creative Director, PM Tenore. His intention from the very beginning has been to create a platform for RVCA to combine art, music, fashion and the modern lifestyle in an original way.

For RVCA, it is about today, tomorrow and life as the big picture. It is about inspiring our generation, providing something of substance and culture and above all doing it with integrity and as a united family, a close knit community.



Speaking of a close knit community here is the Action Video of the Progression Kiteboarding III - In Memory of Kaya Karaca which was held in Gokova, Turkey.


A well attended community event about pushing your riding to the limits plus plus Robin Snuggs' Kite Clinic

I miss all my friends from Turkey, am trying to save up for my trip guys, cross your fingers

Girl Encounter

So this is what the windless Susi Mai kite chick clinic looked liked.
It may look boring but we got to bond, just us girls from different kite school and i didn't even know some of them before. I actually thought there were not a lot of girls kiting in Boracay but i was dead wrong!
I met a lot of really cool girls from Estonia, Finland, Netherlands,etc!

Endless stories of embarrassing kite moments, most stupid things you forget to do (and the boys just look at you giggling and you don't understand why, until after 10 minutes) - like seriously perspiring to death to pump your 8m which usually takes a couple of minutes, puzzled and pissed on what is wrong, you realize your deflate valve is open. ahhh!
very inspiring words from Susi and the other girls too, on progression, learning, techniques, and many more



it maybe 14-16m wind (which most of the girls here don't have) but still, full house baby!!


The Susi Mai Kite Chick clinic is brought was Made possible by Hangin - Greenyard Kite Center, Nenette Graf and Cabrinha.
