South Padre Island, Texas

AirPadre — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 19:43:01 +0000

I wanted to share a post about our recent kiteboarding sessions here on South Padre Island, Texas. The spring kite boarding season has been really providing some great winds and weather, enabling us to get out and do what we enjoy most. For those of you who have never visited, South Padre is a fantastic kite spot located in southern Texas on the Gulf of Mexico. Among the top destinations in the United States include South Padre Island, Hawaii, The Gorge, and Hatteras. The difference here is the easy learning conditions combined with warm weather.

In the future, I will post more pictures and videos about South Padre Island to get others interested and educated. Please take a look at the attached kiteboarding photos (courtesy of Air Padre Kiteboarding) of the crew riding on the flat-shallow water of the Laguna Madre and the wave-side downwinders on the Gulf of Mexico.

King Of Water Sports

I used to buy my kite gear in the local water sport shops in my city, I live in Sweden btw. It´s handy to have a local store where you live, but seldom the cheapest option… I run a kite school so I buy lots of gear and it quickly sums up to big amounts. Last year I was looking for some ladies wetsuits and couldn’t find anything good in my local store, only ugly models in odd sizes to a high price. What did I do? Well, I did a little research on the internet where I found kingofwatersports.com, a site that really deserves its name! I ordered three super cheap wetsuits that were going to be shipped more or less the same day. However it turned out that they didn’t have one of the wetsuits in stock… so I was kindly asked if I was willing to take a latest years model instead (a more expensive and nicer model). I didn’t say no to this offer and a few days later I had all my wetsuits delivered to my address, that´s what I call service! I order kite gear from other webshops, but none can compare to King of Water Sports when it comes to shipping time, price and range of products! So next time you´re going to buy some kitesurfing stuff, then give kingofwatersports a chance, you won’t be disappointed, I promise!

A cool swedish guy called Andreas Björkroth is currently in the Western Australia to chill and progress in his kitesurfing. He has a nice blog kiteblog.se full of great photos and cool videos. Here are some of his pictures.

Waiting for the wind at Boracay

kitesurfing — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 01:49:30 +0000

Windfinder shows a dismal prognosis for the coming 2-3 days here in Boracay. It´s ok though since I managed to catch a second cold during my stay here. So the coming days are ordained for jobs and recovering. The reason till why I got sick is probably the AC in my room. It was a bit cold one night and I was to tired to get up turning the thing off. Like when you try to sleep but have to pee, but are to tired to go to the toilet… you end up sleeping like shit the whole night instead.
I turned down the AC during day 2, but the cleaner that fixed my room put it on max… night 3 was also chilly, now I´m sick as fuck :(

Some photos in super high quality from Boracay.

Gusty Kiteschool

What is Gusty Kiteschool? A school where you learn how to handle gusty wind? No, it´s a small kite school located in the southern part of Sweden. Gusty helds kitesurfing courses at one of the absolutely best spots in Sweden, it´s called Habo Ljung. The kite spot in Habo Ljung is knows for its shallow water, soft sand bottom and with plenty of space for launching and rigging, simply perfect for beginners as well as pro riders.

A 200 meter long pier divide the spot in two halfs which is great from many aspects. First, the pier works as a wave breaker, so the water is usually very flat when the wind direction is from south west. Second, the kite schools normally stick to one of the side of the pier, so one side is usually free from annoying beginners that block your way. Third, the pier is excellent for photographers and people that just wanna have a perfect view over the kiters!

The spot is without doubt one of the best in Sweden, what about the kite school then? Gusty is a small school driven by just one passionated instructor. One good thing with Gusty is that you never are more than 2 persons in a kite lesson. The other kite schools in Habo Ljung often take 4 persons per instructor, in worst cases up to 6 persons or even more! Another good thing is that the instructor at Gusty is a very cool and friendly guy. He often serve his students moisty chocolate cookie that is simply amazing!

Anyway, my intention with this post is not only to advertise Gusty, but recommend you to visit Habo Ljung in Skåne is you have your ways to Sweden!
