Collision With a 35-foot Sailboat
There was only one sailboat on the lake as far as I could see, and it looked like a tiny triangle on the horizon. How did we manage to collide half an hour later?
252 Kilometers, 9 Hours of Nonstop Riding
Any solo kitesurfing trip from Toronto to Port Weller and back would be considered a suicide. Well, I did it anyways.
Foil Tack Lament
The journey of “Ten Thousand Wipeouts” is only about to begin when you decide to learn a simple maneuver called Foil Tack Transition…
Stung By a Stingray While Kiting
Well… I live. After I survived the first 7 hours of sheer agony with the help of intravenous morphine and other anesthetics to manage the pain, things returned to normal quite quickly.
The Kite Man and The Sea
Some guys were kiting, others were sitting under the palm trees. “How far did you go today bro?” A few high-fives flew in the air, Bryn handed me a coconut, and I quickly slid into the proper pace of kitesurfing life on Aitutaki.
Mayan Legend
I kited 106 miles in 9 hours and I completed my plan to kite along the whole coast of Riviera Maya. With tongue in cheek, I can finally say that I have conquered the Mayans!

Kitesurfing Exuma and its surrounding cays is as rewarding as it gets. From sandbars and flat water riding to waves and island hopping. Turquoise paradise on Earth!

Long distance kitesurfing from Cayo Guillermo to Cayo Romano and back.
