190 days of leave, 4 continents, a lot kiting (and soar muscles) amazing places, a lot of new friends, some 7000 pictures, and rich on life; the party is over and I´m soon on my way back to Oslo, Norway. I´m really looking forward to get back home to see my friends and family. This last week I´ve been working for my friend Hege and helping here out with Cabarete Summer Fest. During the event I´ll take pictures and write festival reports. Hege also want´s to display some my pictures at the festivals photo exhibition. Pretty cool! If they get sold, the money goes to www.wishspring.org I took some pictures of Alex Soto, which will be competing during the festival. He is one of the local professional riders from Cabarete  Click on image to enlarge |

Dominican Republic is great, and I´ve had 4 days of wind so far here in Cabarete. I´m staying with a friend from Norway, Hege. She lives here together with here boyfriend Alex. It´s been really nice seeing Hege again, and good to get to know Alex, he is a cool guy. Hege is one of the main contributors at the local kite scene here in Cabarete, and has helped a lot of the local kiters to becoming pro´s She is also the founder of Cabarete Summer Festival, which is a big event that takes place the second week in July. Hege has hired me as a photographer and journalist, which I think is really cool! Dominican Republic is my last stop before i go back home in mid July.  There´s been no wind for the last 3 days though. So what do I do when there is no wind? One thing is making a flash reflector. On Monday I drove to the nearest big town here, which is Porto Plata and bought materials at the sewing shop, and when i got back to Cabarete I started cutting. Yesterday I had it sew together at the kite repair shop, and then I added the final piece on to it. The material is not the greatest, but it works, however the light is a bit hard. Today Alex and I got the beach volleyball net up, but playing at the beach in 30 degrees is a bit hot. We might play some more this afternoon.
