After over 1 month in Waves North Carolina, I´m now setting course for the Caribbean and Antigua. My time in North Carolina has been very nice, great kiting and I´ve made a lot of new friends. My stay was topped of with the Triple S, a kite event with one of the worlds best kiters. Some pictures of the event.

My first week in Cape Hatteras was great, a lot of wind and good waves. However this last week the wind has been a bit on and of. The town I live in, Waves, is a small town and rather quiet. Cool roommates and my camera is keeping me busy though. The other day I went shooting at Jason´s house, where him and his mates were skateboarding .

After 2 weeks in San Francisco, I´m now in North Carolina – Cape Hatteras. The town that I staying at is called Waves. It a kiteboarding mecca with very good riding conditions, both flat water and waves and so far I have had wind the hole time. I´m sharing apartment with a very nice guy from Seattle, John.

4 guys on the road to Sweden for the weekend. Christian, Håkon (brother in crime), Øyvind and I had a superb forecast for both wind and waves for the entire weekend. After a couple of laps around town we ended up at a 200 year old mansion. Cosy, cheap, and breakfast included, right on the beach.

Saturday was light. Christian, Håkon, and Øyvind had a nice freestyle session, but for me I was just not enough wind. Sunday at was windy, I got to ride my new surfboard. One early session, and one session after breakfast which was a bit crowded but ok. I starting to get the hang of the kitesurf/wave thing
