The Wind or No Wind Jam is a one of a kind event designed to show the versatility of a location as well as the riders. The chosen location is great for kiteboarding and related boardsports such as Wakeboarding, Surfing, Wakeskating, SUP, Skateboarding etc… No matter if there was wind or no wind, the riders were able to get out and shred.
The event invited world class Professionals to be involved but happily welcomed anyone who wanted to come and share the riding locations and festivities for the week.
The Wind or No Wind Jam has helped to create a better understanding of kiteboarding as an alternate tool which complements other boardsports, such as wakeboarding and surfing, while showing the different personalities and backgrounds involved.
Aaron Hadlow managed to take home the 1st in kite, 2nd in cable and 1st overall at this inspirational new event. Check out Aaron’s blog for his views on the event…
Meie viimane facebook kampaania sai ka nüüd läbi ja saime välja loosida oma esimese auhinna. Abiks oli palju copy paste-i nimede excelisse kopeerimisel ja siis random.org nime välja loosimisel.
Võtame Liisaga ühendust ja proovime talle lohe enne jõule kätte toimetada.
The final of the PKRA World Tour kicked off in the Gold Coast, Australia last week. Despite being unlucky with the wind, they managed to finish the Freestyle Single Eliminations, with Flexifoil’s Bruna Kajiya taking the women’s first place….
After a long wait for the wind we had a real taste of Goal Coast’s sick conditions. The wind started off early and slowly built up during the day until it was perfect for a 9m session, just add the kickers and we were set! The sun came out strong and all the people that had been complaining about the rain regretted it as we all fried on the beach. It’s amazing how much the sun burns here, no wonder in every competitor pack there was a bottle of sunscreen! Without it it would’ve been a catastrophe.
My first heat was against my friend and team mate Johara Sykes-Davies. I love to start off like that because we always have fun in our heats. Then I met Jalou Langeree in the semi-finals, it’s good to have her back after her absence on tour. Her come back was quite impressive, she pulled out some powerful moves such as blind judges and s-bend passes. After Jalou I met Gisela Pulido for the finals. I started off with a blind judge 3 that came out pretty good and it just felt right, so the rest of the heat fell on track and I took the win.
Since the beginning of the event the wind hasn’t shown up very often, instead we had quite a lot of rain, but I’ve been having a great time here, even the rain didn’t bother me… I’ve been surfing everyday and even got some session in sick spots like Snapper Rocks and South Stradie :)

So after a hard year in many ways, Bruna finishes the year on top form and finishes with as Vice Women’s PKRA Freestyle Champion for 2010, CONGRATULATIONS BRUNA!!
Here’s her thoughts from the year…
This is it!! The end of the PKRA Tour has arrived, we all live through so much together, from moments of pure happiness to frustration and disappointment, the important thing is that we were a strong crew all the way, pursuing personal goals and at the same time working together to promote our sport and have a brighter future for it.
To celebrate such an important journey we had a gala dinner to present the winners of the event and the overall ranking, it was a beautiful ceremony, everyone was looking sharp on our gala outfits and most importantly we’re all smiling and having a good time.
For myself I’m very happy with how this competition year finished for me, I won the event here at Gold Coast and with that result finished in 2nd on the overall ranking. When I look back to how this year started for me I can’t believe I actually managed to have such a good outcome, I’ve been through all kinds of obstacles, you name it, it happened to me this year! In the process I’ve learned a lot and I wouldn’t have done it any other way, I’m happy to have been able to turn things around and pick it up towards the end of the year to finish in 2nd.
For my partners on this crazy world tour, thanks everyone, it’s been a pleasure to do all of that in your company and see you next year!!

Tee endale jõulukingitus ja osale Flexifoil Quark õppelohe loosimises!
Jaga seda pilti facebookis oma sõpradele ja anna sellest seal meile teada! Võitja loosime välja 20. Detsembril, nii et ka kõige kaugemasse Eesti nurka jõuab Jõuludeks kink kohale!
The action is over for another year in New Caledonia as the finals of the Freestyle double eliminations concludes at Point Magnin in Noumea. The wind kept coming and the crowds were gathered!!
Johara beat Nina Cavale to come against team mate Bruna Kajiya again. Johara finished in 4th and Bruna was up against Gisela 2nd/3rd place. She was riding so well and it was a very close heat but finished in 3rd place for the event.
Forest is staying for a few more days action in New Cal and Bruna and Johara are now in Surfer’s Paradise, Gold Coast in Australia ready for the final stop of the PKRA.
Check out the action from the last day of the event in New Cal…
Kuna meie tiimi sõitjad Priidu Null ja Annette Grossfeld on taaskord jõudnud teiselepoole maakera ja ka aktiivselt blogivad oma seiklustest, siis arvasime et ka meie kodulehe külalistele võiks olla huvitav sellest lugeda.
Avasid nad nimelt Getaway Freestyle Magazine nimelise kodulehe, kus nad muljetavad oma seiklustest, ning hoiavad kõiki kuris nende eluga seal. Getaway Freestyle Mag alla lisanduvad veel kindlati paljude teiste blogid ja üritame luua sinna aktiivse surfikommuuni. Praguseks on juba ühe ostituse lisanud Gerli, kes pesitseb hetkel koos Rannoga Tarifal, Hispaanias.
Neil on plaanis kindlasti kuvada kõiki kohalikke võistlusi seal ja me püüame teid nendega kursis hoida, aga kindlasti kõike me teine ei jõua tuua. Seepärast jälgige kindlati neid seal: Getaway Freestyle Magazine.
