Now, summer last year I can't remember going to Point Henry as much I have done already in the first months of 'summer' this year. Which is pretty crazy. It is so unseasonal at the moment, these northerly and westerly winds are hanging around for a little bit too long.
But any way.. No complaints if it means that I get to ride this perfect place for that little bit longer! As flat as Brazil.. Though it couldn't hurt to be that little bit warmer.. First time back at Point Henry since last summer down in Melbourne, such a perfect location for the Northerly winds that don't work in St Kilda (the local spot). A little bit of a treck, taking just over an hour to get there, but with the butter flat water at any state of the tide it is all worth it.

'Let Loose' - How it now feels to finally be FREE.
Just only a handful of memories about my 4 months spent on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, where picking strawberries became the norm and kiteboarding took a back seat. Those who had the pleasure of knowing me, knows how crazy that time was.. For all of us. Where we sacrificed our normal every day lives for our Australian second year working holiday visas. But it wasn't all bad.. Trust me, we made the most of the time we got given off. So I hope you enjoy this edit as much as I did creating the memories, where you get a insight into my shoes... Mad mornings that turned from 6.30am to 3.45am starts.. Just to exercise before work. Where we picked strawberries for 14 days consecutively. And then to an insanely fun week on Fraser Island. To finally being finished!! During my last week of picking Mother Nature decided to give us wind, good wind too. Spending that time on the water with great friends Mika, Valeria, Natalie and Sean, I made the most of sharing my passion with them. Enjoy! Big thanks to Ozone, Axis, Manera and Hive Swimwear for the continued support! Danni's back, with her visa approved, Australia you have me for another year! So the last 6 months have gone past in a blur! Long days on the strawberry fields to obtain my 2nd year working holiday visa in Australia, and with it being winter on the Sunshine Coast.. There wasn't a lot of wind around either! Making the most of it when it did arrive however!
Just incase you missed it.. here's an edit of one of the best sessions up at Cotton Tree.. Butter flat water.. 30-35 knots, with my 7m OZONE Enduro and the locals, it was going off! Here is 'High on happiness' |
