Killer whales & Kites





Caught up with Kpod and a few L’s traveling across Haro Strait to the San Juan Island area where they tend to forage. L78 is showing some battle scars, looks like rough play or tough love :) On the way home, there were a ton of kiteboarders out taking advantage of the high winds… Some rode along side, and played and jumped in our vessel wake. Reminds me of orcas :D

Dream on Jenna

A video I created of my friend Jenna kiteboarding. It’s very inspiring to see more women out there picking up the board. I am still training but hope to be riding this year! This video was shot with my new HighDef video camera however was not uploaded as a highdef video but still boasts lovely quality. Enjoy

Orca Boarding

Using kiteboarding as a messaging platform.

I believe that now, more then ever, we need to embed our minds into what makes us happy. Because should we decide to submit to paranoia, confusion and fear, we will truly manifest a global nightmare. Keep your minds empty and clean, do what you must to remain free. Kiteboarding is a good exercise in strengthening your confidence and pushing you into an evolving realm where your body mind and soul are free. I am starting to recognize this as more than a sport but as an avenue to being happy and that’s sacred.

As David (of FreeStylePlaya) pointed out in the car driving back from Xpuha last night after hearing the headline news of the recent events (swine virus), “we have to keep kiting guys”… He’s totally right!

Orca Boarding is more than a message for saving orcas but is meant to inspire change. Orcas are wild and free and we can learn from them, how to be free ourselves. When we accomplish this, we can help manifest a better world. I’ve learned from years of experience that the dreams, photographs, art, film I have created have manifested as real events in my life. So now I am applying this technique intentionally with the hopes of manifesting a healthier world.
