Slider Party
Last week I was down in South France for the Slider Party.
There was only wind on the first and last day so in between I decided to enter the Wake n Beach contest at Kum Wake Park’s 2.0.
It went pretty well, I was happy with my first run, I got 3 great slides and a Moby Dick off the kicker, that put me through to the final 12. I was pretty surprised with the level, Kasen Suyderhoud, Daniel Grant, Nate Perry, Keith Lidberg, Marc Shuster, Antoine Allaux, Ck Koester, Marc Rossiter were a few of the big names involved, these guys were throwing down, the rail riding was fun to watch so I really enjoyed being apart of the event and learning some new skills.
On the last day we had the kite comp, we were all lit on 7m’s, typical for Leucate, we had first round 20 min heats where the winners all went through to a 6 man 30 minute final. I was stoked with my riding before hand but as the final approached the wind started to pick up even more. I found the rails hard deal with in the gusty, strong winds, I got a few good hits and was nailing some wake style tricks like normal although Billy Parker was throwing down the whole week and put it all together in the Final putting me in 2nd.
Here is the 2nd video from the event, this is a session at the 2.0 cable system.
