WOMEN"S FIELD IS SET FOR FINAL RED BULL KING OF THE AIR SHOWDOWN
Oct. 11, 2005 – Maui, Hawaii – Women"s kiting action today was fierce as
the field of 17 trialists competed for six open spots in the Red Bull King
of the Air main event. Wind conditions were not as strong as yesterday,
but a steady 15 - 20 knot breeze at Kanaha Beach allowed for plenty
impressive kiteboarding. Stand out women today included a young crop of
athletes - 15-year-old Jalou Langeree of the Netherlands and 16-year-old
Morgan Skiperdene of North Carolina - who impressed the judges with kiting
performances beyond their years.
Tomorrow the event takes a break as athletes and crew recharge for main
event action beginning this Thursday at Ho"okipa Beach. A northwest swell
in the double overhead range is expected to coincide with the first day of
the event. With a hungry, emerging generation of kiteboarders, an
experienced crew of established riders and one of the best swells
forecasted in King of the Air history, the event is sure deliver a grand
finale.

| MAUI, HAWAII hits da spot! 12-10-2005, Maui, Hawaii |
 Dammn this is the shit!I arrived on Maui the 5th of october and was stoked because i had a couple of days before the Red Bull king of the air started. Janek Korychi a friend and Red Bull teammate, picked me up from the airport and let me stay at his place. He"s his own lil house and it"s sweet we"re having to much fun. Every morning we go outy to Ho"okipa to surf and then eat breakfast and then go kiting all day long till you can"t even stand on your legs anymore...It"s good! So we had the trials yesterday and i made it trough the trials so got to go to Ho"okip which will start on thursday. I"ll have a little party here tonight so laters...... highlights: -After we bought a surfboard, and drove 10 meters away from the surfstore Janeks car broke down and was in the middle of the road. Too funny, NOT! -The old guys are ripping waves and i just can"t, so do facking huge handlepasses, kung-fu"s, and other crap of it. -Red Bull rented us a new car after blinking with my bleu eyes she couldn"t say no... -There are turtles everywhere, it"s insane. -I"ll make a little movie again and will be on there around the 22nd of this month. |
