Windy Season on Holbox

Mid Season Roundup

We’ve had a really windy season here on Holbox so far. The kite school has been busy too. So time has been short for an update. We’ve seen lots of beginners taking their first steps in kiteboarding. Intermediates learning to jump or ride surfboards and advanced riders embracing #foilfever. Gabo, Jirka and Javier have all been seen sporting the ear to ear grin that foilboarding gives.

Mitch has been pushing his riding on the unhooked side of things and making some nice progress. Cathy’s duck tacks are looking great on the surfboard. Pete has been seen flying high with the pelicans and Anna can usually be seen spinning like a top. I’m completely hooked on foilboarding.

We’ve opened a new shack in front of casa las tortugas and our new school equipment store is nearly finished, such a luxury to have that space.

Here’s the latest video too 🙂

New kites have been arriving and we now have some new 2016 Slingshot Wave and Rally kites in the School. Very impressed with both.

New boards too for Cathy and I from Axis kiteboarding. The limited has been updated with a fat rail and my first impressions have been very good.

Also landed recently thanks to Todd from Canada is the WOO which is going to open up a new level to our kiting here. Maybe even show a competitive side to some of us.

First try in some mediocre winds saw me flying to 8.3m can’t wait to get out again and push it to new heights.
