The Top Ten Places to Kiteboard on Earth
Every two weeks or so I have to sit down for many hours and craft a story of our most recent adventure. Sometimes they write themselves, other times they are a real grind. Jody (our photographer and my partner) has to spend hours getting all the photos ready. After over a decade of traveling the world by sail seeking out wind and waves we realized we’ve got a lot of information stored away that might be of interest to fellow adventure-seekers. But we don’t really have a place to easily share what we’ve learned. Well, we’re hoping this new blog is the answer. We’re going to try to make the blog informative, interesting, visually stunning, and our ultimate goal- to inspire and motivate people to get out there. Be it on water, in the air, or somewhere in between- it’s a great big wonderful world out there. So here we go, the top 10 places to kite that we’ve found on our world tour. Thus far 40,000 + miles, 40 countries, 131 locations, over 90 of them virgin. Continue reading →

From there we’ll sail a few hundred miles to Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela to take some much needed time off as well as complete a few major projects on Discovery, including a topside freezer, large solar array for some greener charging, which will double as a surfboard rack, possibly a new tender and outboard…it’s a long list.

Back to the Adventure
Saba I learned to dive 16 years ago at Saba, a tiny dormant volcano which lies just 30 miles ESE of St Maarten. Those 30 miles are an ocean of difference. While St Maarten is noisy, dirty, tourist cluttered and … Continue reading →
Bringing it home
We’ll never tell I’m a little speechless this last night of the trip. 10 days of kiting, 10 days of wind, 10 days of some of the finest locations I’ve ever ridden or seen. Add to that the riding caliber … Continue reading →
Heaven on Earth, Part II
Breakfast on arrival We left Jumby Bay, Antigua at 0430 Wednesday morning after a failed attempt to do some filming under sail with Discovery. Shannon Best was finally onboard after squaring his nightmare visa problems and almost getting arrested on … Continue reading →
