NABX friends.....nice to know you


NABX was insane. I had the time of my life. I was able to get to know manyof you. A lot of you guys i was able to put a face with your pkf name, i tried to meet as many of you as i possibly could.

I just wanted to give a special thanks to those of you who helped me out. Nocando! thanks for all the laughs and the ride from the airport. (this aussie will make you pee your pants from all the laughter)
Angus, it was funny how we randomly met at McDonalds lol, thanks for hooking me up with replacement parts this winter

All of you crazy A$$ canadians! Mark, Ziggy, Ken3, and bladerunner you guys were so much fun, and very encouraging.

Beamerbob, thanks for all of the kind words, you are a lucky dog for moving out that direction. Tell your son that I hope his shoulder is feeling better
Silvereaglekiter, it was nice to sit in the morning and drink coffee, see you at wildwood!
Brian holgate---- What and awesome buggier, thanks for all the tips and letting me use your PL core

The dutchies.... Ozzy, Arie, Michelle, Stephan, and Henry......you guys are on the leading edge of everything, thanks for all of the jokes. Ozzy you are my hero! I tried to get him to let me drink a beer out of his fake leg, but who knew there was a computer chip in the thing.

Dino----you are wicked awesome....where are my tacos!?

Craig sparks and all of the flexifoil guys, thanks for putting on a good event and starting the first ever freestyle comp. It was a blast. you are making a huge difference in the US kite world.

SPECIAL THANKS TO:
thanks Ricardo for getting me started in all of this...its completely changed my life for the better, i wake up proud of myself everyday because of the opportunities that you've given me

Marijn- dude i don't even know what to say, you and ricardo have given me the greatest opportunity in the world, you are the coolest boss in the world, expect snapple and beer in the mail from me in the future!

John and Jeroen for teachind me lots of new tricks and all of the ins and outs of the kite indusrty.

I met more of you in passing, but i was running on adrenaline so im' sorry if i forgot you in this post. Geokite was there too lol.

the PKF family is amazing, i hope i represented you all well, and i hope i represented Peter Lynn and Trampa well

YOU ARE ALL FU@#$NG AWESOME!

Good to see you out there with that infectious enthusiasm. Looking forward to seeing you again. I really have to meet the woman that would let that be her honeymoon!

Bring the blue kite; maybe they won't notice.

Hey, if your on the playa, you ARE a local! :) Glad to meet you and my only complaint was not being able to spend even more time riding with you. I am really happy that you had such a great time.
