Ubud Bali -  March 2013 - White Water River SUPing

Hello friends, if you tough I did it all you were wrong!

When I see something new I have to DO it...

The ultimate crazy nest in the world of SUP is to take on rivers with white water rapids. Just the time to put my hand on an inflatable SUP and I was ready to go. Thanks to SOBEK rafting and their team of guides to provide me with assistance for this latest adventure. So much fun and I think you can see it from the pictures.

Sri Amman, Malaysia -  May 2012 - Benak River SUP Bore riding

Hello friends,

the Bore Fever is stronger then ever!!!! Just recently I came across the news of another River Tidal wave this time on the island of Borneo, exactly at the small city of Sri Amman.

Bali -  06 August 2009 - Balian exploration

Hello friends,

after so long I finally went to ride Balian in the occasion of the Ben Wilson Accelerator Wave Camps.

In the morning Balian scene looked quite magic! Waves over head to double over head were rolling in and breaking nicely.

I always thought that Balian was a busy spot but all the surfers were in the inside and we were taking off so far away.

A really incredible spot for SUP one of the best in Bali.

Great success at the Bali International Triathlon, with more then 350 participants from all over the world. The Winner was Mr. Luke McKenzie from Australia that finish in just over 2 hours giving with over 15 minutes to the 2nd qualified.

Our SUP team was there and did a great job! We had to intervene to bring to safety 3 swimmer and to help few more to get to the end.

There were a bit of a shore break and we spent time riding the small rolling waves and showing a bit of what SUPS is all about.

In all it was a super experience and we will be there next year.

Bali - 27May 2008

I got "da" scoop.... Starboard SUP rider and designer Scott McKercher spent  some time with us here in Bali for equipment testing and photo shooting.

Funny is that when I went to pick them up at the airport with the SUP mobile he found out that his picture is on the side of my car!!

Lucky for me I had the chance to test the new models but I can't really say anything or they will kill me..

I even had to Photoshop some of the images to hide the new boards look... Sorry! they are amazing but still top secret....

Thanks to Margareta Engstrom for the photos.
