This Phillipino island is well known as one of the best spot for kiting in Asia. Nice beautiful beach, good wind, friendly people, awesome party and... there are countless other good things. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcx8vYIvAE_vmwXtK7Un70v39wYe0Ot8lGck28oiieY9DXQp8ojM-GfXT6E8t8TLTKedTZYMiBzTJGMxbBWLvRos0knEfr_bHq7xOZbb2PT0d0wpMXltVXKHxwDWuTBncetTwy3QpSPyY/s1600/scene2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" nfa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcx8vYIvAE_vmwXtK7Un70v39wYe0Ot8lGck28oiieY9DXQp8ojM-GfXT6E8t8TLTKedTZYMiBzTJGMxbBWLvRos0knEfr_bHq7xOZbb2PT0d0wpMXltVXKHxwDWuTBncetTwy3QpSPyY/s320/scene2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
However, these things were not the reason of my pleasure at this time. That is because the way from Japan was horribly hard. Not only I almost missed connecting flight in Manilla and ferry to Boracay, but also my huge baggages almost couldn't arrive there. So, I managed to get there with all of my stuffs just 9 hrs before the skippers meeting. <br />

In the 1st day's morning, I finally realized "I'm here". I met meny friends for the first time in a long time. But I did't have time to feel delight because heats were starting then.<br />
<br />
Freestyle has been started first. Wind was strong like 30kts and water was choppy. I was out on Park 7m2 and I won my first heat, but unfortunately I lost my second heat. So, I switched my mind into racing soon. But the 1st day has been full of freestyle singles. I felt frustrated a bit, then I went out on Charger 9m2 and Venturi race board. It was good session with my friend Sugi. So, I felt much better after that. I went to bed early and had good sleep to ready for doubles and races in the next day.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTk3X6DSvHgt9QZ4Dc2GZaSk4nzrdAO-DIvNqKknFXF9uGcmXwx-sdV55MdNr5-a0Ct77uS5s-K9_zifgaoAZX8E7_-di9HiSS5cWVK_8IpCOeihzz9XtcSf2ONCTKqzmfKvFrGCrClsg/s1600/fs1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nfa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTk3X6DSvHgt9QZ4Dc2GZaSk4nzrdAO-DIvNqKknFXF9uGcmXwx-sdV55MdNr5-a0Ct77uS5s-K9_zifgaoAZX8E7_-di9HiSS5cWVK_8IpCOeihzz9XtcSf2ONCTKqzmfKvFrGCrClsg/s320/fs1.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br />
Day 2 and 3 also started from freestyle. I won twice but I couldn't keep winning any more. It was really hard because I had to try race also. They had 3 races each in the days. I couldn't do well when it was windy, but I finished 2nd and 1st place when wind dropped. I'd never thought I could win the race even just once because I couldn't train enough for racing. I was happy and got confidence. But, at the same time I realized I have to train more especially in strong wind.<br />

In the last day, wind was not really good. But we had one race in the afternoon and I finished 2nd again. After that, wind was dropping then no one could kite. So, everything over and time to ready for the party!<br />

1st day started with good wave and off shore wind. We had fun by surfing, SUP and slacklining each other. In the afternoon, we took rescue clinic on the beach. It was nice to learn how to use AED, how to carry soneone off from the water and to do CPR. At last, we couldn't have any good wind and released for the 2nd day.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

2nd day, on my way to the beach in the morning, I saw white sea from my car. It looks so crazy because it was totally covered by whitecaps. Actually I don't like this kind of condition so much but anyway I have to try the heats. One of my friend was doing mega-loops when I arrived on the beach. It was amazing but made me feel blue at the same time. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Heats are started from freestyle men. Wind was 35-40kt with gust. So, all riders had to use their smallest kite and they almost can't do any unhooked tricks even if they are professionals. After about one hour, heats are changed into women's. Wind was still crazy strong. I went out with my Park 5m2 but it was super over power.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

This my first heat was finals because just 2 girls tried freestyle. But it was fun! I was against the local girl who is former champion and I've never won to her. I crashed many times during my heat but at least I could land few tricks. Anyhow, they JPKA set 3 heats for us and it was hard to walk back to upwind everytime. I thought I can fly without kite...!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the afternoon, wave class was started. I didn't try but fun to see that.</div>At the end of the day, I tried big air contest. Wind was still too windy and good for big air. But, suddenly dropping just before the heat. I was out with my Park 5m2 but it was not enough for big air. Anyway I had no time to change my kites. It was ok I've done kiteloop without board and made people exciting! For sure that was my best trick of the day! XD<br />

It was the 2nd freestyle round and the final race round of JPKA Japan Tour 2011. The weather was totally depending on the typhoon Roke then. Luckily it passed before the comp and left the wind for us. <br />
<br />
Day 1 was started from the freestyle. They have 3 classes Men, Women and Open. Wind was so gusty like 10-20+kts and water was choppy in the morning. It was a bit hard but I could do my best with Park 12 and Raskal. So, just I won the freestyle and it was changed into course racing in the afternoon. <br />
Wind was still gusty but enough for racing. However, we had problem then. There are lots of weeds under the water near the shore. It was so hard to get out with long fins! Even so, I managed to follow the men's champion with Charger 13 and Venturi and then finished 2nd place behind him. I was happy with the result. But, I couldn't do well again and finished 6th in the race #2. <br />

We had BBQ party in front of the kite shop. Everyone enjoyed it but I drank too much of Sake and fell asleep early.<br />

On the 2nd day, it was no wind at all in the morning. But, luckily we got wind again in the late afternoon. So, race #3 started in 10-12kts. I managed to keep my position then got 2nd again.<br />
Soon after that, freestyle doubles was started. I could keep winning and then finally all heats were over. <br />

It was 1st freestyle round and 2nd race round of 2011. We had 16 registered riders from all over Japan for the event. At this time, just one girl joined this event. It's me! So, I had to compete with all the guys not only racing but also freestyle.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The first day was no wind all day long as expected. At this time, normally we're due to be in the rainy season but it was sunny and really hot then. We were almost melting! So, we just had fun with SUP and rescue boat. After that, each riders was hanging out night on the town.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ro1cpXWYugM?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Day two started with 6-10 knots wind and looked like it's gonna be picking up. All riders pumped their biggest kite. After a while, first race has started. I went out with Crossbow 13m and Race 178. Wind was enough but I crashed few times because it was not so wide river. I had to tack many times and wind was gusty near the shore. I finished 3rd place at the first race.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Soon after that, freestyle was started. I gotta be ready for it soon. It was light wind 10-14 knots then. So, I decided to use Crossbow 13m. I knew Crossbow is not so good for freestyle but I've got more points than my opponent. I thought wind was too light for guys. Anyway luckily I could keep winning. Then I just realized I was on the finals already! Of course, it was against Hiro who is current Japanese Campion and one of the best rider in Asia. So, I was happy to take on him. But I knew it's impossible to win. I was just having fun during the heat.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRfM7xLpLQYmfQnUSIERZL_e3vwrum3r5HM4Xuc24DAgJPf0FvUmPkd7R_TnJ36aOvuecrtS9dFkBijtQl89NhLVBU-N9dRLOVP25xM4Fnte_eo_P2KcSj5eGV7QyiHfVWp6_4nB76FNc/s1600/o0480032111321662218.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRfM7xLpLQYmfQnUSIERZL_e3vwrum3r5HM4Xuc24DAgJPf0FvUmPkd7R_TnJ36aOvuecrtS9dFkBijtQl89NhLVBU-N9dRLOVP25xM4Fnte_eo_P2KcSj5eGV7QyiHfVWp6_4nB76FNc/s320/o0480032111321662218.jpg" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It's the 1st round of JPKA Japan Tour 2011 course race series. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgecNapiSMtza9l20pYDJoVnt-iZkRXyRkIjwgpfRNidoU8sxGWo7Ut0FIkAEVNOZR9l67Si0R7qn-LOn8iI4u9I7JlIBiu9yKZB2oJOYamlpfLeV4CQjMu95K2NnJRupweVCVtgsQwcKQ/s1600/o0800048011245550653.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgecNapiSMtza9l20pYDJoVnt-iZkRXyRkIjwgpfRNidoU8sxGWo7Ut0FIkAEVNOZR9l67Si0R7qn-LOn8iI4u9I7JlIBiu9yKZB2oJOYamlpfLeV4CQjMu95K2NnJRupweVCVtgsQwcKQ/s320/o0800048011245550653.jpg" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div> This event has race board class and twin tip class because still only few people has race board in Japan. However total number of participants are less than 10. I guess the reason is Japanese kiters don't know about course racing yet and kiting is NOT popular in Japan in the first place. <br />
<br />

In the morning, it was sunny and warm but no wind. Then wind was coming with dark clouds. So, everybody knew it was supposed to be heavy rain and that is exactly what happened. All we could do was just waiting for the rain to stop.<br />
After a while, rain was gone with wind! All we could do was still just waiting... After another hour, slight off shore breeze was coming and 2-3 guys went out and started cruising. It looked there was enough wind out there. Then race derector decided to start 1st race. <br />
Everybody got ready for start but wind was dropping down. Finally no one could ride when red flag was up. It was 5 pm already. Unfortunately no races have done on the day. I hope we have good wind next time!<br />

I went kiting to Toyokawa beach. Wind was good but I couldn't do well because I was exhausted from yesterday's sick session with my friend who is Japanese Liquid Force team rider. He taught me dangle pass and I just started practice. So, still I have muscle pain... Anyway, was good sess again today. My friend shot us with GoPro.<br />

It was not so good day for me just about kiting, but they made me happy :) Yea, I can do better next time!ayaoshimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09029216909807963540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626227779006893650.post-79077003649859589202011-04-18T02:39:00.001+09:002011-04-18T03:12:26.790+09:00drift... I checked the wind on internet in the afternoon. It looked not so good. But I decided to go kiting because I know if I don't go I just think about wind and I cannot concentrate any other things...<br />
<br />
When I arrived the beach, I saw many flying kites. <br />

Most of the time I do kiting here in summer. </span><br />
<br />
Although it looked not so windy... about 10knots. So, I pumped my Crossbow 13m and went out on race board. I know this river is not wide enough for racing. I just practiced tack and jibe. It's better than I can't stay up wind.<br />

But I was still riding then. Unfortunately I dropped my kite opposite side of the river. There's no beach when it's high tide. What the hell... tide was coming then. It means so fast current from upwind to downwind. I tried to re-launch but I couldn't. I drifted! So, I was resigned to lying on the kite and using it like a sail. At last I got to the beach so far from the place I was. I felt blue.... But luckily my kindly friend came by car and picked me up there. It was great! <br />
I guess I'm gonna never use race board here this river. Come to think of it, I lost my board when I drifted. Therefore my another friend picked it up by SUP. Well, I have to help his school next time!<br />

Check it out!<br />
-Japanese one is <a href="http://ameblo.jp/ayaoshima/">here</a><br />
<br />
<br />
ok, I gonna tell you about today.<br />
I went kiting to Kabaike beach, middle of Japan. It's the nearest (1 hour by car) beach from my home. I arrived the beach in the afternoon. Then, I pumped my 9m Nomad. But, wind picked up while I was changing to wetsuit. I tried to go out with 9m, but I felt super over power. Then, I decided to pump again to use 7m. After that I went out with 7m, but in 15 minutes I crushed my kite and I couldn't re-launch. I felt really bad! However, I didn't wanna stop kiting. So, I decided to pump my smallest kite 5.5m because I felt wind was still picking up. <br />
Finally I went out and started practice. But, soon after I felt super over power. I couldn't do any un-hooked tricks and just I've done normal air. It's not enough to be satisfied me. But it's ok bacause I'm not good at high air. I know I should do it. <br />
<br />
