Good stuff there Andy, brings back some good memories of Cape Town. I surfed there quite a bit and also in J-bay before kiting was invented. Would love to go back and kite there.

Nice to see the Sunshine Coast producing such good riders. That 1 second shot of a Carling Black label brings back a shiver down the spine....

I wish my parents would have bought me lessons and kit as a kid, the spoilt brat. Very, very jealous Good to see a local lad doing so good, well done mate.

Well done Andy! Your double pass actually looks ok.
Over time, maybe we will all discover that kiting (any form of it) emulates life, we can never know all of it and the progression is endless, and while we are here have fun!

Cya and

Goodwinds

A few envious posts here I feel. Anyone who has seen Andy ride, knows he is killing it. Good Luck to him!!

A well spoken young fella too that manages more than a grunt in conversation .That and his riding in such a short time are doing himself and his sponsors proud.
Well done Andy

Andy - Well done. You obviously have talent and I hope it gets you to where you want to go.

Nice to see such a well rounded young bloke spearheading the Aussie representation abroad.

Yep, hats off to Andy!

Personally, after seeing him ride at Kitestock, I think he rides way better in real life than what we saw on the video.

Go hard young man!

I have watched Andy progress since his first lesson in 2006. Within 2 weeks he was nailing s-bends and raileys in both directions.

What you see now is the result of excellent parental support and some bloody hard work and practice from Andy. He's always quick to help other kids progress and shows no arrogance. Once his physique matures and he gets stronger he will be more awesome.

I hope he goes well in PKRA and gives Hadlow a run for his money.
