It’s crazy for me to think about all the extraordinary places kiteboarding<br />

has taken me over the years. Palawan Island in the<br />

Philippines was no disappointment. Not only a tropical paradise<br />

but a new kiteboarding destination fully equipped with the first<br />

kite park in South East Asia! My favourite feature of the park is<br />

the North Fun Box! No bias, it’s an amazing feature with so many<br />

different options for lines, step ups and transfers! In this shot<br />

we were practicing for the event and there was a lot of people on<br />

the water. Noe Font and I were both coming towards the feature<br />

from a long way out trying to sneak in front of each other. When<br />

we got close neither of us budged so we just hit it together. I<br />

called the top deck and so Noe had to opt for lower but since we<br />

were so close our kites were bumping and it almost turned bad…<br />

I figured I was upwind so should've had the right of way!
