Last day in Cumbuco. We leave kite-paradise at 1700…. Everything comes to an end…

Here is a little video to remind ourselves how nice this trip have been. For the second year in a row, we tricked Sigve into getting on stage during a Montilla Rum show at Ceara Music Festival. Great fun….

Due to a pretty high pressure from Friends and Family regarding MORE bikini girls pictures from Brazil, I now have the pleasure to present a 6 minute long video from the Best Kiteboarding Bikini Girls Party in Cumbuco.

The video was shot very very late in the evening, and the movie maker seems to be influenced by the words of Robert Capa:

“If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.”

(Ståle and Stian: This one is for you)

Car just broke down…. In Taiba…. Far from home…. Suddenly black smoke came from the engine…. Luckily Sigve, who turned out to be quite a mechanic, pointed out to us that it was some unimportant part that had broke, so no we continue the ride home…. The steering has on Servo any more, but what the hell… Happy go lucky…. :)

Bjørn is watching some braindead tv series from the United States of Fat People.

Today we once again did the downwinder from Cumbuco to Paracuru…. 4 hours straight. Some of the best waves I have ever kited in…. It is impossible to describe the feeling, surfing toeside down a big wave, looking back over your shoulder seeing the tracks from your boards cutting through the big wave rising behind you, hoping there is enough water left before the beach, and that you have positioned your kite so that it will be able to pull you away from the beachbreak…. Heavenlike.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more exciting, a shitload of seals and big curious turtles suddenly appeared…. The seals being BIGGER than me…. I very seldom think I am going to suffer from stroke caused by fear when kiting, but when the first Seal appeared 5 meters from my board today, I was pretty certain I would. 2 meter long Seals, coming to the surface to breath, makes a hell of a noise… Intimidating, but luckily, not very dangerous…..

As the lagoonas get more and more crowded, we are riding more and more waves…. Enjoying every second of it.
Waves are the new flatwater :)

Just finished another Dan Brown pulp fiction: “Angels and Demos”…. This seems to be a tradition in Brazil, taking under consideration that I read “The DaVinci Code” last year.

We are eating at a restaurant in Cumbuco. The couple at the table next to us decided to REALLY make out….

One of the odd things about developing countries: Flavored toilet paper. Bjørn, who was responsible for shopping today, chose Apple. Good choice that was.

In Brazil you need cash…. Cash is not easily obtained…. We have a favourite ATM at a Texaco gas station in Fortaleza…. Armed guard. Atm always working. Open 24/7. Flawless….

This years dead man we just saw lying in a pit of blood in the road between Fortaleza and Cumbuco. The guy had obviously run from the police, and Forca Tactica had shot and killed him… Bjørn, who drove the car suddenly said: “Damn… a dead guy… No flash now Marius”, watching me raise my camera! :) Business as usual in Fortaleza…

(The video is VERY crapy… but if you look carefully, you can se the corpse lying in the lower left corner…)

We have stopped in the middle of a junction, in the middle of the favela between Cumbuco and Fortaleza. Here there is a barbecue stand selling sticks with meat for the hilarious price of 1 Real. (3 Nok) Since this is not the best of neighbourhoods, we’re always happy when the owner of the grill welcomes us with the usual handshake and thumbs up. When in Rome……

This is Ruben Lenten.

Today one of the best kiters in the world showed up in the laguna. I usually find new school kiting pretty boring to watch…. This session was not. Sky high and very powerfull handlepasses and kiteloops, combined with the coolest kitestyle ever, made our Pro’s look like sacred ladies on the water…. Ruben kicked some serious ass….
