Here are some photos from my trip to Indonesia this year taken by Quincy.
We had a sick season with lots of fun waves and many happy people on the camp.
We are starting the booking for 2013 now, so if you want more info, check out this website under ” kitecamp” or contact me on bertrand-fleury@hotmail.com
I am also working on a video with all the footage from this year, so come back soon to check it out..
Since Aya was born in Norway in Feb. we did not get to Maui before March and the end of the winter there. We just had time to catch some of the last winter swells before it got more or less flat and super windy. But even if I did not have the sessions of my life this year, I always enjoy hanging out in Maui because it is a good all around place with many fun things to do. I did get some fun strapless sessions in Lanes and Waiehu and many hours at the Jiu Jitsu center in Haiku. I am now just back to France for a few days before I am off to Indonesia. Can not wait to ride some sick waves again and surf some perfect waves…
Here are a few pics by Quincy Dein.
Epes, my friend and photographer from Maui came over this year as well, and we got some pretty cool shots that you will hopefully see in the magazines soon..
I am now soon off for another trip to Morocco, but it is hard to leave this place as always. I am already looking forward to next year…
Hossegor is one of the stops for the WCT tour, so here you can find some of the best waves in Europe. So when we were lucky to get some wind as well, we scored some really sick sessions kiting. It is waves all along the coast, so you can find many beach brakes with no one around. Perfect waves for riding strapless on my gambler board. Been hanging out with my friend Philippe Alengrin who is also riding the WH gear.” Check out this little video of him riding some good waves…
So finely we were allowed a good session at Hookipa, and for that to happen it had to be a Tsunami! The morning after the Tsunami hit Maui, the waves looked great and the wind super steady. No signs of anything except that all the beaches were closed down included Hookipa, so the windsurfers got stuck on the beach and the lifeguards had more important things to do. Since it is impossible to fully close the beach accesses to Lanes, we lunched from there and went up wind to Hookipa. I think it might have been my best session on Maui ever, just sad that we needed a Tsunami to get a sick sessions at Hookipa with out getting horned out after a half turn..

The 2 professionals kitesurfers, Tuva Jansen and Bertrand Fleury have been spending their last 8 years traveling the world kitesurfing, and searching for the best waves and wind out there. Now they want to share their knowledge with you.
This is not a camp for beginners, you need to be able to stay up wind, have good kite control, re- lunch and it is also a big advantage if you have spend a bit of time in the waves before.
But this camp will be a perfect place for you to improve your riding with help from Bertrand and Tuva. They will use video and photos in their coaching, something that makes it easier for you to see what you do wrong, or how you can do it better.
This is a private camp, where only 2 riders will get invited to stay for each week. Like this you will get good and personal coaching.
This is also a world class surf spot, so you can go for a couple hours surf in the morning with glassy waves, and then just after lunch time, the wind normally picks up, and transform the place to a perfect kite spot!
This island is a short flight ( ca 40min) from Bali, DPS airport and then a 2 hours drive from the airport to the magic spot.
The house you will be staying at, is right on the spot, and you will wake up to the sound of the waves, and the smell of the ocean. The house has also a nice view to all the other spots around. You will get served traditional indonesian food every day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) on the terrace.
