training in tarifa

after the pkra tour stop in dakhla,I decided to go training somewere where I can get similar conditions  as in leucate(france),where the 3rd stop of the world tour will happen,so tarifa was the choosen destination to go,kiting in tarifa was a lot of fun,there I met some other riders who was also training for the next event in france,conditions were pretty good some days like sunny,great wind,flat lagoon,but there was also some other days which we had really bad weather like in france,cold,choppy water,gusty wind,anyway wasnt so easy to deal that conditions but in the end I had fun and for sure I considered that as a warm up for leucate.
I hope to keep it up on this upcoming event and hopefully to reach my goal!

depois da etapa do pkra em dakhla(marrocos),eu decidi ir para algum lugar para treinar que tivesse condições similares a leucate(frança),aonde a 3º etapa do circuito mundial PKRA ira acontecer,entao escolhi tarifa(sul da espanha),velejar em tarifa foi muito divertido,la encontrei outros atletas que tambem estavam treinando para este proximo evento na frança,as condiç ões estavam perfeitas em alguns dias,como dia ensolarado,vento perfeito,lagoa com agua flat,mas tambem alguns dias ruins e tempo bastante estranho como leucate,frio,agua bastante mexida,vento forte e rajado,nao foi tao fácil treinar naquelas condições,mas no final eu me diverti e com certeza eu considerei isso um como aquecimento para leucate.
espero poder mostrar uma boa performance neste proximo evento e alcançar meu objetivo!

cheers from europe

pkra dakha sigles result

yesterday we manage to finish the single elimination here in dakhla(marocco),I gave my best to be top 4 and it was just the way i wanted,got 4th place in the singles,couldn't be on a better position was feeling already tired on my last heat and riding those tough conditions wasn't that easy aswell,so today I will try very hard to climb this singles result!


ontem terminamos o evento principal aqui em dakhla(marrocos),e eu dei o melhor de mim para poder terminar entre os 4 primeiros,e foi justamente como eu estava esperando,fiquei em quarto colocado,não consegui obter um resultado melhor pois estava ja muito cansado na minha ultima bateria contra o campeão mundial 5 vezes aaron hadlow e também as condições não estavam ajudando muito,mar muito mexido e ventos fortes e rajados,espero que eu posso melhor esse resultado na repescagem galera,deixando assim a nossa bandeira verde e amarela o mais alto possível!

1° place at the brazilian chamion ship

so the last weekend i participated at the brazilian national competition,there i found really hard conditions,similar as fuerteventura,happened in barra grande beach northeast of brazil(piaui),i've been training a lot and was very focused for the event and for the up coming 

i stoped training in the lagoon few days before i went for the event,and started going more in the sea,because there is where the tricks become tricky,so i think that helped me a lot to get the 1° place at the first stop of the brazilian champion ship,the water was pretty choppy and the wind strong and gusty

so my last participation on an pkra event in fuerteventura and the training in the choppy water conditions in cumbuco payed off.

wanna thank you for the big support and for the ones that are following me and giving me inspirations to keep on going!

cheers

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC

watch out my new video from my last trip to cape town begin of the year!

across the atlantic quer dizer em portugues,cruzando oceanos,este curto video é sobre a minha última viagem à Cidade do Cabo( cape town), onde eu me diverti muito velejando,filmando,fazendo fotos conhecendo novas pessoas etc... neste video contem imagens velejando na praia de strand que fica a mais ou menos 50 minutos de carro da praia principal dos velejadores,poderao curitr tambem imagens realizadas no cable park(parque de cabos) de blue rock,e tambem imagens de life style na praia de big bay com alguns animadores aonde ganham o seu trocado animando a galera que ficam nos restaurantes a vista para o mar,nunca imaginei que um dia poderia ver a olho nu imagens tambem no video registradas em cape of good hope(cabo da boa esperança,foi um dos lugares mais paradisiacos que eu ja conheci!

cape town 2013

I decided cape town for the first trip of this year because is there the place where almost all the riders from different disciplines are training filming and testing new gear etc,so nothing better than being there for only 5 weeks but enought to meet such great people,train,some city seeing,party,well thats not all I did,I also participated at the south african nationals,I had a lot of fun competing there,like always, I did my best but compete in that such hard conditions was not what I expected,but for a guy like me who went all the way from brazil where we have great and almost perfect conditions to cape town where the wind always blows crazy(strong and gusty) a 2th place at the event motivated me even more to keep on going hard and big.

this was one of the most significant trip so far in my life,there I met Ryan,rich,mike and few other guys who work for best kiteboarding,and we 've been talking about my self ride for this phenomenal brand (BEST KITEBOARDING) and for me that wasnt so easy to decide because I never had some thing like so serious in my carrer,and once they came to me and said 'hey alex come ride with us' I could not believe that,so I'm very pround to announce you my new sponsor,I kind consider that as new life for me,so I will keep on doing what I've already done but with much more motivation and I'm sure you will see some great action this year from my self riding these amazing produtcs!

special thanks to:

VILLA VISTA TAIBA - made the trip happen.

UNDERWAVE - to support me with the best wetsuits.

KITE KAHUNAS - for the accomodation during the trip.

stay tuned and make sure you dont miss my next videos!
