REAL BVI 2009 Week 1

// January 17th, 2009 // REAL Travel

REAL BVI 2009 week 1: 7 Days of wind, daily surf sessions, a brand new Moorings 474 Power Cat, AND quality time with THE most well known “professional beach bum”. All in the first week!!

Checking in from REAL BVI 2009. Week one was amazing, check out REAL BVI 2009 Session Report. The REAL BVI Crew were graciously provided with a brand new fully pimped MOORINGS 474 POWER CAT for our 2009 adventures. With CAPT. SAM BELL at the helm, we took off and scored 7 days of wind and a few days of great swell to back it up! All of the REAL BVI kiters spent the week sessioning themselves into the ground! It was great to see clients being able to get out on the water on all of the new 2009 LIQUID FORCE HAVOCS and a few lucky riders were even able to ride a close to production version of my new pro model twin tip the LIQUID FORCE INFLUENCE.

We were lucky enough to link up with my friend JIMMY BUFFETT again and share some great surf sessions with him and his crew. I last saw JB when he cruised through Hatteras this past fall. I was lucky enough to take a flight over the Outer Banks of NC with Jimmy, a few of his friends, and Lindsey Herring. You can check out more from Jimmy’s trip through the OBX in his MARGARITAVILLE DIARIES. Thanks goes out to JB, Mike Ramos, and friends for some great times in the islands again, and a special thanks goes out to the man himself for the impromptu acoustic performance on the beach! Thanks Jimmy! Mike, congrats on your upcoming wedding, I wish you and your bride all the best!!

Week two is coming up. Tomorrow we will be shoving off of the dock in Road Town, Tortola in search of more wind and waves. From the forecast it looks like we will see some playful size long period ENE swell hitting about mid-way through the week. Check back for a week two update and more photos soon. Also, surf over to REALWATERSPORTS.COM for periodic session updates.
