I was on that trip last March and it was the best kitesurfing trip of my life. The wave at ouano has to be one of the best kiting waves close to Aussie and on the cat you have access to dozens of others. If you see the "Unknown Road" this is some of the best footage in the film-shot mostly from a helicopter. The angle of the wind was perfect. We mostly have cross onshore here on the sunny coast and to ride true side / side offshore winds on a 300 meter long reef wave is unreal. You can actually surf the wave properly and it's a hell of a lot easier when the wind direction is right and the wave is so mechanical. You ride essentially the same wave all day long and it gives you the opportunity to progress your riding. can't wait to go back...

I wanna go I wanna go!
Uncle Jon??

okay, Uncle Jon has some pics for you from the trip. see www.panoramio.com/
Some of the images are saved in Google earth so you can check
it out. The view of the reef is insane.

a guy i kite with wouldnt shut up for about a month after he came back from the first new cal trip. he loved it that much and his riding improved heaps. if only i had money

winning the comp would be sick, after seeing that left on google earth the other day i cant stop my mouth from frothing, even from a satelite image you can see the reeling waves

How will you win the trip when my starsign says "You will win a trip down the unknown road. Kitesurfing in New Cal, plus you will be really good looking and popular"

I am destined to win.

the New Caledonia section of the Unknown Road is definitely a standout. the heli footage is insane. See that yellow kite every once in awhile in the background...some guy bodydragging across the reef-that'd be me!

Last time everyone got filmed and got a trip DVD aswell.
Depends if they take a cameraman on the catamaran....
