The last few weeks I have been traveling around the philippines with Aaron Hadlow and Sam Light. We went to Boracay to film some kiting and check it out before going to the Wind or No Wind (WONW) that is held at the CWC water sports complex in Camsur.

It was awesome to be back there again to ride in the event, see some of the best riders out there hitting cable, boat and all hanging together, it was a good vibe. The contest side of things went well for me, I came 3rd over all along side Sam Light (2nd) and Aaron Hadlow (1st) and also a 1st along side Brandon Sheid for the GoPro video challenge.

There will be some photos up on my facebook page in the next few days!http://www.facebook.com/tomcourtkite

Kite Camp in the Philippines!

Right, so my next stop is out in the Philippines for the WONW board Jam at the CWC Cable park. This is a bench mark event that brings the end of my competitive season and its a great place to have it! After the event, I will then be going to Boracay to host a ‘Kiteloop’ contest and training camp. It will be a fun event with kites to win and boards to give away for the participants….so if you fancy getting away this winter, head to the Philippines and I will see you in Boracay!

Filming

tomcourt46@hotmail.com (Tom Court) — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 12:25:40 GMT

So for the last few weeks I have been doing a lot of filming projects. Working towards producing a feature length movie at the end of the year or the begging of 2012.

Last week I was in berlin filming some product stuff for an up and coming company called GYBE. As there was no wind, I didn’t get to go further north in Germany to test some of the new 2013 kites. Hopefully I will be doing some more testing soon however…

Keep your eyes peeled for the release of the new Kitelauncher video and also the DVD update from here in Fuerteventura!

cheers T

Hood River

So, after spending a month down in the Dominican Republic with Aaron Hadlow and crew shooting some video after the Triple-S, we have hit the Ro-Sham Throw-Down slider project in Hood River. This place is a different world compared to the Caribbean, inland kiting on fresh water with stunning back drops.

The event has started for the last few days and there hasnt been much wind yet. Today is the main event though, so I will let you know how I get on! Check back soon, more videos and shots about to drop!

TripleS 5th

tomcourt46@hotmail.com (Tom Court) — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 17:42:39 GMT

So after spending a few weeks in fuerteventura (which where awesome) shooting with the North team for some of the 2012 products. I then spent one day back in the UK before heading out to the USA to compete in the world renowned TripleS contest in Cape Hatteras North Carolina! I flew through NYC for the night and partied with my cousin Emily Mortimer and some of her friends. Then on to the event.

After a week of riding hard on the obstacles and some serious wipeouts I came away with a 5th place alongside Aaron Hadlow and Sam Light from the UK…Pretty happy with that!

Im now in the Dominican Republic filming and shooting for the rest of the month…

Australia video and Tarifa

tomcourt46@hotmail.com (Tom Court) — Mon, 02 May 2011 10:14:45 GMT

So after cutting the ‘Down-Under Acheivers’ video with Sam Light and James Boulding I thought I would put together a short little cut of some of the best shots that didnt get used in the main video. Check it out on my Youtube Channel:http://www.youtube.com/user/tomcourt4?feature=mhum#p/a/u/0/DLjbmkQq-l0

I am now in Tarifa to test some of the new 2012 North Kites and Boards! Its pretty exiting to test a new ‘wake’ prototype board that I will be using over the next year. Keep you eyes peeled as when we finalize it I will post some shots ;) I think Aaron is coming down too in the next few days so there should be some good action going down!
