Lewis Wilby Flymasters EventIt’s weird to think that almost a year ago I was sitting on the beach with a pen and piece of paper judging the final round of the KLB European Championships, knowing in the back of my mind that I might actually come back myself to compete.

Last year got me excited about a return to the competition scene to ride against a strong field of competitors and here I was one year later, preparing myself for the final round knowing a minimum of 4th place would wrap up the title.

Back to Bogota!

Kite LandboardingAfter a torturous three day expedition I thought I was having a bad time but on arrival at Medellin and meeting event organizers Ines Uribe and Jairo of Yaripa, I discover that most of the other flyers from around the world on the previous day had been trying to fly in Force 8 winds and had trashed most of their kites!

Most had decided it was to be a day of rest and repair and perhaps ‘hit the town’. Around here you do that on horseback!

Kitelandboarding in Colombia

When we did touch down it was 30°c and windy, the terrain was mountainous which was good and we soon found the people to be really friendly. The hotel was cracking, 27th floor with a superb view over the town of Bogota with its skyscrapers, banks and Presidential Palace.
