My new gear, North kites

From this week on I'll change my way and my style of riding because I'll be riding on the 2014 brand new kite, the North Dice! I'll explain you a bit my new gear and why I have changed my gear's brand. Hope that if everything is alright I'll stay on this brand a few years.

During the year I've been riding I've been focused on tricks, airs and waves trying like this to improve my skills as an allround rider. This and the help of some friends has brought me to choose this brand that hopefully will make me progress a lot and make new and amazing tricks. From now on I'll ride on:

The Dice:
North's most versatile kite with a huge windrange and a lot of capabilities in freestyle and waves. It's construction for 2014 features the adaptive tip which is the north's system to help you to ride your kite in your perfect setting. The dice includes 2 settings:

-The hard setting: I use this setting to give more power to my tricks and having an optimum slack for having smooth and stable landings. It also has more lift and more bar pressure which is good for freeride in general.

-The soft setting: I have used this setting always I have wanted to go for a wave riding session because it Improves kite drift and travel while it's depowered. It makes the bar feel smoother and the kite be more reactive. It has not as much lift but it lets you have comfortable rides with gusty and strong winds.

The Gambler:
This is the hardest board in the whole range, for 2014 it features teh Quattro V channel what helps you to have a more explossive pop out of the water or for getting a bit more grip on high winds. For this year the base comes reinforced for going to the cable park or even for riding finless on kickers and rails. The gambler has been my choice because it's the bes board for an allround riding, it can be ridden on flat water or in choppy conditions just by changing the finsizes (3.5, 2.5 or finless).

Describing a pic: M82's Supernova

Probably most of the people who don't know anything about astronomics don't know why this pic is special and unforgettable for the ones who have seen it using the telescope. The picture I've chosen is the 2014J supernove in M82, the "cigar" galaxy.

As you've seen there is a lightpoint close to the galaxy's center. You'll problaly think that this pic is awful or that it has no sense to put it here. You'll also think that it tis a star, but I'll tell you that it isn't, it WAS. It's so amazing to see how the explosion enlights more than the whole M82. This explosion will probably become a superhuge blackhole in a few millions of years that will make the galaxy disappear. Well, stars and objects won't disappear, the things that are going to disappear are photons, the subatomic particles that create the light. This has been very important for astrophysics. We think that is the only huge supernova that will be seen this generation (25 years).

For me this photo is so striking because when I see this I think about how huge is the universe nd how small we are. The milky way is nothing compared to M82. The milky way has a yellow light spectrum, what means that most of the galaxy is made of medium or small size stars with lifes of 4000 milions of years of life remaining, and then we see M82 with its blue light, what mens that is made of superultramegahuge stars of sizes we would never imagine and light intensitys that would burn the most resistable elements of our earth. For me is so romantic to see the night's landscape so that's all  what this pic inspires me.

Berliner experience

We took off on tuesday 22nd March above more or less 1PM and we landed at 3:30PM. After that a kind bus driver brought us to the hostel that was the place where we lived during our long trip. When we got into the hostel we rested there for more or less half an hour before beggining walking to the closest bus stop. Once there we caught the 100E bus to go to the Brandenburgen Tor stop, that was were we saw the Brandenburg's door and most of us visited Dunkin' Doughnuts for the first time. Some of us saw the Reichstag as well, It was SO big!
After taking some pics we went to the books burn dedicated monument by foot. When we had already taken a few pics of it, we left and we went to Maredo's (was the f****ng restaurant were we had to eat because it was compulsory).

At night everything was very funny, we did lots of jokes to our friends and to the other rooms!
The organising of the days was almost the same one but with different monuments on each day.

We saw: The Sachsenhaussen Field, The TV tower, The Kaiser Wilhem church, The Berliner Zoo, The Wall and lots of things!!

Summarizing, I had a really great time that I'll never forget! So, hope you all can visit Berlin once in your life!
