Hadlow gets ready for 2015

Source: http://kitemovement.com/general/aaron-hadlow-and-the-2015-north-vegas/

The guys at North Kiteboarding, together with their amazing team rider, the 5X World Champ Aaron Hadlow are already prepared for the upcoming season. North released the 2014 gear line a few months ago, but it seems their development team knows no rest.

They are in a constant search of developing and creating the perfect gear. And they have been busy developing a new version of the Vegas for 2015. Aaron Hadlow and the guys at North were spotted at Langebaan, Cape Town, testing some prototypes of the 2015 North Vegas and North Dice.
The 2014 Vegas is a versatile, high depower C-kite, that offers out of this world freestyle and wakestyle performance. The 2015 Vegas also seems to be wakestyle and freestyle oriented C-kite, with a more elongated shape and a slightly rounder profile. The graphics are not yet set. We don’t know how the new kite will behave yet, but we have big expectations from North. You can check out a few pics of the 2015 Vegas prototype at the testing site below.


For the first time since 2001 The amazing 5xWorld champ Aaron Hadlow opens his eyes to some new possibilities. After having left Flexifoil kites (who had a line up named "The Hadlow brand") he sees that North kiteboarding can give him the power he is trying to find. Last month he was spotted in Langebaan (SA) testing North prototypes like the Dice, the Vegas and a 6 line kite that kiteboarders think it will be a Hadlow Pro Model. This is a very stunning notice in kiteboarding that could make North kiteboarding get used to freestyle and wakestyle podiums. For the north kiteboarding riders it means a new way of kiting, a new kite, a new style, a new Era.

OPINION:

I think that Hadlow has done well moving to north cause, flexi was a bit old now, and their security sistems were not reliable anymore. With moving to North and introducing the new kite concept 6-line mount he has given the amateur kitesurfers a chance to be able to get into the pro's world, by giving an easy to fly kite, with massive pop, and power release delay. I have tried it twice: the first time on lightwind and I got a very strange feeling because I went so high with a very "poor" pop. The second one was with a lot of wind and I found it easy. Pulled my first megaloops. Well, North guys have done a good job with this stuff. :)



Book review: "Muerte por funky"

Well, "Muerte por Funky" is a spanish book that explains the story of Joaquín Balboa AKA Eutanasio, who is a sicary that kills suicide victims who have not enough courage to kill themselves. He is also a fan of funky music and directs a group named Funktastic Four. This is his main motivation, doing a very big thing with his group.

This book explains as well the life's of the suicide victims. Maybe this book has risk factor for the author, because it tries to be funny and if you don't like it the first moment you will hate it and maybe stop reading it. My problem was this one when I read it, that I didn't like the humor so it went extremely long for me.I didn't like the arguments because for me was a "whole no-sense" compressed in 200 pages. But uh, what more could I say from a no-sense...

I haven't liked it at all cause I didn't like the humor basically. But I either liked the p`lot because I think that simplicity is very important in the books and you can just explain 2 lifes at the same time. If you explayn 5 different stories in every cahpter people gets lost and tired.

Albert Einstein and the relativity, a valuable theory.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/sci/albert-einstein/search=o?

SUMMARY:

Albert Einstein was a very important physicist of the last century. He wasn't really considered such as that smart man that we use to know. Einstein was a teacher in a university. All his studies went around time, its measure, its constancy even its reality. Although no one wanted to finnance Einstein's project he began trying new mathematical concepts, new ways of using our own theories. Perseverance paid off, and Einstein got to discover a relationship between energy, mass and light's velocity The famous "E=mc<exp>2". This theory says that bodies, at velocities close to the light's one begin to desintegrate, reduce its density, but even though they increase their mass. This can't be prooved with exactitude of course, so we can't get close to light's velocity but some resent experiments with hadrons sghow how this particles acquire mass while they get closer to light's velocity. But this is not the relativity theory, that is what everybody knows the name of. This last theory explains that time is not absolute. Time is not the same for everyone, that is a personal perception. It purposes that each of us sees different things and has different concepts. How could I explain it for you to understand it easily... Well, let's see: You see the coulours as you think they are right? Okay then, imagine another people who sees the coulours completely different than you do. Now imagine that this person recieves the same education than you. So he will think that the colours you see will be the same than he does because red (for him blue) will be red because he learned it like this, and you too. He doesn't know it because it's his reality, as you have yours or another person has his or hers. This is what relativity purposes: time is unstable, it responds to mathematic equations, and as faster you go, it passes slower. People who travels a lot has to readjust the watch constantly because it has a delay on it!


VOCABULARY:

Hadron: quantical particle with no mass that gets into a quark or a neutrine when interacts with a boson, it can be detected because it leaves mark on gamma radiations.


PERSONAL OPINION:

As it is a science article it's difficult to give a valuable opinion but I'll try. I can't really disagree, because if I doubt of this all my base in physics disappears. Maybe it's not prooved yet but in afew years think we can guess how to do a time freezing, this theory responds to it.
