A "love" song!

Breezeblocks - AltJ

She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Cetirizine, your fever's gripped me again
Never kisses, all you ever send are fullstops
Do you know where the wilds things go
They go along to take your honey
Break down, now weep, build up, breakfast
Now let's eat, my love, my love love love

Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me, but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut

Do you know where the wild things go
They go along to take your honey
Break down, now sleep, build up, breakfast
Now let's eat, my love, my love love love
She bruises, coughs, she splutters
Pistol shots hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
She's morphine, queen of my vaccine, my love, my love love love

Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me, but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut

She may contain the urge to runaway
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Germoline disinfect the scene, my love, my love love love

But please don't go, I love you so
My lovely

Please don't go, Please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go, Please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please break my heart

Please don't go, Please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go, Please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please break my heart

Please don't go, I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go, I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so, I love you so




This song talks about to people who love each other but they hate each other at the same time. It's all about how discussions are an important part of love as well. This song inspires me and motivates me, I'm on love with its rythim and I think you'll enjoy it too!

Riding with Kiteexperience

Although I'm not 16 yet, I have began to colaborate with a sport club in my hometown. Its name is kiteexperience and by the moment I ride the kites they lend me and the ones I own. What I have began doing is helping them in whatever they ask me for. I use to get there at 10 o'clock in the weekends and open the store. More or less at 1 o'clock I leave to the beach and have a session of 2-4 hours maximum depending on the wind there is. Once I finish I come back to the store and clean all the wetsuits, harnesses and casks of the people who has began at that day with the instructors Edu and Jordi. When I finish, I help Alba, my workmate, to do whatever. I use to help her with the kites and boards selling and she helps the customers with the clothes, wetsuits, and a lot of things I would never be able to do. At 6 o'clock in the afternoon the store has to be closed. I help her to bring everything to the mall, where we keep everything. My work mates are:

-Edu: Is the one I know better because I have had lots of experiences with him this winter. I have saved him a pair of times ans he has saved me too! I hope we keep working together until I go to the university. He works as an instructor.

-Jordi: He is an instructor as well. He is a very awesome kiter and an even better surfer! I have never met nobody with his experiences on waves, if I have questions about anything I  ask him and he always knows what is better for me and the things I have to do to improve my riding.

-Alba: As I've said before she is the girl who attends the store, and she always helps me in whatever I need, even if I have to repare or if I have to do anything else!

-Xevi: He is not always in kiteexperience but when he comes we all like to see him riding or teaching. He is the most experienced rider I know, he is named "Legend" by some kitesurfers. He loves riding with over 50kts of wind (more than 100 km/h) and he flies more than anyone I know!! It's awesome to be able to learn with him, he knows everything about kiteboarding!!

-Sergi and Mar: They are the owners of kiteexperience and they are very kind people. They have been riding for ages, and ther level increases everytime they sail. They have also travelled a lot and they know plenty of places where to surf, kite or SUP!! It's very nice to have bosses like them because you always feel comfortable.

Summarizing: I couldn't be happier with my workmates and the nice feeling I have there is amazing!

I let you a link for seeing how Xevi flies!

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!

Marthaussën Speech

Two people with a dark past came on tuesday for making us understand what were the nazi ideas like. They told us that jew people were not the only ones who suffered in the Hitler times. Spain was a very hostile place on 1939. The war had just ended and the republican politicians were bannished from Spain. General and "caudillo" by that time Francisco Franco told Hitler that there were no Spanish people out from Spain. So, Hitler caught as many republicans as he could and made them be treated like jews. Their fathers left Spain on 1939 and went to France. Unluckily France had just been invaded by Hitler's troops and unluckily as well they were caught and brought to the Marthaussën. One of those man was very weak for the hunger and the cold so he went directly to the gas chamber. The other one was brutally murdered a year after by a gasoil injection directly to the heart. They told us what they knew about the life in Marthausën. Nazi's were (with no pardon) a group of sons of b**ches. They threatened them constantly and they governed them with the horror and the pain. They chose random people diarily to kill them by different ways. All of that killing ways were brutal and they involved a lot of pain. The field was built for having 3000 people inside it, and it was occuped for 15000 people. Nazis didn't left the write to their families until 1943, 2 years before the end of all that shit. One of the two people who came had the first letter that his father wrote them before going to the field, when he was still in prison. He tried to read it but he couldn't, there were so many feelings on that fragile piece of paper, too much stories, too much interrogants,.... He could just read the last sentence that was the only thing he has always been thinking about for the last 60 years, the last sentence was "I'm afraid they're going to bring us to somewhere, but I can't explain it to you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to send this letter". His mother thought the worst, and unfortunately she probably guessed. I asked them what did they feel the first time they went to Marthaussën field, and they answered that the first thing that came to their heads was "my father stepped this stairs, he was burned in here and murdered in there...". Their eyes were wet while they pronnounced those words, they were very corageous to share that with us. After that dy, they visited the field every year, and they made a monument for the thousands of Spanish people that had been murdered in there. They have never had any suport from the government, and they have never complained about nothing. The only politicians that did something for them were Jordi Pujol, who went there twice with her wife, and Jose Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who went there once as well. There are two flgs in the monument: the republican one and the normal one. They say that if people who dead there were republicans their souls ight lie under their flags.
