The weather wasn’ t what we expected during the first week, it was cold, very cold. The wind was blowing from the north hence why it was so cold. We all thought it was going to be much warmer, however we scored very epic sessions. Vince showed us many spots and all of them had potential. It was just the beginning of the trip so we kept exploring the area and dialing our tricks on the new features we build. There was this one spot that stuck in my mind for a few days. These 10 to 15m cliffs along one of the inlets with rocky red walls were the perfect spot to set up a wall ride, but the only way that was going to work was with South West winds which unfortunately are very rare at this time a year.
Apparently Craig and Vince had been there previously but didn’ t get to ride them. We wanted to setup an incline rail up to the top part of one of the rock walls. The cliffs stick out and create little bays so it was just perfect to wall ride the top of the cliff and land on water downwind of it.
