Jimmy Lewis SUP

The Jimmy Lewis range of boards will be on hand for folks to check out and have a go on if the weather permits… for those of you who remember the last demo day I am hopeful that we wont get snow… but you can never tell.

The day is set to start around 11am on Littlehampton beach at the kitesurf school (the blue container opposite the swimming centre) if there are any changes to the times and venue I will post it here or of course you can call the shop on 01903 850831 for more information.

We hope you can make it along and lets pray for good weather this time…

More from the Airhead on demo and other fun stuff very soon.

Ride safe

Well as you may have read from the earlier posts Aaron Hadlow has been on his UK tour of shops and the Airhead crew had the chance to get the legend at our store….

Flexifoil team rider

Aaron rides for Flexifoil and with their backing has become 4 x world kitesurfing champion…. though this is the ultimate prize for any kitesurfer Aaron is down to earth and a top guy, happy to talk to everyone about the awesome sport of kitesurfing… Aaron along with Flexifoil has developed the Hadlow Pro kite… not for everyone this kite delivers the performance that a world class kitesurfer needs to stay at the top of his game.

The Camera on Aaron

While Aaron was at Airhead our young rider Dan Sweeney had the chance to ask him about his latest tricks and what pushes him… Dan rides the Hadlow Pro kite and is set to become a top kitesurfer and its his dream to follow in Aarons foot steps so this was a real treat for Dan to be able to sit down with the world No1 and have a one to one with him.

While Aaron and Jason Furness have been touring the UK they have been showing the new Kitesurf Movie “Revolve”…. this film sets the standard for surf films and shows Aaron at his best with camera work that captures his every move… this film is about living the life and push the limits… I cant wait for it to become available to everyone… it is by far the one to lookout for in the coming months.
