And yes, I am still with Linn in the grenadines islands ...

It has been almost 1 month and a half we have been staying here on the island of Union. We are now spending our last week down here before we go to Grenada for a few days and after that we go to coche, Venezuela in front of Margarita where the PKRA will be happening.
Unfortunately I won't be there for the contest because I need to get my new gear, but I hope to arrive there before the end of the comp to see some of my friends that will be competing.

The wind wasn'treally good the last days down here in the Caribbean, but we had some great sessions, taking pictures and filming more for my next video.

When  the wind went down, I went spear fishing with Lee and Thomas, two friends on the island.
The diving here is incredible, the clear blue water has thousands of fish to offer. We are fishing only the big ones like barracudas and spanish makrel.

To see what's under our boards is quite a different from what we are use to see when we are kiting, and scary in the same time.
I just realized that there were many sharks around the different spots we have been kiting.
While spear fishing with Lee, we crossed many different kinds of sharks with different sizes.
Lemon sharks, nurse sharks and the black tip reef shark.

Most of them are not really dangerous and didn't cause many deadly attack in the world. They are beautiful and strong animals that can take off your arm or leg in a second ... hahaha so it is always a bit scary to swim around them. they were coming really close to us and once, .....    Read the rest on www.jeremietronet.com"

Redbullsurfing - Surf Teahupoo - Tahiti monster wave!
04 Apr 2008

Video

Redbullsurfing comes here with a new kind of movie!

So, what do you get when you combine the biggest swell to hit Teahupoo in years with space-age video technology? Easy. You get the best view, or should we say views, of the famed Tahitian lefthander…and you get to control the view. It works like this: Thanks to Immersive Media’s 360-degree spherical video camera, a technology that uses a specially designed camera housing to capture eleven separate video streams, as well as their production and post-production platforms, all of the streams are arranged according to geodesic geometry to create a complete spherical image; in other words, a high-resolution, 360-degree view of Teahupoo’s innards. By putting viewers in the director’s seat and giving them the ability to look in all directions, the technology creates a first-of-its-kind video experience that gives viewers the feeling of actually being part of the action...More here
