This shot was taken by my dear friend Jason Pini, the President of the Papua New Guinea Kitesurfing Association during my most recent trip to the ‘Land of the Unexpected, PNG’ – PNG: acronym for Papua New Guinea.
I spent 3 weeks in this absolutely unique and amazing country. With the help of Jason and his lovely family I experienced a ‘once-in-a-lifetime-adventure’ that will stay in my heart & mind forever!
3 weeks, 3 stops: one super remote island, the capital Port Moresby, and a small fishing village on the coast were my homes… I’ve just finished writing the story to the amazing shots that Jason Pini took during our trip and it will be published in kitesurfing magazines all around the globe fairly soon.
This particular shot of my FREE Wallpaper Calendar 2010 was taken at a spot not far from Port Moresby just in front of a little village built on stilts, check’em out in the background. There were so many kids that came running when they’ve spotted me on the beach pumping up this ‘big weird wing’… such great people, I simply l o v e PNG!
Thus, stay tuned, I’ll keep u posted on the magazine features.
Have fun & kite safely !
Yours Gabi
