Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton Race 2017
I competed in my first long distance kiteboarding race! The 19km race began on Rottnest Island and ended in Leighton, Perth, Western Australia. The race was fun but extremely challenging as the winds were light (10-15kts) and the largest kite I had with me was a 10 meter. It was a slow go for me […]
GBF: How I missed my flight with a 3 hour layover
THE GOOD I emerged from my meditation retreat feeling relaxed, calm, and focused. Before I began the retreat I had no idea where my skirt would take me next. I was considering a few very different options, unsure of which was best. After seven days of silence and meditation my head was much clearer and […]
Small town living
I wonder what it would have been like to grow up in a small town like Lancelin. There is not a whole lot to do in Lano, but the local kids always find creative ways to entertain themselves. While I have always loved living in a big city, I also very much enjoyed living in […]

Crayfish Fun Day!
I had been saying for a while I wanted to go out on a crayfish boat before I leave Lancelin. When I met Chris, GM of a crayfish exporting company, he said he could hook me up with one of the local fishermen who would be happy to take me and a few of my […]
Sand boarding fun!
The town of Lancelin is bordered to the east by endless snow white sand dunes. They are one of the few groups of sand dunes in the world that flow to the waters edge The 5000 year old sand dunes are constantly shifting with the winds, creating steep angles that are great for sand boarding […]
