Back On It

Down time is over, riding is on.

Past week has been the usual mix of conditions. Started with a mellow SW session with Bryan Elkus shooting in the slick. Just took it easy so my knee could get warmed back up but that didn't keep me from stomping some good shizz.




Then the winds increased for a sick 30mph+ loop feast. But that didn't last long before it completely shut off. The next day we had perfect glassy water for a slider jam behind the jet ski.



Also threw in some skate sessions here and there.



My hommie Nate Appel just got into town from Hood so shooting for this years videos will begin soon. Keep slackin yo, peace.

Up and running... sort of

After spraining my knee a couple days ago I decided it was time to get my own website up and running while I was stuck on the couch. So here it is, the first blog post of ericrienstra.com.

I'm on the East Coast of the US now, coaching kiteboarding at Real Watersports on Hatteras Island, North Carolina. Hatteras is one of a few small sand bar islands that form the Outer Banks and separate Pamlico Sound from the Atlantic Ocean. It's a super sick place to ride because you have flat water riding conditions on the Sound side and waves on the Atlantic side. So far every day since I arrived I have either kited, surfed, wakeboarded, or skated. I have a feeling this is going to be an eventful summer.

Here are some vids to check out from the past couple years:
