Sinisa Only girl riding strapless, super stoked about 5:th place in worldcup!

I was the only girl in the competition riding without footstraps. Really happy to finish at 5:th place on the worldcup here in Morocco. Won first heat against Angela Peral and then lost against 2006 worldchampion Ainhoa Garcia. On two out of three judges it was a really close heat against Garcia, I lost with 5 points against 6 with one judge and 3.6 to 4.8 with the other one.

Bruce Mackenzie Fiji update

Bula Vinaka from Fiji!

Its been a while since I last updated life in Fiji, but since my son Yorke arrived here for a two week holiday, I thought I would share some of the amazing pics of where we went away to.

The place is called the Beach House and is on the Coral Coast, a two hour drive from my home in Lautoka, on the West Coast of Vitu Levu.

Sinisa Where in the world is Aaron Hadlow?

I came across this article and though it may answer some of the questions that have been floating around lately.

Where in the world is Aaron Hadlow?


When someone mentions the name Aaron Hadlow, people stop dead in their tracks to get a glimpse of this English kiteboarding superhero in action. From his super sick freestyle
moves, to his smooth wakeboading influenced style, Hadlow is simply th

Sinisa Sterkfontein Dam March 2010

Bruce Mackenzie Kiting Nananu-i-Ra, Fiji

After 4 months of not kiting after a horrible experience in Sydney, Australia and having no lines and bar, I eventually get it together. Having lived in Fiji now for almost 3 months, I plan a trip to the main kiting destination in Fiji on the Island of Nananu-i-Ra.

Bruce Mackenzie Time to Kite

Well its been almost 4 months since I last kited. 2 of which I have been living in Fiji and unable to get into the water. The case of a small accident and then not having a bar and lines has been really bad. Many a day have I been on the beach in Natandola and watched the perfect conditions with no one out.

That time is over. This weekend i am heading off to an Island called Nananu-i-Ra. A 2 hour drive from Lautoka whereI live up to the north of the main island Viti Levu, then

Bruce Mackenzie In Fiji they dont like Rugby, they love it.

So in SA, we are kind of rugby mad. We have some of the most amazing fields, clubs, equipment and sponsorship money making us the two times world champions. One thing we lack is the absolute passion for the game. Here’s why… One of the brands that we have called Body Guard, an antib… Continue

Bruce Mackenzie I feel like a local …

Bula So a bit of time has passed since I last wrote which means one of two things. Either I have been too busy at work or I have been having too much of a good time. Actually in Fiji you can do both. New years eve was really good. Started off at The Club and had a few too many Fiji Bitters. At $2.10 and in this heat, you cant help it. Obviously as you consume more, the less you really worry about the next day and the consequences of your, well your actions.… Continue
