10yo Kiter - Guilherme Trujillo

Just got this email from a proud dad:

His son Guilherme Trujillo is 10 years old and ripping - lookout Andy Yates!

Guilherme hails from Brazil and wants to be among the 10 best in the world.

He is the Brazilian team and in 2008 competed in the championships and was third in the Open Championship - Paraíba-Brazil, which is the main category, competing against the adults

This year he will compete in the Brazilian championship, and soon will be competing in the PKRA and KPWT

9 years old - fronts and big jump

10 years - fronts, backs, railers unhokeed and s-bend:





Skimboard and kitewave Unstrapped

Hey Laurie,

We have a new kiter at Pinnas at age 12 would be one of our youngest yet. Whatever happened to the late Mick Eastmans kids? Do they still kite? The youngest was kiting at age 5. I wouldn't blame their mum if they weren't allowed to kite anymore. So sad!

Red thumbed already Lozza???? Sheesh, tough crowd!

Good winds,

What size kite is he flying?

I'm sorry that doesn't even come close to an S-Bend....

The right phrase would be "Does anyone know how over it this kid will be at 25".

From my experience at the local skate park so far i came to these conclusions.

* The kid that is super good at skating nearly straight away and with natural skill to do just about anything disapears after less than a few years.

* The kid that showed promise but had to work at it to get his tricks down still skates there most days and may even be sponsored or pro now.

* The kid who showed almost no skill and had zero style worked at it and now has a really good style and flows around the parks linking tricks together really well.

* Your mate that sat at the park watching while everyone skates..... still sitting at the park watching while he drinks. (you can't over look this guy though, he is the go between for food, drinks and there to settle arguments. And even though he can barley hold his own siht together he seems to hold everyone else together)

this kid isnt anything special we got a 12/13/14 one of em i think/ year old grommet down safety bay called matt g hes been kiting less than 6 months and rides with confidence doing powered raileys and s bends we got him kiteloopin now he doin way beeter than this kid
