Jolly Rubino - Revisited - Wednesday's Board Meetings

In light of the new group 'Wednesday Board Meeting' that has been set up on the network, I thought I would steal the opportunity to bring something to light and then hopefully get to try and revisit an old friend. For some 7 years now I have been trying to get back to her, so maybe now is our time.



If you have any adventure in you then join the group to stay in the loop. Here's to hoping that this time we pull it off again. Oh and by the way if you think a Wednesday is…

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.…

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.

Yorke arrived here on Sunday 13th June after a quick two night stop over in Sydney. Andrea and…

Sterkfontein Dam March 2010





As I was getting closer to the dam, I noticed the grass and tress swaying and its really funny how you have a chilled drive and as soon as you see some wind your foot seems to be made of lead and the Speedo just starts

climbing!!!!

Arriving at the dam on the Friday noticing the wind just enough to kite, I quickly

sorted out the accommodation and went straight down to the water and met up

with Jean…

Sterkfontein Dam February 2010





Durban this morning was extremely wet, the rain was bucketing it down at 05:00, why is it when it rains all the drivers go mad! Durban traffic at 5am was crazy, everyone just seemed to be on another planet.



The drive to Sterkies was nice and quick again, funny because usually when you have done the same trip a number of…

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…
