I broke my kite surf board

Today I broke my Kite Surf board, a wonderful radical. I was at full speed, too close to another surfer that did not look behind him and suddenly changed direction.

What's fun is that he also had a radical board even though not so many people have one and his board is not broken. I guess I touched the ailerons, which are rock solid on these boards.

I could still kite surf today, with some tape on the hole. It did not change much to my speed as I had a 14 square meter kite, as usual, 2 to 4 meters more than the other kite boarders as I am much heavier. I jumped like hell, the 20kt wind was really sportive with a 14 meter, but took me to the sky.

About

Welcome to my blog. Based in San Francisco, I am an entrepreneur and a blogger. I just started my fifth startup, Seesmic, a community driven video social software. Here is what TechCrunch says about it.

I am blogging every day a video on loic.tv about (almost) everything I do as I start Seesmic, I also constantly post short thoughts to twitter and often my pictures on Flickr.

I also organize every year in Paris the conference LeWeb3 that gathers more than a thousand bloggers and entrepreneurs from 40 countries on Dec 11 and 12.

If you would like to learn more, here is a bio, my LinkedIn profile, my wikipedia pages in english and french. Sometimes they are subject to changes that do not always reflect what I consider the truth but that is the principle.
