I was having a late one last night at Brighton after work. A blue North kite arrived from a downwinder about 6.30. Little bloke- dark skinned blue eyed Rasta haircut. Thats Airton isnt it?

It was touching 30 knots sideshore, Waves about head high some a little over just peeling down the bank. . He started blowing the minds of those lucky enought to be there to see it . He was doing 30 foot board offs on his strapless surfboard with his board between his legs. I saw him pull a double back rotation and land it coming in. He did some nice solid lip smacks as well. Lots of good wipe outs too. He wasn't holding back.

That was pretty top class conditions for Scarbs of course.

We had a brief conversation after [his English wasn't great and my Portugese non existent]. He reckoned there was a lot of close outs . I was just glad he got it on a good day but naturally I lied and said "yeah mate, you should see it when its actually breaking and when it really starts blowing!"
