The first flight ever at the Dunes of Lencois Maranhenses
Joe ready to make history on the first flight at the Lencois Maranhenses National Park
Since I've been to Atins for the very first time I wanted to fly this dune. It was August 2008 and I climbed up there to see one of the most amazing sunsets of my life. I watched the birds soar the dune non stop until the last bit of sun light. I've felt sooo jealous that flying this site became an obsession for me. Now, 6 months later we finally made it. After days of rain and no wind, when my hopes were almost lost, I felt a smooth breeze... It was our very last day there and I said to my friend Joe: That's it! That's our chance! It was weak but I believed it was going to pick up and so was Joe (Thank God!), otherwise I would never been able to carry all the equipment all the way to that dune.
Not even the birds were there, but like a miracle, just when we finished rigging up we had just enogh wind, just enogh...
My turn. Off I go!
So we flew over and over... It was a blast! People started to showed up and we ended the day giving everybody a flight lesson.
Is all about sharing the Love!!!
A special thanks to Quentin from Zion Hill, for taking this pictures and Aron from Vela Atins Kite Camp for making them avaiable.
