Battle for the Lake 🇮🇪🍀

Not just a kite festival. Not just a music festival. A meeting of worlds, a gathering of people, a human experience.

A sporting encounter with passionate riders having fun. A musical journey filled with incredible shows that break away from the ordinary. A chance to discover a breathtaking country, its rolling hills, endless shades of green, and sheep wandering everywhere. 🐑💚

But above all, it’s about the people, the connections, the laughs, the shared moments, and the friendships that make this place so special.

Thank you François, thank you Ireland, and thank you to all the friends who made this experience unforgettable.

Already looking forward to seeing you all again next year. Same hills, same sheep, same good people. ❤️🇮🇪

Putting a caravan in the water…. But why???
A tradition or our love for father Ted style or simply why not??
Like in the most perfect love tragedy, our beloved caravan, after 3 resurrections since a storm that transformed here from trailer to piece of Art.,,decided to collapse at the end of the show… when everyone was gone. She did her job.

The wonderful @beckygilmour_ made her one more time very Mayo indeed and she as always looked truly amazing

Thanks to @insssailing / @marineservices.ie for their magic on the pontoon and thanks to all the special team ( they know who they are) to make it happen

So long sister and thank you!!!! #bftl26 #lifeispuremagic

2nd place at the 2026 @world_snowkitemasters @ffvlofficiel Championship category snowboard freestyle ❄️🏂💨🪁🥈

I managed to land cool hooked and unhooked tricks, even if I forgot to set my bar with suicidal leash mode for my unhooked tricks 😆

Tough conditions with super gusty winds from 10 to 25 knots 💨💨💨 I was competing with the @flysurferkiteboarding SOUL V3 size 12m with 20m lines 🪁

The freerace was also very cool with 15 racers, total distance 40km (7 races) with strong wind 💨💨💨 Managed to get the 3rd place overall, and 1st place snowboard, I was using the @flysurferkiteboarding PEAK V6 8m for the race comp.

Big up to the whole @world_snowkitemasters team, and to all the snowkiters involved ❄️⛷️🏂💨🪁🤟🏽

Hakuna matata 🤙🏽
