DAY 42 & 43
On the next day we went again the SPO beach to check if there is any wind - we spent 2 hours playing football and decided to go further east  to our next stop and one of the most popular spots in mid coast of Germany - Pepelow. After driving in a pretty melow way, we arrived there in late afternoon. Carsten, a friend who ownes a kite shop and school right at the campsite booked us good spots for our RVs and showed us the way to the only ...

DAY 37 & 38
Scheveningen had no wind our whole stay, Scheveningen is hard to spell but fun to say. If you ask me how we got there I couldn't tell you the way... But luckily for us Chris Immers our energizer Netherlands representative lead the way. The dude tattooed his car the old fashion way and sewed Wainman Hawaii logo in the leather of his Mercedes - insane and definitely the best car we have seen during the whole 11.000 km drive through whole Europe. ...

DAY 35
We headed to Knooke town early and arrived at Riverwood surf club a ritzy beach club here on the North sea. The parking was hard to find but we managed to pull a front row spot in just enough time to buy a 3.5 euro shot of espresso and gobble down a sandwich provided kindly by our hosts before the funny looking oversized helmet wearing police arrived on motor cycles to kick us out and find new parking spots. In the end we just parked the campers right ...

DAY 33
I woke up to the gang jumping in the RV and high tailing it out of the hotel parking lot, across the grass on to the highway. Chris was at the helm driving like Mario not so ready. Franz was half dead asleep at the RV stove making coffee and somehow pulled it off as we swerved and rushed to get ahead of the early morning traffic. We succeeded for sure and after a few hours enjoying the beautiful English country views, we arrived at the ferry for ...

DAY 31
After 3 days in one place, which was quite unique not to drive everyday,  we have packed ourselves into the campers and headed towards Brighton, another famous resort in the South of England. The distance of 3 hours drive wasn't that far, especially that at half way we stopped to visit our shop in Bracklesham. There we met the local crew and our Rabbit friends already waiting for us. After some cool time with Bracklesham Board Riders with whom we ...

DAY 29
Today was another morning of raiding for the last of the breakfast before they were closing the kitchen. In the meantime Franz gave couple of smiles to his new groupies who somehow owned his inflatable replica. Then we headed back to HYDR8 shop to meet our real local fans whom gathered around Justin's kite-center to spend some time with us and to chat about life. Around the noon we went with the group of those local charming Rabbits  to the beach ...

DAY 27
We woke up early in our rented eco lodges made completely  of the recycled plastic. They are apparently super energy efficient as they only have 2 power outlets in a 5 bed hut ;) Anyways we rush cleaned the place of our mess and headed quickly out of town with the goal  to catch the ferry to cross the English Channel by 6ish. As both campers raced at 130 km/h and about 80 to 90 in the city streets approaching the harbor, the Rabbit RV's ...

DAY 25
Today we once again met with our French partners, super cool guys from SpinCo. Their whole team came here to meet us all the way from Montpellier. Herve, Pierre, Joseph and Indie brought fresh energy and woke us with their smiles. As it was a bit late already and a group of Lou's fans was already waiting at the nearby lake, we headed directly there. With the croissant in one hand and coffee in other we drove to the spot to find ourselves in the totally ...

DAY 23
Sunday morning we woke up quite early as it was way too hot to stay in the beds any longer.
There was absolutely no wind and so the plan was to go to the beach, spend some short time with our friends, say bye and hit the road.
On the spot, just like at the camping site the air wasn’t moving at all and so we went inside the airconditioned cafeteria to talk a bit about our new products with our Spanish partners. The conversation was very nice ...

DAY 21
That was a long night last night! Danny, our Tarifa rep and good old friend, drove us in his little prison car to a traditional Maroccan restaurant where we ate nice dinner. Danny is not the same person as Daniele, our dealer here, who is not the same guy as Danielle, our Portuguese friend who was our host in magic city of Faro. Anyways, after good little feast we headed to the sofas area and drunk a traditional Maroccish tea with sugar, or should we ...

DAY 19
(Viva España World Champions!)

Realizing we are not really early birds we had arranged a wakeup with the reception desk for a 6am. Instead of a room phone call the method was bit comical: a huge guy as big as a gorilla pounded on the door until we answered it. Lou opened his door and the guy yelled, "You Awake !" He quickly said: "yes,yes we are awake", because he looked like he would have came in and body slammed first guy on his way in order ...

DAY 17
At daybreak before even a bird was chirping Mike awoke us like a Marine Drill Seargent on the first day of boot camp.

It was his official first day back in charge of the Tour and he was amped to get going as we had quit early the previous night.

Lou took over driving duty, however the windows upstairs in the "bedroom" that Bertrand and Niccolo were in, had a window that was left open so about half a mile down the road they were freezing ...

DAY 15
Wow ! it was a windy day for sure, we woke up in the pimp surf hostel about a mile from the beach and the gang had a simple breakfast and after a quick photo-shoot for the winner of the gang-space contest (check it out at http://www.wainmanhawaii.com/gangspace) we headed in a rush to Guincho spot to find some decent surf breaking and some strong strong ...

DAY 13
We quickly woke up and headed to the local kite shop area in the Port of Leucate and had a small breakfast in the nearby café.

After witnessing old people trying to park their cars in tiny parking spots and a few accidents we headed to Calay the ocean spot close by only to find no wind in sight. Dave Britian our good friend and dedicated Rabbit rider in Leucate/La Franqui area, showed up to say hello and to give Lou a Revolution stunt kite as a ...

DAY 11
The wind was blasting hard in the morning as the Rabbit Gang and friends awoke to people yelling, "Franz is here!" The magician had arrived finally after his long travels to join the Rabbit Gang Tour. We were all so happy to see him.

A few moments later our good friend Raphael Salles showed up poking his head in the window and with his classic laugh he gave us a warm welcome to the spot. It was great to see him as he is a very original ...

DAY 9
Today's schedule was to drive all the way to Beauduc in France with a short stop in Monaco for a wild photo session. As we drove and swapped driving duty with sleeping breaks. From time to time we would wake up and notice how beautiful the Italian South is with endless tunnels through mountains and lush green hillsides.

Once in Monaco we were amazed at the amount of Ferrari's & Lamborginis driving by. At one of many toll booths we counted 6 ...

DAY 7
After yesterday's "classy" party, in quite usual Rabbit Gang style we all woke up late and rush packed the campers to leave Sottomarina and head for Riccione. Just a quick stop by Pino's shop "Radical Spot" to leave an autographed Blunt board for his wall as a thank you gift for well organized event.

On the highway the campers were flying full speed with air conditioning blasting but about 2 hours into the trip the smaller RV's engine decided to ...

DAY 3
After a great, but let's be honest - quite compressed in time big event in Austria, we left Podersdorf at 11pm but managed to drive only 2 hours... as everybody was falling asleep and we simply didn't have enough awake people to drive the Rabbit Mobiles. We stopped at the famous nature destroyer - BP gas station - and unfortunately that wasn't the best move, as at 7 am some family parked right next to our campers (despite 100 different spots and all ...
