no point is scored. Afterwards we went up a volcano and took some really cool photos. It was all red and dusty volcanic rock. A few days later we came back to the village to do a photo shoot of us kiting there. We had to wait for the tide to come in so Etienne and Lazare went kiting in the small waves outside the lagoon and behind the village. We walked around the village to the point so we could watch them. The beach was made of all this amazing volcanic white rock, it was really light. It almost looked like a beach of popcorn! We took loads of cool videos and photos of all of us kiting in the lagoon surrounded by the village with no one around apart from chickens! We all rode in a massive thick line back and forward, the water was super bumpy! But it looked really cool until we had a tangle! On the last day, Friday, we watched Etienne and Olivier (cameraman) riding in the waves. As they were massive waves, they were too big for us. The only way of getting into the water was launching their kites and walking across sharp rock and jumping off the rocks with their board! Then to come back in they had to ride upwind into a lagoon to get back. It was really interesting watching them on the waves as they were really good and catching barrels and it makes a change from the hard core freestyle! It was a really amazing week, hopefully I can go next year. I think f-one is the coolest brand because of what they do with kids like me! By Tom Seager
