Northern Freestyle - Denmark ‘10 from Nick de Bruijn on Vimeo.

In preparation for the Seat Kitesurf Tour Europe on Sylt, the North team decided to do a road trip to Denmark for some last minute training. Joining them, video / photographer Nick de Bruijn to document their journey.

With the wind blowing from the North-West the team traveled all along the West coast visiting spots like: Rømø, Hvide Sande and several spots near Krik/Vestervig and Oddesund. Denmark turned out to be perfect for a week of training. A different spot every 5 minutes, waves, flat water, lagoons and enough place everywhere to set up your kites!

Enjoy the epic freestyle action from Mario Rodwald, Stefan Spiessberger and Tom Schüller!

“Mario Rodwald” : After the last party with all my friends from school (and some cool teachers) I finally dropped out of my well-ordered life and went for a trip to Denmark. Tom Schüller and Stefan Spiessberger came with me to rock the beautiful country up north.
In the last seven days we had more then enough wind to check some new flat water spots all around the coast. We also got some big waves and up to 40
knots in Hvide Sande. Nick de Bruijn came with us to record some moving pictures of our roadtrip.

So check my blog next week to see the movie and receive the latest news from the Seat Kitesurf Tour Europe on Sylt!

“Stefan Spiessberger” : Finally, after hard studying the last years, I passed my last exams in school! Yeah, I did it! :)

Right after it, I started an awesome roadtrip to Denmark, discovering some of the best flatwaterspots together with Mario Rodwald and Tom Schüller. Nick de Bruijn, a photographer from Holland, attended us the whole week. We’ve been shooting for a nice video quite a lot! Should be ready within the next days!

PKRA St Peter Ording

This week the biggest kiteboarding event worldwide takes places in St Peter Ording! Last year more than 120 000 visitors came to discover the sport, rock the party and enjoy the beach - this year even more people are showing up.
Saturday the trials of the freestyle event started and most of the German riders made it into the main event. On sunday nobody expected any wind but we were able to run the first round. Won against my team mate Luke Whiteside from the UK and in the next round it has been Seb Garat. The first half of this heat has been pretty good but in the end I missed my KGB blind and F Mobe blind…
Today ran the finals of the singles which Alex Pastor and Gisela Pulido from Spain could dominate. After my first heat in the doubles I´ve been happy with my show. Could do most of my switches and some clean kite- and downloop passes.
Tomorrow we hopefully will get some more action!

I am proud to announce my new partner LnB Motion! For more than five years I know Dr. Petra and Roland Liebscher-Bracht who I met in Tarifa for the first time.
In the past twenty years they developed a very special way of pain treatment, wrote books about nutrition science and started LnB Motion. All their knowledge about the human body will help me in the next years to learn some new tricks in kiteboarding. Last week we created my own program specialised for the sport.
After one week of exercise I already beacame more flexible and right now I really beginn to understand how our body works.
I´ll keep you updated about my progress!

Right now I will register for the PKRA in St Peter!
