The last days on Sylt were awesome! We had nice east wind and could rock every day! Then I stayed half a day at home and went to Fehmarn for some last training sessions. Today we started the Kitesurf-Trophy in St. Peter but we didn´t have enough wind for the freestyle. So finally we started a best trick with off-shore wind in front of a huge crowd. It was warm enough to wear only a shorts and the music was really motivating me. Full of adrenaline and fun I could land a KGB blind and some other tricks and could wind that one. Florian and Sünne won the contest in the juniours and women. Let´s see how it goes on tomorrow!

At the moment I am spending my time on Germanys richest island Sylt. Last weekend we had the Kitesurf-Trophy here and it was a bit chaotic for me but in the end it all turned out good. On Friday we did some heats in light conditions and Saturday morning the weather changed and we had to ride our heats in strong, gusty winds.
In the final against Stefan I was to lit on my nine so I tried to change to seven. A huge gust came and my father flew away with the kite. (Later I saw it on TV - pretty funny!) Luckyly I could manage a double HP and a Frontmobe blind in the last minute…On Sunday Rick had his day and he came all the way up. He did some huge huge tricks on his 8 that day so I had to ride against him. He did a nice Mobe and some big Loops, but I won that heat with some save tricks like Slim, 313, Flat3…
So I finished first and now I just do some days of vacations with some friends from my hometown. Giving some kite lessions, some party and trying some new tricks….
After the competition I stayed 3 days more in the capital of wind and we did some photos with the whole team. It was great fun and we got a lot of great shots!
On wednesday in the morning I went from Tarifa to Fuerteventura to film some action over here. We are driving around in the north trying to find the best spot. In the morning we always have to get up at 6 o´clock because then we have the best light and good wind.
Today we went to a lagoon and we had a great session with a kicker.Thanks o lot to everybody for building and helping us! –> Redshark Fuerteventura.com
