Heya! Just coming back from a great session here in Thailand with nice kicker waves. Pretty warm here right now and I´m really enjoying the last days of 2009 with my family! 
Here a video from my trip in automn:

Here´s some footage my sister took in Brasil. Hope you enjoy it!


Merry Christmas from Thailand

After two six hour flights in the new Airbus 380 which has two floors my sister and me arrived in Bangkog. We left the huge city and drove to the new NKB station in Hua Hin. The kiteschool is direcetly at the spot where you can chill and get some massages.
My parents already waited for us and checked the conditions, food and all the stuff you need for a good holiday and training. We already had some great sessions on the water - including some good kickers.
Yesterday we came to see a temple at the monkey montain. Funny to see all the crazy apes jumping around the monks and us.

Merry Christmas and some perfect free days to everyone!!!


Quiksilver Snowboardtrip

After NewCal I had a pretty hectic time at home with lots of important exames and parties. Last weekend Quiksilver invited the whole team Germany and Austria to rock on a snowboard trip. Rick (Kitebaording), Tom (Wakeboarding) and me met in Hamburg and took the plane to Salzburg. 
On Saturday we woke up with perfect powder in Flachau. Especially the snowboard team showed us some huge tricks in the Quiksilver Park. The local riders showed us the perfect untouched lines. The party turned out to be as good as the action on the snow - that´s why most of the team stayed in bed on Sunday. I wanted to go for another ride so much and rode until the last minute. The sleep I caught up on Monday in school…
