KBO

The second tourstop of the Kitesurf Tour Europe took place in Noordwujk / Netherlands. This event is already known for his epic electro parties and the chilled atmosphere which we could totally enjoy due to the light wind.
On Saturday we could start the first rounds of the singles until the wind totally dropped. The last eigth riders (of the 32) in the game became the points for the first place – so right now I´m second in the European ranking!
Sunday we spent in Amsterdam… and on Monday the skippers meeting took place at 5 am but just brought another windless day.
Yesterday I´ve been doing some pics in Büsum and stayed way too long in the water! Can´t remember such a long session in the past years!

Ready to rock

Here another pic by Anne Valvatne I received today! Just tried my new 7 on the 20 meters. Today we´ve been out at place next to my home. We just discovered it some month ago and it´s working perfectly! I´ll keep you posted!

Seat Kitesurf Trophy / Büsum

Yehaaa! The tour stop in Büsum turned out to be a very nice event with perfect wind every day! We started with the Freestyle comp on Thursday and could finish the sinlge elimination. Here you can check the heat sequenze.
The wind was good for the 12 meter and just in the finals it dropped a bit… Stefan started very strong with FMobe blind and other difficult moves while I did some safe stuff and landed my hard ones in the end.
On Friday the first rounds of the doubles were on and then it´s been racing time. My dad won his first race and ended up second! Saturday the wind picked up and I defended the first place on the 7 meter Vegas!
Anne Valvatne won the at the girls and Mariam Hund got second behind Nils Wesch at the juniors.
After the main event the judges organized a kiteloop comp for the crowd on the beach – Stefan captured the victory with a huge megaloop!
Let´s see what´s going on in the Netherlands this weekend!
