Today I took the boat at 9:30 to be there ready for the comp. The wind wasn´t that strong and I have been super motivated.The second heat of the day, Peter Tyshkevich against me. I was ok on my tlewve and started the heat with the basic passes. Then I managed some switch ones, Kiteloop Hp, double back to wrapped and Mobe to wrapped. Super happy beating Peter I had to go against the light wind machine Alvaro Onieva.In the end I was a little bit to far downwind and couldn´t stick everything - Alvaro was on fire and rode up to the third place.The first final, Kevin vs. Aaron, won Kevin because Aaron had lost his kite right before the heat and had to ride on eleven.The second final started the worldchampion with a nice Frontmobe blind and he managed nearly all his other tricks. Like a lot of switch ones and a Blindjudge 5. So he got it another time. I am super stoked about my result! Tomorrow I will do a little session on Coche and then fly home with Mike Schitzhofer from Austria who got 9th in the comp.http://www.extremeelements.com/live_results – http://www.kiteworldtour.com

We travelled over to el Yaque pretty early this morning to do our best in the Doubles. The wind wasn´t that strong so we had to wait some ours. At 12:30 I had my first heat, against the Kpwt Worldchampion Sebastian Garat. Until the very last minute it was super close but then I changed to my 12 meter Vegas and could land a Frontmobe blind with the horn. The next one was Madison Van Heurck who is also a really good light wind rider. I had my best heat of the day, landing some switch tricks, Frontmobe blind, double S-Bend pass, doubles back pass, Kiteloop Slim…. My last heat of today was against Mike Blomvall. We both hadn´t our best heat, but in the beginning I had some powered tricks and also managed this one. Now I am super happy and go to sleep. Tomorrow I will need all my strength and maybe more to beat the Russian Peter Tyshkevich.
In the morning we could chill a little bit because they had to finish the last rounds of the Single Elimination. We took the boat at 11:30 and then watched some hot action on the water! It was pretty choppy and in the beginning perfect for nine meter kites. Kevin and Aaron did the most impresive final I have ever seen! Kevin nailed a Frontmobe 5, Mobe 7, Blindjudge 5 and a Kiteloop double Handlepass! Aaron did nearly the same and some more switch moves - so he won the singles. Alex Pastor became third and Cesar Portas fourth. Then they tried the first round of the Doubles, Pile had bad luck again and had to ride his heat in off shore wind, underpowerd with 13…Tomorrow they go on with the second round and I have to go against the Kpwt Champion Sebastian Garat. Let´s hope that I´ll have a great heat again!
