1st at KTE Austria! Stoked!
Yeeeeew! So happy to defeat the first place in the doubles! Yesterday was a pretty long day, especially for the orga team and the judges. After running race in the moring the side-offshore wind from the south picked up and we ran the whole 6 hours of double elimination. Towards the evening some massive black clouds showed up and some heats had to be rerun, so it was nearly dark when my heat started. This time I had to go against my team mate Stefan Spiessberger who won against Mike one heat earlier. Right before the heat the wind turned 90 degrees and picked up from 15 knots to 47! Despite the rough conditions it was a really sick scenery with the sundowner in the back, the rising full moon in front in front of the black clouds and the beach party!
A very big thanks to my parents, Stefan Permien and the rest of the German crew for helping me out at the beach and on the water! The event finished with a nice aftershow party and right now I am sitting at Vienna airport waiting for my plane to Sri Lanka.
1st in the Singles at KTE Austria
Yesterday we completed the Single Elimination here in Podersdorf/Austria. This is the first comp of the year for me and I was a bit excited because of my injury, which I suffered in winter. Thats why I am even more stoked right now. The conditions were slightly gusty but perfect for 10 and 12 meter here at the lake! Every heat I could improve a little bit, nevertheless there were some pretty tough heats. In the final against local matador and friend Mike Schitzhofer I landed a Frontmobe blind, Indy 3, Downloop Slim and double Sbend pass!
Today it´s super sunny and the wind is getting stronger. Right now the racers are getting ready - let´s see if we can run a double elimination!
