happy! Sorry I haven´t been up to date for so long… enjoyed the holidays. After coming home from Greece - which was really great - I chilled at home for some days and did some party with my friends.

Then me and my dad went to St. Peter and I did the last sessions before the worldcup. The Pkra in Germany is even bigger than last year and for sure the biggest kite event worldwide. Quite a lot of people signed in - also a lots of Germans!

The first days we did the trials and some races. Sebastian Bubmann did quite well and is right now second overall in racing!Tuesday we started with the Singles in really light winds. Unluckily I lost my first heat against Sebastian Garat (France, Worldchampion KPWT), so I concentrated on the Doubles.Today we had quite a lot of wind - perfect for my 7m Vegas. The first heats I rode against my friends from Germany.

After winning these heats against Tobi and Rick I had to do a good heat against Cesar. Winning this one there were another chance against Sebastian Garat. Stoked about this run I had a good one against my teammate Reno from Brasil. In my next heat I was fighting with Mike „the knife” Blomvall for the 5th place. This was my best one - landing my normal passes, some switch tricks, Frontmobe blind…

My last one was against Tom Herbert and after spending 70 minutes fighting in my runs I had absolutely no power any more.But anyway super stoked about my 5th place - and this at my homespot!Thanks a lot to everyone for helping me, specially my family!

Best Trick - YippiyippiyeahThe Pkra just finished and all in all we had a lot of fun again and we saw sick action on the water! On friday we didn´t had wind so it was just chilling at the beach and playing PS3. The next day the wind came back again and I wanted to clim up in the Doubles. First I did quite ok against Maciek Kozerski and after I was in the with the Spanisch local Danny Rodriguez.

In the end I landed a Richmann (Kiteloop+double backrotation+Handlepass) so I was happy with that one! My heat against Jule I did quite the same and I advanced into the next one. Jule did quite a lot of Switch tricks, but the judges prefered my kite position.

Hey everybody! Today was no wind, so I could cut a little video from Tuesday. Yesterday we started with the singles and I had to go against Mike Blomvall. I was ok on my nine and could nail a lot of tricks like Double back pass, Frontmobe 5 and some switch. Anyway Mike also had a good day so I lost…
Later on he threw out Aaron, so actually he was on fire! Kevin could win the Singles and Alvaro came second.
Later that day we started with the Doubles and I had another good round. This one I could win on power against Maciek Kozerski. Let´s see how fare I can get tomorrow!
