Hey out there.

Sorry that I did not update my site for long time but I had some troubles here in Tarifa.

Let me give you an short review:
After my short stay at home in Austria my girlfriend and I took the flight to Malaga. We had a stop at Palma de Mallorca. After one hour delay we went to Malaga but our luggage stayed on Mallorca. Pretty bad because the competition startet on the next day. We drove to Tarifa without the stuff and tried to get informed about what’s happening next.

Next day I had registration and after that we waited the whole day for wind but it didn’t show up. After some phonecalls I managed some stuff to kite with. I got JN kites from the SpinOut-center and also a harness and wetsuit. I got a Balanceboard from Carlos and so I was equipped for the single.

On the second day of the comp the wind blew from the morning till sundown. I had to go against Tom Herbert from NewCaledonia. He is really ripping on the water with some crazy and powerfull tricks. I gave everything, made all my standard moves plus some nice tricks like 2ble S-bend pass and a huge kiteloopslim. At the end I had 12 tricks and he eight… I had a good heat and was confident but it was not enough. Carlos gave the win to me (ok - I was rode his board), Toby not (I think up to now I never wpon a heat where Toby was judging…) and there was a new guy from Spain, who asked Sammy (headjudge) what he should write on hei sheet as it was first event for him… I don’t know why I lost but that just happens… After the single was done I had to go again in the first round of the Double. I won this heat and tomorrow Double will be continued.

I hope I can find my luck somewhere out there because I think I lost it… If somebody find it please let me know or send it back to me. Thanks…
