After my 4th place in Tarifa I decided to do more than one Tourstop in this organisation. So after Pkra Germany I booked my ticked to Brussle and from there I drove to Dunkerque in the north-east of France. The eventorganicer did a good job and setted up a nice eventvillage with bars, shops and so on. Unfortunatly the wind didn’t show up the first days and so we got preety bored.

On the 4th day the wind showed up and let us run almost 2 rounds of the Singleelemination. I had two good heats and went through in the 3rd round. After my heat the wind dropped and we cancelled fort this day.

The next day looked promising and the wind picked up as predicted. In my first heat I had to go against Chris Tack who could beat current worldchampion Jesse Richman. He did a good heat but I could also show a lot and made it into the next round. In the 4th round I had to go against Vincent Tiger. The heat was about who makes it into the big final. We both got pretty powered on our 11m kites. I have seen Vincent doing some nice big air stuff like a huge 720 Boardoff combined with sick wakestyle tricks. Anyway I was feeling really confident about my riding and showed lots of nice tricks. Due to that I made it into the final. I had to face Peter Tyushkevich. Slowly it is quiet normal to go against him. I got him in every competion this year so far. We did a good job on the water and showed good freestyle. In the end the luck was on his side and he won the competition. Still I’m super stoked about my 2nd place and my fisrt podium at a worldcup!!!!
