As told i was at home for christmas latly but now I’m back in Capetown for almost 3 weeks. The wind was great so far. Only one day without wind and that break felt good as well. I also got Carina my girlfiriend with me and ist so much fun to be here together.

I’m still testing my new kites and we make big steps foreward! I have also made it up to the top of the Lionshead finally. I thought after my 5th time here in Southafrica ist was time for this hike and it was great…

After almost 3 weeks in Capetown I went home to celebrate christmas with my girlfriend and my familiy. I had an awesome time in Southafrica and the wind was really good so far. I could test my prototypes in all possible conditions and the kite is going to be sick!!! No I try to survive in the cold of europe and in two weeks I fly again to Capetown to finalize the kites and to train for the upcoming season…

Like every year I spend my wintertraining arround Capetown in Southafrica. This year I made it down here pretty early to help develope some kites for BEST. So far I had 5 days with great wind and all possible conditions. We make lots of progress with the kites and I’m really happy with the results. Till now I had no possibility to get some pictures done but I hope that I’ll have something to show you soon.

After getting a new Kitesponsor I could manage to get another company to support me. And what a company it is!!! I’m proud to announce that Americas #1 energydrink MONSTER ENERGY is from now on one of my sponsors.

SOOOOOO SICK!!!

Now it’s up to you to go out, buy the cans and „Unleash the BEAST“!!!!!!!!!

After an exciting week here in Bariloche/Argentina the
competition is over. We had wind every single day and almost every day for my 7m
kite. On the second day we started with the singleelemination and I had no
opponent in the first round. In the second round I had to go against my
roommate here Mario Rodwald. Pretty bad to pick your roommate in the drawing but thats life. The
conditions have been hard but I could land some nice tricks and Mario had a bad
day. I took the win and went into the next round to visit Alex Pastor. My heat
startet good but when I was going for my S-Bendpass I crashed hard and my bar
broke. So the heat was over for me and I got picked up by the rescueboat.

The Doubleelemination startet two days later with strong
wind and freecing temperatures. I could win my first heat against a local guy
and then I was facing Tom Hebert. Unfortunatly I struggled with the cold water
after a crash because I had to swim quite a while. After that I couldn’t feel
my hands anymore and I lost the heat. So I ended up on the 7th place… Thats
still a pretty good result and it keeps me motivated for the future.

Tomorrow ist time to go home. Will be a long journey.
Starting with the bustrip around 8am on sunday and I should arrive in Austria
at Thuesday afternoon.
