Holidays in France

After that long and cold winter with gloves, hoodie and booties, I was really keen to go somewhere with almost summer temperatures. I ended up in France at the atlantic coast and scored some really good days for windsurfing and surfing. As always more surfing than windsurfing, but who cares... I love both of it!
But sailing in waves with my 4,7 Manic HD and friends is the best!

Hanstholm weekend...

What a weekend!
I had the best conditions and the best session of my season 2009. Hanstholm was just going off. Pretty much like South Africa, super nice down the line conditions with really nice waves and 4.2 sail.
It was quite a challenge because I haven´t been sailing so much in sideshore conditions this year, so I really had to push my bottom turning and keeping speed on the wave. In the end it felt quite comfortable and it would be so nice to have more days like that before the PWA Worldcup in Sylt will happen.. but now I´m back to work, quite exhausted from the weekend and dreaming of the nice waves......

STUUUURM.........

Was für ein Abend!!!
Mein 3,3er Manic HD kam endlich mal wieder zu Einsatz... Sturm über Deutschland und das direkt bei uns vor der Haustür....

Nordwest vom feinsten, zwar mit Mega-Regen...aber herrlich!!

Heute nachmittag geht´s weiter in Weissenhaus, dann endlich mit Sonne!

Schöne Grüsse

Schöne Tage...

Nette Tage an der Ostsee...vor allem bei der Surfschule von Wassersport Brasilien bei Schönberg/Kiel war vergangenes Wochenende viel los. Das alljährliche Surf Opening stand an.

Dieses Jahr mit richtig viel Programm: Windsurfschnupperkurse, Standup Paddling, Tischkickerturniere und 5 Livebands rundeteten das Wochenende ab. Dazu gab es Samstag abend recht spät noch Waveboard Wind und man konnte auf der Ostsee noch ein wenig die kleinen Wellchen schlitzen.

Endlich kann man die blöden Schuhe und Haube einmotten: das Wasser hat 16 Grad und die Sonne scheint dank Nordwestwind auch dabei. Herrlich!!!

So könnte es von mir aus weitergehen......

Schöne Grüsse von der Küste!

Test Gaastra Manic 4,7 (Surf Magazin 03/09)

Now it is really Blowing!!

Kevin: Well today was super windy.. Went out for a wave sail and got blown off the water on a 4.7 Manic but the waves were pretty fun and good to get out into the wave action again. Then went down for a slalom session and felt pretty good until I got lifted up and spit out by a gust and slammed my neck into the sail... so now I got a wrenched neck and hoping to get it all back to normal soon. The new Vapors feel really nice . If you want to get your order in for some, you better it in quick. They are moving pretty fast these days.
