me, Jeri and a broken shoulder....

Jericoacoara, I really like this Spot in Brasil..... it was windy every day, I learned many new Moves and had a lot of fun there.... But now our Story unluckily is over..... I broke my shoulder a few days ago and have to leave for my Home El Yaque today..... I hope all is getting well there and i can be back on the water asap after the rehab........

Jericoacoara...... first time in brasil

it is my first time in Jericoacoara, brasil... it is a totally different experience. I really like this place, it is windy every single day, everything is close, the people are super nice and kind, each afternoon chico vento and his friends do their capoeira shows at the beach and already after a few days here i got some new manouvres for the 2009 PWA Tour....

nice spot sardegna...

since my last competition at Sylt I am at the Italian Island of Sardegna and it is really nice and perfect for all kinds of windsurfing. together with my fanatic and north teampartners andre paskowski and filippo buratti we are here for foto and video shoots and soon we leave to brasil for the next one....

Worldchampion 2008 !!!!!!!!!!!

YES !!!!! I got it again.... after loosing my title in the PWA Freestyle last year... i am so happy to get my title back after some good competitions in austria, lanzarote, fuerteventura and sylt ... thank you all for your support !!!!!

What a day at Sylt.... I love it....

Today we started the Competition, the last Freestyle Competition of 2008 and my chance to get my 2006 Worldtitle back.... The conditions were really tough... a massive Shorebreak and low winds... I was sailing my new 5,4 and the 100litre Board.... sometimes it became really hard to go out... if you don´t go one heat earlier, you might not have a chance to be on time in your Heat... that´s Sylt !! :-)
with the competition the wind got stronger and stronger (so did the rain ) and in the first 3 minutes of my final against antxon otaegui i was pretty powered up on my 5,0 before within five seconds the wind died completely to zero and we were not able to do anything in the remaining 2 minutes.... but anyway i´m stoked with my 2 place which would mean the on sunday i´ll get my crown back ... yeaaah !!!!!!!!#
