Back in Croatia

I did not sail in Croatia for a while. This year Boris Ivancic, the organiser of the Hallowind, asked me and Kerstin to come back to his homespot Premantura. A slalom race will take place. Just 3 sails, two boards and three fins are allowed. The 700 km ride was worth already. We got super strong wind today, around 35 →


Egypt was great

We just came back from Egypt, where we had great wind and met a lot of new cool people. Th ewind was up more than 60 % of the time and we had the chance to see the Pyramides as well. NOw it´s time to pack again. The this years windsurfing action is an endless story. We will drive to →


First time Egypt

Finally we got an internet connection in the Eastern desert of Egypt. We had no possibility to connect for about a week. But we had great wind while the last week, in between 20 and 25 knots.

Good final race

On the last day in the this years Sylt event the conditions were tough. Onshore wind and waves from many different directions. I could place myself on the sixth position while the first heat, sailing on teh Isonic 101 tuned with a 38 MFC Slalom and my brandnew Code Red R2 7,7, which was my best result out of all →
