Good time back home
Yesterday I had my first jetski ride. Andy, a good friend from the time at University Vienna, invited us to the Jet ski center. Now I really like the sport. It´s crazy how you can feel the horse powers...and it was just the beginning. After my first jetski lession / Pic: Kerstin Reiger This is my coach Andy / Pic: Kerstin Reiger Today →
Windsurfing back home
Home sweet home at Lake Neusiedler. And the wind was up yesterday. For sure more than 500 watersport enthusiasts had fun on the water. I had fun, too sailing on my slalom gear. It was perfect for 7,7 and 122 liters. But it was more choppy than I remembered. It felt like sailing all the time at the jibe mark →
Alacati done

Great waves at Sotavento
Three days ago the wind dropped a bit, but the swell kept on rolling in the shores of Fuerteventura. I went out on a relatively small sail, the Gator 4,2 and my smallest waveboard I brought in my boardbag on this trip, the EVO 75. On one of my sessions Burghard Drews accompanied me with his photocamera. On the first →

The following days the wind was up and I went for Slalom jibing training in the super choppy conditions with Code Red 6,1 and Isonic 86. Additionally I did a lot of media →
