Bad luck
Yesterday the last Slalom 42 comp got started here in Sylt. A nice breeze with 7 to 11 knots were on the course. I sailed in heat 7. Just before the start the rope at the boomend went out of the rope. Such a bad luck. My sail had no tension and a massive catapult followed at the startboat when →
Nice update and great forecast
The days before leaving to somewhere are always extra busy. Today one of the biggest Austrian newspapers posted an update about myself - that´s a media highlight -and the PWA final on Sylt, where the windforecast looks insane. There is a chance to get some waveriding and freestyle done, too. Check it below and will keep you updated from the most →
4 cm longer fin
Today we had wind again. Also two days ago. It´s pretty consistent in the moment, but realtively cold: watertemperature 9° degrees and windchilled temperature in between 0° and 10° degrees.

Wind on saturday
It´s incredible! We had wind on saturday again. This time the forecast was not as good as it turned out to be when sailing on the water.

Californiacation at my homespot
We had a great day here at the lake Neusiedler. Southern winds and super warm temperatures. In the beginning I sailed on my Code Red 9,0 and the ISonic 122. The wind picked up much and I decided to try my freestyle board. It was so much fun sailing on the light stuff that I forgot to stop my session →
Got a new sponsor
For a year from now on I get support by the Sportpool of my country Burgenland. That´s nice and a great honour to get selected by this organisation. Besides it helps to cover running costs for training or competitions. I also get support from the village of Podersdorf. I hope to find some more partners to have a chance →
