Windy Austria
Since I came back from South Korea, it was on monday, it´s great here at my homespot. Yesterday I was out on iSONIC 101 and Code Red 7,0. Today the wind picked up to 30 knots + in gusts - it was very gusty - and I had fun on the 6,2 and 86. What a nice feeling sailing on →

It was fun and I could finish 19th. Was worth to come here. Here are some impressions of Jinha:
Windy again at Jinha beach

Rain over Jinha
In the moment big clouds hang over the bay of Jingha. For today it´s over and the opening ceremony will be on soon. Here is a shot from the actual event mag, where I made it inside. Tomorrow the PWA wants to start early around 9.00 a.m. I will sail in heat 3 and hope to make it up. Keep you updated, Chris

I finished in 36th position overall. More important was the positive feeling in speed, acceleration and jibes. In two heats I could →
PWA Slalom in Austria
We had 2 days with great wind already. On the firts day I did good. On the second I was a bit unlucky with my tactics. The good thing is, that it takes place at home and I get a lot of media attention. All the best from windy Podersdorf, Chris
