My results
This is an overview of all my results in my windsurfing carreer. I did not start with competing in this sport from the beginning on. When I was young I did ski racing, studied Sports later, had to make it through all the tests and limits at the Sports University of Vienna and started competing in some freestyle events around 2000 while living and working on Lake Garde. In July 2005 I started to sail on Slalom kit and really enjoyed it. I participate in the highest tour, the PWA tour and also compete in lower level events. More and more I race, more I get hooked.

Results 2010:
“It´s a really tough season so far. I am fast, but somehow can not really translate it on the racecourse. I invested many hours in training jibes, but would need to invest more in mark training with opponents. In the autumn I want to improve my topspeed on the lake, continue training in the gym and work on my jibes continously!”

“The season started with a good performance in South Africa. Made it in the last final in second position, just behind Ben van der Steen and finished 8th. I also could win the Vietnam Funcup for the first time and finished the PWA Slalom tour in 27th position. In the end of the season, on the 11th of October, I participated inmy first Formula race of my life. It was out of my view the best I ever had since starting Slalom racing.”
