Season Kickoff 18 – Medulin

13. März 20187. Mai 2018

This year my season kicked of super late, as I was still recovering from a small hand injury. Anyways my comeback was strong…a super nice Southwind Weekend in Croatia. Vanlife, Bureks, Beach, Sea and some wind. At least I was sailing all my Gear from 5.2 with 100l to 3.6 and 75l – was great fun and I could also test some new stubby shapes from Flikkaboards in different sizes with different fin setups. All in All a great comeback weekend – and after I was ready for some spring sessions at Home! BUT the winter kicked back – snow, ice and decent -°C temperatures made a season start in Austria impossible – so I had to escape again…

Croatia Easter 2016

28. März 201622. März 2017

Just enjoyed some windy days down there in Croatia. Since I ve been back from Capetown – it was quiet cold in Austria, but last week a proper Bora-forecast for Istria, Croatia popped up – so I finally started the Windsurfing Season also in Europe.

We had kind of mixed conditions as I was sailing all my sails from 4.2 overpowered (local guys on 3.4-3.7) to 5.0 pumping. I was sailing with Woife Strasser from Germany, one of the most inspiring guys, I met for a long time. Altough he is around 50 and has cancer – he is really fit and pushing himself into the Freestylemoves. My friend Jo took some pictures.

On the way back I dropped by at Flikkaboards – discussing some changes on the upcoming Freestyleboard and I also picked up some Testboards from the Coreline. You can now test the Allround Wave 85, Freewave 99 and 107 in Podersdorf at Surfshop USD. If you wanna try the Freestyle its also no problem – get in touch with me! I ve a couple of boards ready to go!

This time I really wanna thank Ford Beyschlag for helping me out with this nice van (already last year), but I enjoy driving so much with it!

Back on the Water – Winter 15

22. Januar 201522. März 2017

This Winter was kind of hard for me. After I hurt my shoulder at the Austrian Championships I had to take it easy and take some time off the water – I fully focused on studying. Then around Christmas I found out I still had a broken bone in my jumpingankle- since last summer. So the doctors told me to take it even more easy – no sport, no fun at all. Around three weeks later a really good Bora forecast poped up – so I went for some sailing to Croatia. That was really nice. 3.6 full power and my new 80l Freestyle Wave Board from Flikka Boards- THX Luka Jures. Now I will try to go back fully into sports around end of February. With hopefully no pain around mid of March. Stay Tuned…
