I hope you all had a great 2010 with many quality sessions on the water! We seem to get a very cold winter but I still hope that 2011 will provide us with some great conditions and milder temperatures!

Got a good 2-hour freestyle session in last weekend. It felt actually a lot warmer than the last sessions I have had at the Baltic. The wind seemed a lot less arctic. Conditions were far from spectacular but there were some good gusts to be had. I was also quite happy to nail an ok normal stance kono and some burners on the way out. On the way in the wind was a lot gustier, especially where they were taking photos. Even though the photographer seemed to concentrate on Bavaria's most well-known freestyler Fabi Weber, I still managed to get this shot: (pic by Sebastian Schoeffel) I have been in hospital from Sunday evening until today, so it was great to get some windsurfing in before having my nose repaired. This operation was really necessary as I was having problems breathing through my nose. If there's something like surfer's ear maybe I was suffering from a surfer's nose? :-) Well, it's all good now, even though the doctors had to remove a lot of cartilage and...

First freestyle session today after a two-month break due to injury. It felt so great when I got on the plane for the first time. But I have the impression that I might need a better camera for those gloomy november sessions.

Here are some older pics from my last trip to Denmark a little more than a month ago. Fractured my right hand during the trip and finally got rid of the cast. So I'm doing some physio and hope to be back on track in about two weeks. Pretty flat out with college too but already planing trips for next year. Watch this space for a little freestyle vid that is to be released soon.

Here are two move sequences that were shot at one of my last sessions down here in Crete. Going back to Germany soon. Let's hope for a windy autumn at the Baltic. funnell-clock-sequence chachoo-sequence

Winds are still howling on Crete. Here's some photos from the last sessions I have had.
