Good session on Friday
That was so nice. Even though I was on a freestyleboard as I have just saved up for a new waveboard now, it was so much fun to ride these waves and do some moves in between.

New Video: February Trippin'
Here's a quick edit of a couple of windsurf sessions I had in February. Spots are Pozo and Arinaga on Gran Canaria and Brouwersdam in the Netherlands.
Interview on windsurfnews.de
Here's a short interview in German. You can read about my new gear and about my plans for the upcoming season: http://windsurfnews.de/news_read.php?id=1218 Check out this Funnell as well, if you haven't seen it yet. Really nothing special but it was a nice feeling to get on the plane with just the power of the wave.
cold session in Rostock harbour
Was driving around a lot looking for wind today and finally found what I was looking for just "in front of the house" in the harbour of Rostock. The wind had already dropped a lot by the time I got on the water but it was nice to finally sail this spot. I really should have listened to that one guy on boardseeker who was talking about how you shouldn't look too far for better conditions when there's wind on your doorstep!

Just came back to Germany after two weeks in Gran Canaria. It was a great trip. I met new people and had good conditions on the water.
Evening Session on 5.3
Yesterday, the wind decided to pick up just before it got dark. So I had to hurry to get on the water in time. There were some nice little ramps to be had but it was mainly flatwater sailing. Well, Pozo without swell doesn't mean it's completely flat. There's always loads of chop and it can be difficult to keep the speed when doing a move. But now that I've seen that the conditions at the freestyle worldcup in Vietnam are pretty choppy as well and how these guys do all the latest moves in that chop, I am more motivated to learn to do the tricks in all kinds of conditions, too. Well, probably not in front of a 4m wave anyway. Here's some shots taken by my Spanish friends Jacobo and Pablo from Madrid who had to leave Pozo today. See you soon!
Choppy and windy in Pozo today
What a great day on the water today! There's even more wind to come! Check back for more soon.
