My Bali-Trip on 9 Pages !
The very latest issue of THE greatest german kite-magazine – Kiteboarding.eu Mag – has hit newsagent shelves all across Central Europe.
In it: My Trip to Bali and my article about this unforgettable, magic journey on the ‘Island of the Gods’ what Bali is known as!
Bali is without a doubt paradise, even more so when you love waves 🙂 !
The place truly is unbelievable, during the good season you can find ‘perfect laboratory surf conditions’ pretty much every day – JOY !
On my “All-Time” trip to Bali I felt truly privileged working together with an incredibly inspiring person and absolutely awesome photographer: Mark Thorpe, who lives on the island today. Due to his amazing skills, the feature comes on 9 pages 🙂 stoked !
Mark has been in underwater-photography and filming for most of his life. In his career he’s been filming (amongst loads of other highly interesting stuff under d’water) white + tiger sharks for National Geographic in South Africa and even has won the Cannes-Prize for a movie a few years back. I would like to take this opprotunity to shout out a ‘HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE THANX’ to him for all his hard work, incredible passion & motivation. Mark u truly ROCK man and it’s been an absolute pleasure having been on this mission with U 🙂 Thanx dude !
Oh yeah, Mark has also recently launched his own watersports-apparel label “Liquidmocean”, which only shortly after introducing it to the Bali market is skyrocketing, every one wants a Liquidmocean rashie, boardie,…. I can’t blame the people over there for frothin’ for Marks gear, it’s really darmn cool stuff 🙂 !
Another BIG THANX goes to Jankie and his lovely family! Jankie and I always went kitesurfing together, we had so much fun and I owe to him many great sessions. As the owner of Bali’s only kite and SUP-shop, Jankie is the man to contact for kitesurfing, SUP’ing,… you find him in the Pro Shop in Sanur!
So guys, get you *** down to the nearest shop and get yourself a copy of the mag!
Trust me, you gonna like it 🙂
Have fun folks & enjoy the article!
Gxx …always stoked about your feedback
