X-Mas Vibes in Vienna
Today the first snow fell in Vienna and although I’m currently super busy on my computer writing articles about my latest trips and adventures, I decided to take some off and to check out some of Vienna’s Christmas markets – in Viennese: “Christkindlmärkte” – in the beautiful old city centre. Yeah, I picked up my […]
Kontact Waveboard 2010 – sickest waveboard e v e r !
Although I’m currently in my hometown Vienna, which is at the moment suuuuuper grey, drizzly, cold and snowless, and there’s certainly no waves or swell around my neighbourhood here 🙂 !? …I would like to give my my personal opinion on North Kiteboarding’s latest wave-masterpiece: The 2010 Kontact.

‘Out-of-the-office’
For the next few weeks, I will be on hardcore wave-training at some very special place, far away from civilisation and thus also out-of-internet-coverage, thus I’m already apologzing here in advance that my blog-section won’t be updated regularily…. yep, sorry folks, however, sometimes even a kite-pro is ‘out-of-the-office’ … I would already like to thank u in […]
