What’s a kitpro supposed 2 do on days when there’s no wind nor any waves 2 surf…??? mh, that’s what I asked myself here yesterday at lovely Mount Maunganui-town on the East coast of the North island, New Zealand. Mount Maunganui is home to my team-mate and mulitple Kiwi-national Champ Marc Jacobs. Darmn, I had […]
New feature in my portfolio !
Getting ready for the summer – especially after perhaps eating a little too much during Christmas, Easter and so on… 🙂 !? – I worked out a fitness routing for ‘gym-avoiders’, i.e. far off boring dumb bells and machines that’s focusing on strengthening kite-specific muscle groups. Especially considering today’s ‘New-School-Era’ with all the moves that […]

Cruzin’ South Island, New Zealand
Yo folks, it’s been a loooooot of driving ever since I’ve picked up my incredible camper van in Christchurch.

Kitemare in Big Swell
S I C K, this week Wednesday, 10th March, was full moon and my personal full moon theory has proven yet again, this time, though, with about 1000% 🙂 Yes, the beginning of the week brought simply p e r f e c t surfing conditions, glassy, beautiful days, swell, sun, no wind, y e s, I reckon I might have […]
Weather in W.A. going nuts..!?
Yo mates, apologies for my long blog-absence but honestly: nothing really 2 report from W.A. apart from the fact that the weather is going a b s o l u t e l y NUTS !? Yeah, the last 10 days, we had a winter-attack, lots-a-heavy-rain last week plus – you will not believe this […]
