No news by myself in more than 2 weeks….
S O R R Y … many apologies guys, I know, I’m a bad Gabi but believe me, it’s not leaziness or lack of motivation that I don’t put bloqs every couple of days. Nope, the main reasons are: 1) Generally every day many beauuuutiful things happen to me, however, those are pretty much always […]
Geraldton was only a short visit…
Geraldton is not really quite what we had expected. Quite a big town that apparently needs rather big swell in order for the waves to come through. Thus we decide to just spend one night in a cabin at one of the two caravan parks and saved us from un- and repacking the car, setting […]
Leavin’ Lancelin…
Already up really early, we pack up our 200kg and stack everything in and onto our beloved Ford Falcon. Departure, destination: Geralton, about 400km north of Lancelin. Along the way we stop at the ’Numbung National Park’, home to the ’Pinnacles Desert’. Rising mysteriously from the bright dune sands are thousand limestone pillars, up to […]
Chillin’ out @ caravan park in Lancelin
A rather chilled day. No mayor happenings except for a super poisonous thousandlegged creature in our equipment tent, just a step from our sleeping-coves entrance. Today only a very light breeze. We gave kiting a go, however, all attempts were pretty unsucessful with a few tacks in the shorebreack just outside our camping. Thus I […]
Python at the campsite!
Our stationwagon packed like a box of sardines – about 200kg of gear in the boot and on the roof – Martin, Jo, and me are heading up north out of Perth. First destination: Lancelin, a wind- and kitesurfspot about 120km away. Another quick stop at the hardware store to buy some more utensils which […]
…arrived well in Perth!!
Yeeees, f i n a l l y Australia, here I am, niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, so stoked Just arrived well in Perth! Although my journey only has started approx. 40 ours ago, there’s already so much to tell. Huff, the trip all the way from Europe was pretty stressful … in fact, it’s quite a story in […]
Guincho Wavemaster 2007 Part II
…incredible…a whole week at one of the windiest places on earth and still no results for the wavemasters 2007. I simply call it, the ’typical competition dilemma’: no matter which spot and how ’reliable’ it normally is… as soon as a competition hits off, the wind/waves disappear… In the female division, we managed to complete […]
Guincho Wavemasters 2007
Ever since I arrived here in Portugal for the Wavemaster 2007, I’m not the luckiest kitechick on earth … First day, just shortly after having picked up my rental car at Lisbon airport, it got already broken into. 2nd day, somebody crashed into me during a surf session at Praya Grande, breaking a huge hole into my new […]
