This weekend I decided to use the good weather and predicted thermals to catch some good flights on my brand new Skywalk TEQUILA3. For my weight I got the size S. I made a terrible mistake and didn’t make it all the way across the valley against the wind and back over the ridge because I underestimated the strength of the wind. Even though my gilder recovered fast from a few mega deflations in the leeward side of Col Rodella. It was absolutely not a good place to be with around 30km/h of wind but this wing brought me back to the landing area safely.

It was hard to get on top of the Marmolada but flying around Sella, Pordoi and Langkofel is a unique experience and the landscape is AMAZING! Now I’ll get back to my Bachelor’s Thesis and plan for a trip towards the end of the month.

Stay tuned!

Winds were gusty as hell, weather changing and the water about ankle – deep. But still we could throw down some nice loops. Liked that session!

Be prepared for some killer action and a lot of fun and get over to the Flysurfer Unity Foto Jam in Bad Tölz.

Hey everyone,

it’s been ages, I know … to be precise more than a freaking month!

I’ve looked around for quite a bit in the past, to find a new clothing-partner to work with … and I’ve found one: Bleed – Organic Clothing! I am happy to work together with Spitzi from now on and push his brand in the kitesurfing- and snowkiting-scene. The clothing of Bleed is killer. The style doesn’t really come too much from the beach but more from the street … founder Michael Spitzbarth has got his roots in Skateboarding but since the brand is getting bigger and bigger he’s expanding into other scenes like kiting as well. Good thing about Bleed is, that you’ve not only got a super stylish product but that by purchasing it you support a good movement. Our nature has been bleeding for way too long already, being exploited by the humans … Bleed goes ahead and minimizes the ecological and social costs of the products as far as possible. Being certificated by Naturland and the Global Organic Textile Standard proves that Bleed is going the better way to achieve a long term sustainability of the products. The best thing is … this all comes with a superb style and highly functional products. Enough of the talk, check this shit out!!

Apart of that there hasn’t been much going on over here but working my a** off for the studies. I’ve got six exams and my bachelors thesis left until the end of the year and at the moment I’ve got an exam a week which pretty much doesn’t leave a lot of space in my calendar … sitting in the library drinking Red Bull and eating beef jerky all day long.
I didn’t enroll in the master of TUM BWL since I think I’ll need some time for orientation, internships, traveling and my sport. Once I am finished here I’ll get back on the planes and see some parts of the world I haven’t seen yet I guess.

Later
