 Hey guys,

yesterday we did have some really nice conditions on the Seat Kitesurf - Trophy on Sylt/Westerland. The wind was coming from the southwest and with the lowtide we did have some pretty nice flatwater - spots to take of and land.

I came all the way up to the semi - finals but the cancelled the run because the wind did drop too much. The organizers did re - run the semi - finals today but unfortunately the conditions were so very bad, that I couldn’t show anything and lost against Mario Rodwald.

Tomorrow there’ll be the double - elimination. The only problem is, that Pile will be behind the bar of the Cave - Club tonight and spend us all free drinks like all the years before … what will we do? Epic party or full power at the double tomorrow? ;) I am not so very sure about that yet …

Cheers, Sebastian

Hey everyone,

I just came back from Switzerland, where we didn’t have no wind at all and went straight to Denmark, since a friend of mine was there to paraglide and the conditions were looking pretty good! After that I went straight to the Browuersdamm in Holland, where Flysurfer had invited many dealers, importers and magazine - representatives to do the so called “Innovation - Days”.

 Paragliding Denmark

Armin Harich and Andy Hanrieder introduced the new Psycho4. We had some good winds on Friday and Saturday and Nick could shoot some really good pictures. Well, tomorrow I’ll go back to Germany and then it’s also already time for the next Kitesurf - Trophy on Sylt! All the past years we had superb conditions and some great party with “Pile - the King” behind the bar of the Cave - Club. ;)  We’ll see what will happen this year … if you have time, just come by…it’ll be some great kiting and partying!!

Laters, Sebastian 

The last day of the Seat Kitesurf - Trophy didn’t turn out any better than the previous two days did. The wind didn’t come in, the rain started and the only wind we had was during a huge thunderstorm. It’s been raining all night now and we’ll head back to Munich, where our train will leave tonight. 

I spoke to Mischa from Kitejunkie.com earlier this day and he’ll check for some boards so we can do some riversurfing before our train leaves. But before that we’ll have a hell of a drive through the rainy Alps …  

I’ll upload some pics of the river - action lateron …

Cheers

Lake Silvaplana and Mt. Corvatsch 

The second day of the Kitesurf - Trophy in Silvaplana started much more promising than the last one. The sky cleared up except some huge thermal clouds. Unfortunately there was still a pretty strong northern wind blowing which kept the Maloja - wind from starting. In the end of the day we saw another nice bikeshow, paddeled across the lake on stand - up paddleboards and played soccer. :(

The third and last day of the Seat Kitesurf - Trophy in Switzerland started with nice and sunny weather but now the front with the rain kicked in so we won’t know, what will be going on in terms of wind …

We’ll see! :)

Hey guys,

yesterday we did arrive in the beautiful St. Moritz in Switzerland. It was quite impressive to be surrounded by all those huge mountains! The organizers could get us a ride with the night - train from Hamburg to Munich for free so we had quite a relaxed travel. Arriving in Munich we did film a little roadtrip with the new Seat Ibiza on our way to Lake Silvaplana. 

Unfortunately the winds didn’t really kick in but came from the north which means straight offshore and down the mountains. The winds were that gusty that the organizers decided not to run a competition but to go riversurfing on the nearby river in St. Moritz. That turned out quite cool but unfortunately the water - level was too low so we couldn’t really ride that well on the wave. There was also a bikeshow going on and the guys from bikeshow.ch showed some cool tricks!

Alright, we’ll see what today brings us in terms of winds … if the conditions are not good to kite but to go fly I’ll evtl. go for a little paraglide lateron.

Cheers

Sebastian
