Sebastian Bubmann - Kiteboarder & Snowkiter

Thailand

Sebastian — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:44:08 +0000

These days many riders seem to visit Thailand … a few years ago it was Australia everybody started talking about. Ages ago it was Tarifa … now – Thailand!
Also the PKRA added a main event + a qualifier event in Hua Hin this year. The KTA will be holding an event right after the PKRA.

Since I am on vacation at the moment I didn’t hesitate long and booked my flights. But what’s even better … the Flysurfer – importer owns a catamaran called “Two To Tango” which is currently situated in Phuket. But since he’ll be moving to Hua Hin soon the boat will need to be moved. Together with Nick de Brujn (Photographer & Videographer) from Holland I’ll take part in this amazing trip and sail around Thailand and Malaysia. We’ll have GPRS and in the marinas also wireless and I’ll keep you posted here all the time. We’ll have a small boat to access the islands, a compressor and diving equipment for the days without wind as well as fishing gear to feed ourself. It’s gonna be AMAZING! The day after tomorrow my flight departs and I’ll return 7 weeks later … a great start for the upcoming season. Should help me to get back in shape after a long winter with many, many exams.

Here’s the boat:

Here’s the route:

Stay tuned,

“A few seconds on Fehmarn 09″

Sebastian — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:56:53 +0000

The last stop of the german Kitesurf – Trophy was ok but unfortunately the winddirection was really bad and gusty so we went to the other side of the island and filmed for an hour or so. Not too many shots came out of the shoot but it was enough for “a few seconds on Fehmarn”.

“Short freestyle session KPWT sylt 09?

During the KPWT Worldcup this summer we got some shots from me riding the beachbreak after the heats. Here’s a little video from the action:

“Kiteloop funsession Hamata 09″

Sebastian — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:53:46 +0000

Here’s what came out of a 10 min filming session in some of the strongest winds we had during our stay in Hamata 09. It was blowing with about 35kts.
I was out on my 8m and Yusca on his 6m PSYCHO4. Since the water was only ankle – deep it was a bit scary but luckily allour gear lastet and we had so much fun!! But see for yourself …

“Loop that bloody foil!”

Saint Peter – Ording fall 2009. We had some really good winds on that day. I was out on my 8m PSYCHO4 on shorter lines. (18m).

They’re here …

Got the shipment of UPS today! Finally!!! Looking forward to get on the water soon … only 3 exams and 3 weeks left until I’ll be going to THAILAND for the PKRA and the KTA! After that I’ll do a SICK trip … stay tuned. More informations coming soon.

Bavaria rocks!

Haha … believe it or not but I’ve been out on the water 3 of 4 days this week so far. I discovered a pretty nice spot like 5 minutes from where I live and also had a good session on the Ammersee. I mean, it’s really getting colder and colder every day but still, it’s a cool thing to go out and ride pretty smooth water powered up on your “15m Speed3 Deluxe” and a Flyradical L. Much better than going to the gym or running for sure!!

Unfortunately I’ll have to skip the best day tomorrow because I do have a huge block – course in the uni which I just have to attend. But on Saturday I’ll be back out on the Lechstaustufe 23!! See you there … if you aren’t in Brazil like pretty much everyone I know atm.

Also thanks to my local supporter no. 1 - Michael Malina, Kitejunkie.com.
