Training Tarifa - Day8
After the whole puking story I could finally fall asleep for 3 hours. I spent the whole day untill the early afternoon in my room, watching movies, studying and working on my computer. Also, I received, even though a little early, my birthdaypresent ;-) my new iPhone! So I immediately worked into it, trying to figure out all ist features :-)Continue reading Comments (0) 01.02.2008. 12:41
Training Tarifa - Day7
We got up early, to take usage of the whole day at the lighthouse! The forecast looked weak, but I was able to go onto the water with 13 fot almost 3 hours. All the other riders were there as well, pushing each other to the next level!Continue reading Comments (0) 01.02.2008. 12:38
Training Tarifa - Day6
The wind was, just as prognosticated, simply crappy! So we checked the internet and looked for a suitable spot: The Levante was superlight and completely offshore in Tarifa! Even though, there are several other spots, neither Valdevaqueros, Punta Paloma, nor Bolonia was ridable!Continue reading Comments (0) 30.01.2008. 10:46
Training Tarifa - Day5
Yesterday night we made some nice party in town ;-) well, actually we rather went lingering around, to see what was going on... not much! Compared to Tarifa after easter: NOTHING! So we went back home, to be fit for kiting!Continue reading Comments (0) 30.01.2008. 10:44
Training Tarifa - Day4
Today we drove to Palmones, a spot 30 minutes towards Malaga. The place is pretty nice, embedded in a port. Thanks to the good cooperation among the BEST shops in Tarifa and the BEST-management in Barcelona I got to borrow a new 7, so that I was fully equipped for training!Continue reading Comments (0) 30.01.2008. 10:43
Training Tarifa - Day3
As the forecast prognosticated would bet he strongest Levante today: 60+ knots in Tarifa! An also Canos, was ripping with sometimes over 45 knots. First we did not even want to go out, but then I took out my 7, and went out, totally alone, Daniel was filming!Continue reading Comments (0) 30.01.2008. 10:40
Training Tarifa - Day2
When we woke up, and looked out of our window, 50 knots of Levante almost blew us off the roof! Therefore there was only solution to survive this day: Canos! 45 minutes by car, and the wind is almost 20 percent less! I was ripping really nice on my 7, and I felt my old strength coming back!Continue reading Comments (0) 29.01.2008. 20:55
Training Tarifa - Day1
I had to get up superearly, to pick up Daniel from the airport in Malaga! He would arrive at 8 AM so I had to get up at 6 AM. His flight was on time, so we went for a grocery shop afterwards. If the girls knew, how perfect us two boys are able to keep the household, they would be lining up in front of our apartement ;-)Continue reading Comments (2) 29.01.2008. 10:46

Training - Day29
Today would bet he actual last day fort his Brazil trip. To review the whole vacation I will recall all my sucesses but also my failures. Alltogether I tried to get a lot more power into my tricks, which I was defenitely able to do, as you might have seen on the short video Session in Paracuru. Moreover I tried to incoporate lots of grabs in my tricks to improve my style. However, my goal to finally get the double-passes I did not get close, even though I can land Slim to blind, Mobe to wrapped and Frontmobe to blind pretty well, I still need another training-vacation to get the Doubles!Continue reading Comments (0) 21.12.2007. 18:12
