Training - Day5
Since I was totally sore from running yesterday, but the dog still got me out of bed at 7AM, I had to kill time by studying, since Ralf and Eve were still sleeping, and I could not do sports cause of my muscles. Today I wanted to check Taiba. I did not have a car, but one of Ralfs friends was so nice as to drop me off there. But before that he got stuck in the loose sand, and I had to use all my energy to get him out of there :-(Continue reading Comments (2) 26.11.2007. 13:05
Training - Day4
Today I wanted to get another day in Paracuru, and the wind looked already a lot better than yesterday... In the morning I went running on the beach (yeah, the chubby rolls on my belly have to go ;-) and before and afterwards I studied each 45 minute Sessions of Microbiology (yuk) At 11 AM I left to go to the beach form y first session on the 11 Yarga. It was just perfect, well powered so I pulled out all my repertoire of tricks, also some KL HPs which I havent done in ages. With the high tide I played a little with the waves which was really sweet.Continue reading Comments (0) 24.11.2007. 12:57
Training - Day3
I had also brought my 13 with me, for Emergency-reasons... and this was one: No good wind in the first borth days. So I went to Paracuru where there was no wind untill 1 PM. Then, muchas gracias, the wind picked up a little, and it was just perfect fort he 13. I had two sick sessions untill 6PM with sonsetting, and I finally got back to practise again. I am still not back at my highest level, even though I could get some sweet nice new tricks such as a Indy grabbed S-Mobe and I also try to do all my tricks with lots more power. At night I was really exhausted fort he first time since I am here, hoping tomorrow would be just another sick day!BEST Cheers

TRAINING - Day2
Today we wanted to check out a real Top-Secret Spot here close by! So I took the Quad since the spot was only accessible over the beach. It was sick: nice Lagoon, would be really cool for filming of the sand dunes. My biggest kite was 11 and it was not enough... I was really frustrated, and the locals informed me, that always before Fullmoon the wind was pretty weak. So lets hope for more in 3 days...BEST Cheers

TRAINING - Arrival
While waiting for my flight to Lisboa from Madrid I already received my first lucky message: my flight would have a 1 hour delay... great, considering that I had only 90 minutes transfer time in Lisboa! But at least they stuck to this 1h delay and I arrived 30 minutes before my Fortaleza-departure in Lisboa, and thanks to the ground-transfer I even got the flight without any bigger problems. Cool, my luggage even made it, which I really could not believe due to the short lay over in Lisboa.Continue reading Comments (0) 21.11.2007. 01:11

TARIFA - Day2
Today we finally got the forecasted 35 kts! Daniel and me decided to have an early session at Valdevaqueros at 9AM before breakfast! The conditions were difficult: supergusty, choppy and totally strong! The few riders on the water acted like in a war, and even I had to adapt a little since I had not had such conditions since July! But I got used to them fast and I was able to disply some nicely powered HPs and some sick KLs!Continue reading Comments (0) 15.10.2007. 22:24
PKRA Chile - Back Home
It felt so good to finally have all this years competition behind myself! It was an exhausting season, I had learned a lot both in kiting but also in life! Yesterday evening I had a real nice weight lifting session with some weights since a long time and this morning I went running for 30 minutes!!! This feels so great... I am even a little sore from yesterday ;-) I cannot wait to finally leave this cold place and get back into warm Europe ;-)Continue reading Comments (1) 09.10.2007. 10:48
