Jan Schiegnitz: German Snowkite Champion 2010

German Snowkite Champion 2010, yeah it sounds so good (smile). It has been my first snowkite contest, which I’ve been waiting for years. I came third place in the international judging after Remi and Heinar and won the German Championship. It was a hell of fun shredding the obstacles and doing handlepasses on snow. At Saturday evening the wind forecast looked pretty bad, so everybody celebrated massive on the fabulous Schwerelosigkite party. All in all it had been an awesome weekend! Read more ...

Jan Schiegnitz: First day Snowkite World Cup Resia

It has been good conditions for the first day of the official Snowkite World Cup and German Championship. Not really a lot of wind but still enough to get the freestyle heats done.  Yesterday they have canceled the freestyle discipline in my heat, so I had to compete first today. I continued to the semifinals successfully. There I met on Remi Meum the snowkite champion of 2009. This guy is killing it. It was a pleasure to ride with him. He did a sick KGB grabed and a lot more stylish tricks. In this first snowkite contest for me I rode my best heat against Remi, doing a fs 360 indy, bs 360,  s-bend to blind, kiteloop to wrapped, fs boardslide 360,  slim chance and frontmobe. I lost but still have been stoked of the session. In the loosers final I met on Oli Panny a team budy from Liquid Force. A really nice guy, who rides with a lot of power and super stylish.  We both rode the envy and had a lot of fun shreding the obstacles and kickers. At the end I got third. Hopefully the wind will pick up tomorrow to have another sick day on the snow. Read more ...

Jan Schiegnitz: back at the base

…just got back home and it is a huge difference between 30°, turquoise water, bright sunshine and minus 10° with snowfall. Anyway, last Friday a nice article about the snowkite session on the Wasserkuppe was published in a daily paper. Just perfect, to get me real excited about the next snowkite session… Read more ...

Jan Schiegnitz: Fuerte forever #1

The first days on the new 010 material have been awsome. Riding in bright turquoise water and sunshine, wearing boardshorts only  -  i like! Around afternoon the wind dropped – we all didn’t like-  so we switched from waves to dunes and had a fun session on sand.

Jan Schiegnitz: Fuerteventura training part 1

Early in the morning we arrived on the island. So we still had a lot of time to check out the spots. The next days it will be windy and the waves as high as today – i like! Yesterday we had the first session on the water with 30° degrees, boardshorts and easy 15 knots at the north shore. Here are some pics from the north shore… Read more ...

Jan Schiegnitz: with daisy to wasserkuppe, vogelsberg and winterberg

The low-pressure region “Daisy” brought along a lot of wind. We started our trip on the wasserkuppe and rode the first insane session. The day after, Daisy was too strong, took all of the snow and blew it away, so we continued driving north heading towards Winterberg. All of the crazy pictures will be in the next Kiteboarding . Don’ t miss it…

Jan Schiegnitz: having snow fun in fresh powder

On Saturday I met my brother and some friends to enjoy a few good days in the alps. It was just insane. 30 centimeters of powder on my first day back in the snow. I’m loving it. At first we went on some hikes to get into snowboarding again after the long summer season. We found a sweet lip to use as a take off, and started out the season with an epic kicker session. My brothers grabs in front of the backdrop of the Starnberger See and my first Backflip 180 in black and white. Yesterday it began to warm up again. So we decided to switch the underground from snow to ice. We had a lot of fun climbing up a huge frozen waterfall. Read more ...

Jan Schiegnitz: envy

The new Envy is finally available. This kite is so much fun. I have never flown a kite which is so stable, so easy to control and offers so much versatility for easy cruising, wakestyle and freestyle. The Envy is a blast from the first moment on, and will never get in the way of your progress. That’s most importantly, able to enjoy your time on the water. For me thats it, what it is all about. Check out the new Envy. It pays to buy good kites. Read more ...

Jan Schiegnitz: Now it’s wintertime

Last spring I spend a weekend on the Wasserkuppe, which was absolutely unique. We call the highest mountain in Middle Germany tenderly “Waku”.  The name stands for incredible fast weather changes, strong winds and the place to be for snowkiting. We were damned lucky to witness one of these very random perfect days: 20 knots, blue sky and fresh powder. We took photos with three external flashlights. My feet felt like after a marathon. But it made so much fun to do  540s, rodeo flips, inverted rolls… over the kicker, that we continued the session the half night! So far we are planing the next trip. If you wanna see already one of the sickest photos. check the new Justkite calendar. A few days ago I have been with Jens in the alps, but unfortunatly we had no wind,  so we produced some funny pics of the new LF snowboard. Read more ...
