The photo to your FREE WALLPAPER CALENDAR for the month of May has been taken from a jet ski by Jamie Scott, one of the greatest surf photographers of all times, on a rather epic day, when considerable swell had hit the coast, at my personal very favourite place in the whole world.  Yeah, I refer to it as ‘paradise’, though, folks, apologies, it’s only for me to know where that is and for you guys to find out yourself…   otherwise I would spoil the fun of discovery, right Read more ...

Today, precisely one year ago, I was as close to ‘not seeing next day’s daylight…’  as I’ve never been in my life before. Yep, I experienced THE most serious wipe-out of my career in a rather serious swell that rolled in at Australias amazing west coast on 12th of March 2009.

You can read up on that day in my blog from a year ago, if you want. Basically what happened, is simply what can happen anytime, any day, in any condition…:  All of a sudden it all went horribly wrong and although I’ve been having the greates ball out there for almost 2 hours, suddenly sh$t happened… a monster munched me, I got tangled in my lines and got the second wave of a monster-set on my head, whilst still having a line wrapped around my arm… Read more ...

For the wallpaper of the month of March, I’ve chosen a waveshot that was taken by Russell Ord on some heavy swell day on the coast of Western Australia.  Yeah, I still remember this crazy session, like yesterday…

In the morning on waking up on the farm that I stay at here in W.A. I could already feel it, ‘Swell had hit’, I was absolutely positive.   I jumped in my car, the sun had only just risen, beautiful light everywhere through the giant gum trees, and speeded to the Ocean…    Yeah JOY, the surf’ was up, and even bigger than forecasted! Read more ...

Wow, the time has come…. After having spent 2 months in my home country Austria, it’s time 2 leave…  and I have to admit I’m getting a bit sentimental about it.

Yeah, it was the first time in many, many years that I visited Austria in winter time and I have gotten really used to the snow, the cold, hot drinks, and stuff Read more ...

Although I’m currently in my hometown Vienna, which is at the moment suuuuuper grey, drizzly, cold and snowless, and there’s certainly no waves or swell around my neighbourhood here   !?  …I would like to give my my personal opinion on North Kiteboarding’s latest wave-masterpiece:  The 2010 Kontact.

Shortly before boarding the airplane to grey, wintery Europe, I was praying for some last joy session in the mind-blowing waves of my beloved W.A…. and the Wind & Swell Gods answered my prayers    Thanx !!!

Yes yes yes, stoked, cause pretty decent swell rolled in with some sweet 20 knots, sunshine and I could go onto a wave Rock’n'Roll with my favourite kite and board, the 2010 Rebel 5m2 and Kontact 6′3 … mhhhhh, was so, soooooo good   !! Read more ...

Huff, after a 32 hours journey, pretty much from one side of the World to the other, I’ve arrived well back home in Vienna for the first time in almost one year…

3 planes, lots-of-rather disgusting plane food and a couple of tranquilizing glasses of vino, I have to admit, I’m pretty stoked arriving in Vienna in the afternoon of Friday the 13th.  yep, wasn’t too impressed with myself after I realized that I had booked myself onto this monster-journey on a Friday the 13th, especially after having been on a rather unlucky patch lately anyway…  and having just survived a rather heavy car crash, flying on friday the 13th was perhaps pushing it a bit… only if one is supersticious, though, right Read more ...

Wooooow, ever felt like in a really bad movie guys, do u know that feeling, it isn’t a nice one, yeah…?!

I dont’ really know where 2 start this story, could write a novel here…. mh, I reckon best, where I left u off with a few weeks ago…

So, the past 6 weeks I spent on hardcore wave-training in the outback of W.A.  I had  THE best waves of my life, some serious swells brought cranking conditions and I had time to test my brandnew 2010 North gear extensively in very challenging conditions. the verdict is simple:  The North Rebel 2010 as well as the 2010 Kontact waveboard are  T H E  best pieces of kitegear that I’ve ever had the pleasure of riding in my 8 year career as kite-pro -  S I C K !!!   Detailed reports on the North 2010 kites + boards will be posted in my blog over the next week, thus: stay tuned ! Read more ...

For the next few weeks, I will be on hardcore wave-training at some very special place, far away from civilisation and thus also out-of-internet-coverage, thus I’m already apologzing here in advance that my blog-section won’t be updated regularily…. yep, sorry folks, however, sometimes even a kite-pro is ’out-of-the-office’  …

I would already like to thank u in advance for ur understanding guys and promise I will make up for it.  Keep checking kiteboarding magazines in the meantime, I have some sick features about to be published that you surely will be loving Read more ...
