I had ten great days at this years worldcup at my homespot. After I managed to win in the trials, I had to go against brazilian rider Reno Romeu in the single elimination which I lost. A few days later the double elimination started. There I had a much stronger competitor and I wasn’t able to beat Tom Hebert. My goal was to get threw this big trials, everything else would have been a bonus to me. So I’m happy about my result and the 25th place in freestyle at the worldcup. Also I met cool people at the event and had fun with my sponsors.

On saturday I took the Kite Wave Board of my Sponsor Brunotti to do a downwinder in the waves. We had bad luck with the wind because it dropped in the middle of the trip and we had to wait for a while to continue. I used the 5’5″ Board and it has been awesome. As I got back to the event I ordered one. You’ll see me on a waveboard in the future when the conditions are suitable for that. Maybe I will do a trip to denmark in fall to get some cleaner waves than at home.

The next three weeks I will be full on with training freestyle every windy day for the next and last tourstop of the german tour. After that I’m waiting for some strong winds for the stormriders cup I’m registered to and I will keep on filming and editing for my next video. Now have a look on some pics of the downwinder which I took with the Pentax cam I borrowed at the event.
