You know the feeling, waking up and unbendingly wanna do one special thing?
I knew this with windsurfing!
But as a 15 year old Berlin City-girl was one question...where?
I started searching for a place along several lakes in and around Berlin. With success!
Finally I got my first lesson and an impression what it could mean to windsurf.
Easy going, light wind, flat water, summer, everything worked well.
A new passion was born!

During my January stopover at home in Germany I found these pic´s in old photo albums and had a flashback into long ago times :-).
If I was not at school, I was here.A lake at a corner of Berlin called Grünau.
Because it makes more sense to me being on the water than visiting school, it was quite normal that two of my teachers, who have been worried about me, waited at the bank of the lake to take me back to school.
By the way, big thanks to them! Their behavior made it possible for me receiving the sheat of paper with scores, which you call "Certificate of qualification for university matriculation". :-)
Finally 18!
First Sail, first Board, first car.
First trip to the Baltic Sea.
The circumstances forcing me to study in the middle of Germany with a small variety of lakes.
A time, I could not improve much on the water but the desire was inside.
However, as a student you have semester break...good luck!
Got a VAN and started to discover south of France, make my first highwind experiences and additionally a new passion starts growing up:
TRAVELING by car! Being where I want to be, just being free. I still love it!

| Leucate-France |
Next step: Atlatic Ocean...after France comes Spain...
Waterstart, wavy conditions, surfers community...Ocean! "My place to be, the way to BE!" I said to myself. With these impression I couldn`t stop to interupt the innermost feeling to come closer to that magically meterial. And so it goes on and on...
Tomorrow I´ll be back in the water!
Good by Germany! :-)
