Kontrollbesuch...

eineWoche Genesungszeit, das Ergebnis:

Als mir im July mitgeteilt wurde, dass ich Besuch von meinen Eltern zu Weihnachten und Sylvester bekomme, machte sich eine kurze Panik in mir breit...
Nach einem Jahr immer noch im Bus lebend(der mehr und mehr kaputt geht), immer noch keinen vernünftigen Job am Start und keinen Schwiegersohn zum vorstellen, ist der Traum von der gesellschaftlich angesehenen Tochter wohl endgültig geplatzt...

Als Mitverantwortliche für meinen Lebensstil, blieb ihnen nichts anderes übrig, als zwei Wochen an meinem Leben teil zu nehmen...
...and we had a wonderfull time!

Weihnachten...ein Windsurfkalender!! Wooaaw

was ist schon weihnachten?

die Feier...zu Hause in Familie..

bed rest

Once my medical Professor taught me not to do sport while having a cold. Already two times in my life I did not pay any attention to it and went on windsurfing. The result: I ended up both times with a heavy pneumonia. These days I am ill again...today is the 6th day...and right now here at Fuerte are some grandiose conditions for a spot I approach myself now one year long. Being prepared and looking forward to ride some waves down the line there, I have to decide now: I am out!...waiting for the next chance.
Spending my day in front of the computer and take a look from time to time at my homespot...

...I wish good sessions to all my windsurfing friends ;-)

See you next time!

only surfing...

No wind but waves. So I went more for surfing and catched my last wonderfull waves at the end of the wintertime here at Fuerteventura. After one year of surfing now, I´m proud to present you some pics of a very nice session in the south of the island.
One year ago I saw the first real waves in my life and now I am able to surf some of these beauties. Not good but I surf ;-). Since I was 15, I had the dream to spend my life at the ocean and getting used to it. Now after one year and a half having left germany, living in my van and a couple of new friends I met, I realize that my dream is about to come true. Thank you so much for your special support in as well as out of the water to Chris, Patrick, Stephan, Frank and Kai. Aloha

better took the smaller ones...

And now...I am looking forward to a good windseason!!!!!!!!!!

Cotillo´s first embracement

 My session before last I gave a third try to windsurf Cotillo at Fuerteventura. A beachbreak well known for his close outs. But however...I was there, Wind was on and possibly one of the last winter swell hitting the island, I decided to accept the new challenge. A crumbly feeling came over me while thinking about my old mast and powerjoint and the fact that I have no money left to buy new stuff in the case I break it...



...and this happens if wind drops down and you think too much!

After swimming a while I got my stuff back expecting it destroyed, I was happy to see that I can go on windsurfing. With the next try I came behind the Impact zone and it followed a session without further interruption but therefor with lots of new perceptions about timing and active surfing.

Thank you Patrick Mazur for coaching me this day and Maksim Grigori for catching this moment from another point of view ;-)

North Shore Impressions

The last month of my winterbreak I spended in my van only to surf and windsurf, before I finally started to work now again. At the beginning my Notbook died, that I really could enjoy the trip ;-) Sorry Mum and Dad for not being achievable. Now at the end...my car was about to die...but I am achievable again! Make now my experiences as a surfinstructor in La Pared and work on to present you more about my latly surf and windsurf sessions. I loved them all...thx to all my friends with I could share these wonderfull moments!

North Shore flooding by plastics

after one hour work at Punta Blanca

Toward over a week of windsurfing, I´m really tired now! Good luck that the wind is off now and a softly swell hitting the west coast of Fuerteventura. A great time to surf again and explore the reefs of the North Shore. But is so hard to see all the wast around the coast line, it is flooded.
Some people ask me, what I´m doing if I do not surf or work for money...
One option is: to WORK FOR THE OCEAN my friends! And maybe I´ve already removed some wast of you too ;-). Reducing Plastics starts in the supermarket every day!!! I´m not the best ideal with surfing and windsurfing equipment, I know. But you can be sure I´m gonna recycle my stuff or repair it before buying new ones!
