The latest Kitelife issue hit the market! In the next issue we talk with Andy Yates, 2010 Worldchampion in freestyle. He gives us some background information about his preparation for the season and why sponsors can be a bit of a hassle. Furthermore we take you into the waves and show you how to surf with a kite. We also take you on the journey to Rodrigues and South Africa.
We check out the new RPM³, Ozone Catalyst, Best Kahoona v3 and Nemesis v3 and the Shinn The Duke.
We also take you behind the scenes and show you the hard life of a teamrider and a shop owner. So there is lots to read and see in the next issue.
There is also a nice editorial pic of me in this issue. Check it out in the coverage section.
I also made a little mix again for those who are interested in some electro music. You might like it.
I was lucky the other day to get some new pictures again. The photographer is Paul Smyth. Thanks for taking the pictures. This time we went to Point Walter as the wind started coming from the east now. It seems that the windy season is over now. It is cloudy more often now and the wind keeps coming from the east. Hopefully the swell picks up a bit. Another Kitelife issue will be published during the next days with some nice stuff in it like travel story to Kenya and Ireland plus an interview with Xavier Rudd. Besides that boardway, the kiteschool I work during summer has made a nice teaser worth watching. There is also a bit of footage of me in it. So check it out.
There is this double page in a kiteboarding magazine of me. Funny enough though because they advertise for some spots around the world. This picture was taken at my homespot in Germany. Apparantely my homespot is the best in the world. Glad that this is offical now :)
Other than that, it’s really nice here in WA still. Yesterday we went to Xavier Rudd. Brilliant as usual and his new band rocks as well. Tomorrow is The Cat Empire on. Obviously I am living a great life at the moment. The swell also has gotten bigger. So surfing is a lot of fun. It is still windy everyday as well and my body is begging me for a break. But no chance. You have to take what you are given and that is perfect conditions at the moment. That’s it so far again.
