A few days are left

Traveling No Comments »

11 days are left to my return flight. According to the question if I am looking forward? Well, it’s so nice here.
Last week we got a nice day with really good conditions and I was totally alone at the most awesome flatwaterspot and could kite and practise a few tricks. Fortunately, after so long and it was neccesary for my self-confidence, as I’d thought that I forgot everything. What I actually did, but a couple of things still worked. But as said, it was just one day. On the whole I feel perfectly prepaired for the Trophy and will climb on the winner’s rostrum. Sure thing.
Besides, I have found the best wave in Perth. Why not earlier. Anyway, I’ve been paddleing against waves, currents and locals for about a week now. They know excactly how to defend their territory. If you don’t get the first wave, you hardly have a chance to play with them. I have fun though. Although the best waves break over a reef, but fortunately the reef is not that sharp.
What’s new as well: Today my whole house and I go on a trip to Margaret River again for the weekend. As been said, it is too nice down there. A last trip for me out of Perth. To feel the big waves and distances and wave with a tissue for the very last time.
But there are things you can look forward. Aside of the new Psycho IV, the new boardies by Schwerelosigkite and warm winds, I’m looking forward to see my family again, although it’ll take a couple of weeks to find a date we all can come together. Btw: I’d like to link my brother’s website as he does an awesome job.
So long, you’ll find me beneeth or above a wave before I’ll slop to you.

Cobbler is when you are still able to laugh

General No Comments »

What is an Australian Adventure without being stung by a poison animal? Exactly - That’s why I was stung by a Cobbler in my right foot last wednesday. A Cobbler is a sort of catfish living close to seaweed and has a poison sting somewhere at its head. The impact of such a meeting is: extreme pain, which goes up to your hip. A foot which swells that you wanna cut it off. And you get morphines at hospital to relief the pain. That´s the only thing that really helps besides putting your foot into hot water to demolish the protein chaines of the poison. That´s fun!
Meanwhile four days have passed since the sneaky attack. My foot has massive blisters and to walk is still a torture. I´m curious what´ll happen. It´s a shame that we´ve got wind today. But my foot does not fit into the strap-pad-combi.
The ironie of the story is, that a couple of days before it happened I´d read in the local papers that there haven´t been caught any Cobbler for the last 10 years.
