South island dream

Wow, the last 3 weeks since I arrived in this paradise New Zealand have passed so, soooo quickly and my tour around the south island is just about to come to an end    sad about the fact that I can’t spend more time here, cause the south island is simply s t u n n i n g, however, a kite-pro’s gotta do what a pro’s gotta do and that is:  to follow the wind & waves   and hey, better than being sad about leaving is  h o w  stoked I am about experiences, new friendships, impressions that I’ve been privileged of living over the past 3 weeks, right   

Plus:  now I’m hitting the north island and that’s gonna be highly exciting as well…yeah, yeah, yeah, can’t wait actually to finally check out wave-heavens taranaki, raglan and many more spots as well as to hook up with my team-mates Marc Jacobs (multiple New zealand Champion) and Kelby Bright around the west coast of the north island.

As a last ‘tourist-must-2′ and ‘farewell 2 the south island’ I did a beautiful kayak-trip in the famous Abel Tasman National Park, sweet

Gotta hop onto the ferry tomorrow veeeeery early (6:30) and still have to drive about 3 hours to the ferry terminal, thus gotta hit the sack now but will keep u updated (sporadically, sorry guys but it’s so hard to find internet along the road in a campervan….in fact, the biggest problem is: that I can’t work on my computer in my van as I can’t recharge the battery on my laptop..!? thus as soon as I get into stuff on the computer, bang…game over, no more power..!?).

Catch ya later!
