Guys, apologies for the delayed news but unfortunately the last two months were pretty tough…everything just came so differently than I was hoping for…ok then, well, I hopped onto the plane in Austria mid October to get away from the cold .. my destination: sunny, warm Brazil for the PKRA Worldcup final.<\/p>\n
The first two weeks were siiiick!! Kite kite kite kite…yeah, all day every day, Brasil really is kiter’s paradise!! The wind was strong, just the way I like it and my new Rhino5 9 sqm took me into new dimensions ? !!<\/p>\n
But the pleasure didn’t last for too long…yep, unfortunately only two weeks after my arrival during a major ‘hard-core airpass training session’ … ‘baaang’ … I badly overstretched the rhomboid muscle in my shoulder – that’s the muscle which holds the shoulder blade in place, responsible for pulling and pushing, so ‘quite’ an essential one for kitesurfing !? – and I had to have a break of 4 (!!!) weeks…can you believe it ? .. a 4 week break in paradise..?? …quite a ‘toughie’ I tell ya !!<\/p>\n
Unfortunately due to this injury, I couldn’t compete in the Worldcup final either…which was a real bummer as I was ready for it, I felt strong and well prepared and I really would have liked to kick ass !! I was still there, though, in Beach Park and it was still fun seeing everyone, the whole ‘Worldcup family’ … I just wished sooo much to be competing…<\/p>\n
Congratulations to the new World Champions: Aaron Hadlow in the men’s and my team mate Cindy Mosey in the women’s. Well done guys !!<\/p>\n
Shortly after the event was finished, my doctor gave me the o.k. and I finally could get back in the water ? … soooo goooood !! and yeah, just in time, for some filming with ‘Stance’-Mag for their newest DVD … stoked and proud being part of it!! Read more about the whole project in the ‘Stance-DVD’-Update…check it out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
