I’m stoked, perhaps my favorite of all favorite wave shots\u00a0can be found on the opening page of the current issue of Kiteboarding.de magazine, nice \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 !<\/p>\n
I remember this session oh so well and certainly always will as it was pretty much the ‘final’ and actually ‘biggest’ session of all in\u00a05 absolutely perfect months in Western Australia last winter.\u00a0 It was a late April day and Margaret River had already been deserted by most visiting wind- and kitesurfers. A grey day, with a front passing by, wind gusting up 35 knots +, rain, grey, cold, pretty scary in fact.\u00a0 I was the only one out with another local windsurfer.\u00a0 The wind was suuuuuuper dodgy and highly unreliable due to the clouds and storm passing by…<\/p>\n
Nevertheless I\u00a0 h a d\u00a0 to go out.\u00a0\u00a0Back then I was dreading the return to Europe, I simply had sooooo much fun in W.A., so many good friends, so many insane spots, swell, joy, darmn, life was simply perfect \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0 Clear that I had to make the most of my last days and some dodgy gusts could not stop me.\u00a0 I was on my Rebel baby 7m2 with short lines and still way overpowered at times then again in between: NADA.<\/p>\n
I enjoyed the session a lot and\u00a0had some sick waves, however, decided that it was perhaps better to leave the water when I spotted a massive fin when I was way out gathering hight that I had lost ripping this crazy autumn swell and just about to turn back in.<\/p>\n
Funnily enough also the windsurfer, a hardcore local with dreads to the bum, also he came in. When I asked him why he stopped his session he said:\u00a0 “well, mh, I saw the biggest fin that I’ve ever had spotted out there…”<\/p>\n
Thanx 2 my mate Karl Leavy, a\u00a0photographer of a big Australian Newspaper, who watched me from the carpark above and who was gunned with his big lense, I have this super cool shot as a lifelong memory to perhaps the best trip in my life so far.<\/p>\n
