Interacting with the elements is my profession. As globetrotting freerider I’m privileged to have the Ocean as\u00a0my office! However, the sea and waves mean way more to me:\u00a0 Life-force and Philosophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over the 7 years in my career as kite-pro the Ocean became the most important energy & element in my life: \u201cTo become one with the elements, to imbibe the incredible energy of Mother Nature without taking anything away from her, the \u2018Mana of the Ocean\u2019, an infinite force and abundance of wisdom that teaches us about life (\u2026if we\u2019d only listened!) and the wave-like nature of our existence\u201d.<\/p>\n
Yes, I interpret the ocean as symbol of life\u00a0 –\u00a0\u00a0 its peaks and troughs, its sets and lulls, the tide\u2019s ebb and flow just like our daily being.\u00a0 \u201cNothing in life can be forced, you have to wait for your wave patiently, there is a time for everything to happen, get in touch with the pulse of the planet instinctively, be fully present in the moment and enjoy the ride when your wave comes\u2026<\/p>\n
In this feature as part of my column “Kite & the Planet” in the German kiteboarding magazine Kiteboarding.de I would like to share my personal life-philosophy. Mind you, it’s only a super brief intro to it, I could (and\u00a0 w i l l\u00a0 eventually) write a whole book on the incredible wisdom & energy of our Planet’s Oceans!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
