BIG AIR WORLD CHAMPION 2016

One winter we went on a snowboarding trip to Bormio (ITA). As we passed Lake Resia there were some guys with strange colorful things in the air pulling them over the frozen,  snowy lake. I knew immediately, this was what I wanted to do – to use the wind to rush over snow, or as I realized later, also over water! But I was a poor student, I had to wait a few years before I could afford to buy my first kite on Ebay as a xmas-present to myself.

I watched some videos about the basics of kiteboarding, went out on a snowy field and tried it out! I have to say, I was really talented and could steer the kite immediately. Before the summer season, I organized a kiteboard and continued to struggle in the water. It took a long time before I could ride more than 10 meters. Later I realized that an old C-shape kite in combination with a 127 cm freestyle board was not a suitable equipment for a beginner. You can imagine how happy I was after my first ride, over 200 m to the other side of the bay, and I was even able to come back! Thanks to the easy conditions in Greece.

After finishing my studies I wanted to take a timeout. The best possibility to afford a long vacation and to live my hobby was to become a kitesurfing instructor. I obviously did very well at the VDWS instructor course so I got some good job offers. I was able to travel to Egypt for three and half months where my riding skills improved a lot. In Hamata we had wind almost every day, I had a lot of fun teaching people and there was still plenty of time for myself to spend on the water.

After returning to Austria, I worked as a kitesurfing instructor in Podersdorf at Lake Neusiedler. I loved my job, escaping the big city life and enjoying the summer beach life at the lake. Meanwhile I set up my own business and become distributor for some well-known brands in the kite industry in our region!

After the season, my instructor career continued in Egypt, Brazil and Egypt again. Kite Village Hamata became my favorite teaching spot.
