home again!

after a long, stressful season, it's always nice to get back 'home' to karpathos, a small island in the very south of the greek aegean sea. once again, it was a big contrast after the kaunertal glacier lake experience to get to the salty & warm waters of afiartis. :)


being my second home, i try to spend as many time as possible down there, windsurfing, having delicious greek dinners and just taking a rest. some friends already came down there with us this year and we had the big opening week of the soultravels surf station.

kaunertal...


this week, we had our pleasure week at kaunertal. not too many riders showed up, most of them are still busy filming. nevertheless, we were able to finish some last stuff for next season, including two stick-a-trick features.
highlights for sure were the bowling night (10 guys, no girls... what a sausage fest), the barbecue at our nice appartment and (of course) the waterslide up at the glacier lake.

this was one of
the stick-a-trick ideas for next season and luckily, we could convince young austrian rider thomas feurstein to be our actor... it was more than tricky, as the lake was still half frozen and the consistence of the water was more the one of a slush puppy.


michi of course HAD to try it as well and what can i say: after a bail at his first try he improved from round to round and finally made the whole distance, adding a nice frontside 180 righ before my camera. stoked & big ups, michi!

the footage won't be published before our 2010 spring or summer issue though... sorry folks, be patient ;)

up in the park (which was exceptional good for that time of the year), it was andy lehmann and benny deeg joining us rider-wise... here's some nice backside 180 of andy on the small kickerline:


so long, back for the office desk now, there's some mad editing coming up.
