PKRA Event St. Peter Ording, Germany

Finally a windy day. After 5 days without action for the freestyler we got some wind to start
the single elimination. My first heat was against another LF-Rider Marlene Rapp from Sweden.


The conditions were not easy, the wind was going up and down all the time. I stayed on
my nine and Marlene changed to 7. I had a lot of power in the kite but as soon as I left the water was the power gone.........I crashed my back to blind and was almost not able to relounge my kite and then I had to body drag back to my board and the time was over. I really thought that I was loosing the heat because I didn't perform that good but I won and I am very happy about it. A storm kicked in and we had to wait until the next day.


My next heat was then agains Bruna, which I lost..... :-)
It was a very windy day and the water was choppy and the current was very strong. 
After the singles we went straight to the doubles. My opponent was Kristine Boese,
I tried my best in these conditions but I lost and the competition was finish for me but
I am happy with my performance.


Congratulations to Youri Zoon and Gisela Pulido the Freestyle World Champions 2011.

Day 1/2 at the PKRA Event in St. Peter Ording (Germany)

I am in St. Peter Ording since a few Day to attend my first PKRA Worldtour Contest. 
We were 16 girls and we hat to do trails to enter to the main Event.  My Heat
was very good and I am very happy that I won it. 

The forecast for the next days looks pretty bad for freestyle but I am sure
that we will get some wind next week.

Swiss National Day, August 1st

It was very nice to be at home for a while, to spend some time with my family and Friends and to see the Fireworks on the Lake of Biel to celebrate the founding of the Swiss Confederation in 1291.






But now is time to kite again, my rip is healed and I am ready for new crashes ;-)
The Plan is to drive to Denmark for two weeks and then to go to St. Peter Ording for the PKRA
and the launch of the new LF 2012 Material. 


I am very exited and I will keep you updated.
