Award for the “Rookie of Mondial Du Vent”

I had a great time in Leucate (France), where the second Event of the PKRA World Tour took place during the last week.

It was a little bit colder then in Morocco but we were lucky with the weather we hadn't too much rain and it was mostly dry and sunny.

The conditions were very hard, the wind was so strong and gusty, it wasn't easy to compete. Thats why I am very happy that I was able to continue my solid riding.

My first Heat in the Singles was against the strong rider Bruna Kajiya, which I have lost. But with the win against the French Girls Celine Rodenas and Clementine Bonzom in the Doubles, I made it again under the Top 5.

Furthermore, I got the award for the “Rookie of Mondial Du Vent”, which was a very nice surprise.

Single eliminations in Leucate, France

Its very windy here in Leucate and the wind is very gusty, very hard conditions.

I was on the water with my 5 Nirvana and 20m lines and I was still overpowered.

I've lost against Bruna Kajiya (2nd after the Singles).

I am on rank 7 until now and I hope that I can move up in the Double eliminations, which are

hopefully tomorrow. You can follow my Heat in the Doubles online;

First Days in Dakhla at the first PKRA Word tour Event

We finished the singles yesterday and I still cant believe that I was able to win against the World Champion Gisela.

I went for a safe Heat and did first 7 tricks I was 100 % sure that I am going to land them and that they count in the new judging system (12 attempts, 7 best count but from them only 2 can be from the same family)

I finished 4th in the Singles and I am looking forward to the Doubles.

Wish me luck

Interview and more from Hamata in the kite magazine

I am back home from Maui, where I had an amazing time.

I love this Island and if you haven't been there you have to go, it is a must :-)

On my train journey from Munich back home to Switzerland, I had a lot of time to read my interview and the rest of the Coverage in the new issue of the kite magazine, see below.

I am happy that we had such good conditions in Hamata in January, that we were able to take pictures from different moves, like the Back roll in the new issue.

Remember, it does not matter in what stage of kiting you are, try in each session to improve and be motivated to learn, because the feeling when you are finally able to do what you were training for is beyond words.......
