Summer in Germany

Matthias — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:10:03 +0000

The summer over here in Germany was super hot but started very late. Due to the heat we hardly had any wind. In my spare time while waiting for wind i was reading books from Eckhart Tolle. His new book A New Earth really is mindblowing and i highly recommend it to anyone thats interested in spirituality!

Finally now that it gets so cold, it almost feels like winter, we have some wind! …and we chased it! Last weekend we followed the wind from the island of Fehmarn on the east coast all the way to Sylt. Its such a beautiful island on Germanys westcoast and there we were lucky for two consecutive days riding two downwinders of like 12km each:-) Here are some pics from my helmet cam and some taken in Capetown. Cant wait to get some video footage on downwinders in Capetown! Soon i will be riding the waves in Africa again…cant wait Ride hard and enjoy every minute and see you on the water.

Magical Moments in Capetown

After 6 months of an amazing time in Southafrica i am back in Germany now for a while.

I uploaded a folder with some nature/landscapes shots i took this season.

Will get a bigger camera and be more creative in this direction. Mother Nature is just the most beautiful of all isn´t she?

Technology in our hands

Matthias — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 14:49:55 +0000

Hi everybody! I always wonder what possibilties exist with technology today, that most people dont know about. Examples being geothermal energy, metals with memory effect or solar cells integrated in your windows at home etc.

I recently got this small waterproof HD Cam that I attach onto my board or kitelines to take amazing HD Videos and interval pictures! Imagine everybody would be working on creative ideas and technologies that would make this world better for all of us.

Southafrica 2010 Trailer

Matthias — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 09:27:05 +0000

Hey everybody, just finished the trailer for my new Southafrica Video. We are still busy filming and looking for big waves and some good flatwater spots for wakestyle.

Thanks to DJ Piele for the music and Sylvester and Robyn-Lee for filming, hope you enjoy it. Peace!

Wakestyle again!

Matthias — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:50:22 +0000

Here in Capetown when its blown out and there are no waves i finally started to ride my Twintip again now Its cool to do tricks again and challenge myself to do my handlepasses. In the first session we already took some video. It has been more than 6 months i have been taking a break of it, but now my knee is heeled and i am loving it to get some adrenaline pumping again in the wakestyle sessions.

The tricks come back easier than i thought. Remember…its all in the mind! I will upload a trailer of my new Southafrica movie the next days! Peace and love!

Strapless Wave Pics online

Matthias — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:31:58 +0000

Hi guys! Here you go with some new pics taken here in Capetown by Robyn-Lee. Just go to the Photo Gallery and scroll through them. We had lots of nice waves and good wind, i was out strapless almost all the time to make the recovery of my knee easier and not get twisted again.

Recently we had some bigger waves and we had to jump pretty high to get over them and ride out so i put my straps on sometimes. Its like another sport and so much fun to use a surfboard with the kite. Go try it out, you will have lots of fun once you get it. Enjoy every day and love life every minute!

Birthday in Africa- thanks for all your lovely wishes!
