Sylt, GERMANYDate: 19-21 June
We are now really well settled up here in Germany. The camper with everything inside and the most important, the good crew. We are now really well settled up here in Germany. The camper with everything inside and the most important, the good crew. It was a KPWT event when we arrived in Sylt on Friday afternoon. Again we were lucky with weather as the rain just passed, sun came out and on-shore wind was blowing with 25 knots. There were even some good powerful waves, so Niccolo boosted some big airs again, with Gypsy and his Surf. On Saturday we hanged out at the competition site, where Tim, our distributor in Germany had the stand with all Wainman Hawaii gear: new, improved Boss and Smoke (both in black and white colors), 15m Big Mama, 5m Bunny, new bars, Surf boards, etc. It was also time to meet with some old friends working here and there .... Later in the afternoon we were flying Big Mama, as the wind was light. Big Mama just like its name says is very powerful but also incredibly fast (probably all of us remember our Moms appearing sometimes suddenly from nowhere when we were trying to steal some food from the kitchen before the dinner was ready and served :)). I am sure a lot of heavy guys (80kg +) will enjoy Big Mama in light 10-15 knots winds and stronger as well (but only if they can handle Mama in Christmas preparation crazyness :)). So next day on Sunday, our local guy Benny, drove us to a wonderful bay/lake or a puddle I should say, because of the tied, water was getting a pretty rare thing. But it was not enough to stop Niccolo doing tricks and he pulled a couple good ones: backroll to blind, Tantrum backside grabs to blind, doubles s-bend to blind, all of those in 20 cm of water (it’s more fun when you know you land, ahaha). Ok so after the session, we went left Sylt on a funny train platform where our camper was hardly fitting in (why they didn’t build the regular bridge?). Just before that I realized that I don’t have my wallet with money, credit card, driving license – we went back to all places that we were this day but didn’t find it and also we hardly made it on the last train from the island. Anyway I probably lost my wallet when we went to jump illegally on the kid's trampoline before the session. But that’s normal it happens to me all the time, so you see we had a great time here in Germany, you should travel there too some time, it s fun. Today wee arrived in Holland, and maybe wee loose a little bit the contact, but not for long.. Franz |
