hey guys,
i know you have winter in OZ right now, but i guess you never see something like this in Winter ;)
That is what we call winter in Germany :) Hope you enjoy.
cheers , christian
That would be like kiting in ya jocks in our winter.
Looks like a bit of ice building on the chickenloop / safety in a few shots, any safety issues with that Christian?
I loved how you were putting snow instead of sand on the kite to hold it down on the beach?
That says everything. You guys are made of harder stuff! Ooh that body drag through the slush...brain freeeeeeze....
@eppo: thanks mate... it was really frosty at that day... when i put the snow on my kite it was like standing in a big caipirinha crushed ice sea...
one time i try to dive in the slush..... that gave me a real brainfreeeeeeze ![]()
@airjunkie: thanks dude, but i am looking forward to move down under in november... can not wait , i am so exited ![]()
How was the water today?
"Oh a bit hard"
Thats hardcore, the crashes look particularly gruelling brrrrrr!
Nice video ....snow kiting and kite surfing all in the same sesh....nice one.....I cant kite in water any colder than Perths water which aint that cold.I would have gone the snow kite!
I'm surprised there aren't any beached whales desperately trying to get out of that oversize slushy?? ![]()
yo guys, this takes be back i was an army clearance diver in kiel in the mid 80s, i thought it was cold in hameln working on and in the river weser but kiel was insane, bad memories of breaking ice before we could get in the water,bad head freeze practicing mask off drills, and tasks on the bottom of the sea bed without mitts, we,d cut our hands pretty bad and not realise till we got to the surface, dont know what was worse the cold or the stench of piss from our well used dry suits, i used to drink about 8 cuppas knowing id have a supply of warm piss for my drysuit, aaargh it was blisss, if you guys come to the west of aus id be keen to catch up and have a couple of beers, had some fun times supping on your local brews with the locals,
Thank all of you for your positive feedback...
We can not go of season here in germany , we are kitesurfing the whole year... you just need a good wetsuit and balls of steel ![]()
@cauncy: thank you for your invitation... for sure we come a long when we are down under :)
@all: would be nice to meet up at the first time when we are down under for meeting new people and hanging around :)

He mate!
Are you going to be staying in Perth? Coming over in November hey? Hopefully the season will start in November again like it did last year!
When your here, drop us a line. Show you around the place.
About now somebody usually chimes in about backing one out in the dunes and short tacking at the pond![]()
Here's also a little impression of our winters.
Have a look at the bar and the QR at the end of the vid.
Crazy! You boys are going to love WA! Had our first sea breeze of the season yesterday.... 14 to 20 at point Moore in Gero out in boardies and a top.
@Akwa: we are going to perth in november... When the seabreeze already starts in November we will stay maybe one week or two.... otherwise we head up north to hedland and down the coast back to perth... where we will stay a longer period around x-mas and new years eve... will give you a shout when we arrive down under :) thanks for your offer!!
@wdric: maybe you are right , but we are no "bad euros" that come to destroy your sport ;) i know you all hate us euros... sometimes we are nicer then you think :P by the way , had a perfect bordie sesh yesterday here in germany ;)

That looks like a fun place to ride, apart from the temperature! How long can you ride before your control bar freezes up?. If I was you I would riding without a donkey dick so I could release if things went wrong.

You were lucky. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down at the mill, and pay the mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."
Seriously though, there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. I'm not sure which this falls into
what I don't understand is....
in a land of awesome beer, where the freakiest most debased porn is considered the norm
sorry..., porn and beer
I forgot what my point was going to be...
To put this into perspective I'm a thoroughly acclimatised QLDer. I won't venture into water less than 20 degrees C even with a wettie.
