We managed to escape the virus and enjoyed some DOLCE VITA on Italy’s islands. Sail&Kite along Sardegna’s south coast
(AUG-2020) and kitesurfing in Sicily (OCT-2020).
CAPETOWN
March 2019 - Steffi, Raphi, Musu & Lüg
Back in the mother city after 14 years. A lot has changed since but the cape doctor, waves, cold ocean, braai, biltong and babbelas stayed the same. We had endless fun along Capetown's beautiful
beaches, along the Cape and up in Langebaan.
We visited Mauritius in July 2018 during winter time when the easterly trade winds are blowing quiet steadily sometimes accompanied by a little storm front. The outer waves such as Manawa and One
Eye are phenomenal to ride. Surfing more than 1000m offshore left some mixed feelings and I was always happy to be back at the beach in one piece.
Tarifa October 2017 - Rodi, Double K, Musu and Lüg.
Strong and side offshore levante produced very clean waves just off the beach in Tarifa. What a fun ride ;-))
The locals of Fiji are among the happiest people in the world. A tropical climate, fertile soil, a mostly intact reef, Kava and an Olympic gold medal in Rugby are probably the reasons for this.
We only explored a small part of the island and surfed at Uluwatu, Padang Padang and Keramas Beach.
DoubleK, TheTurtle, Musu, Grimbo, Rodi and Lüg enjoyed the strong winds of the Red Sea (August 2013).
Bullina's first road trip:
Kite- and windsurfing at the beautiful beaches of Italian island Sardegna.
Travelling back to OZ in 2011/12 felt like coming home. Once again; ) following WA's dusty roads to find spectacular conditions for surfing and kitesurfing.
From Sydney to Airlie Beach and back. Tamara and I travelled along the stunning East Coast of Australia. Its relaxed towns and
beautiful surf beaches are in opposite to the vivid atmosphere in Sydney.
We bought two second hand surf boards and really enjoyed being in the water nearly every day. However, we soon found out that surfing is
not something you master in 3 weeks… Challenge accepted: )
A few shoots from an unforgettable snowkite-session here in Switzerland. Tamara & Lüg (winter 2010/2011).
Claudia, Barbara, Tamara and Lüg visited the kite capital of Europe for a short holiday in October 2010. Salud!
In summer 2008 Rodi, Sandru and Lüg visited the kite-mecca Ceará (Brasil) for the first time. We really enjoyed it, had plenty of fun and more wind than we could possibly take: )
In this album you can have a look at a few impressions from the cold season here in Switzerland.
Despite all the deadly creatures that follow you along the way, I went back to OZ for a second time in January/February 2008 and caught up with Tim and Scotty to visit a few kitesurf spots.
Over 1800 m above sea level and in between some great mountains, Silvaplana is an unusual playground for kite- and windsurfing. The so called "Malojawind" spoils the surfers with a fresh breeze every now and then. So have a look at a few shots from up there (Tamara, Grimbo, Beat, Scotty and Lüg).
In 2006 Rodi, Scotty and Lüg discovered very unique spots along the vast and empty West Coast of OZ. After the camper-van was all ready to go, we took off for an unforgettable trip. Unfortunately, we can definitely not recommend you to go there: It is very dry, extremly hot, there are thousands of venomous spiders, poisonous snakes, annoying flies, deadly jellyfish and killer sharks. So, who wants to go there on a holiday?
In 2005/2006 I had the opportunity to work six months as a kitesurf-instructor in Langebaan (South Africa) at www.capesport.co.za. Luckily, there was enough time and wind to kitesurf on my own and to discover all the amazing places around the cape.
Beautiful two-day hike in Engadin with Philipp and Lüg. Great mountains, spectacular views and good weather...
Back in the days (2003), when only crazy people took up kitesurfing and kiting was still considered as an extreme sport!!
Rodi and Lüg got in touch with the kitesurf-lifestyle up at Lake Silvaplana. Please pay attention to the most reliable safety systems ever and of course, the two line kites : )
These few days set the ball rolling and we became totally addicted to this spectacular hobby. Soon, we started planning adventures to some warmer destinations.
