Not so windy summer in Sweden

This summer season I had really hoping for loads of wind, I wanted to practising some old moves and new stuff. And it have been a little bit disappointing, biggest problem have been to match free time with windy days. So it havent been so many days on the water as I thought.

Which have inspired me to train my physics more, I want to be ready for Brazil, so every morning after a run or power walk I train my shoulders and other muscles to reduce the risk of injury and also streching.

Six friends and I had an downwinder session yesterday in gusty wind and it was neither waves or flat water = choppy! A boat followed us out to pick us up, otherwise we would end up in denmark. It was a funny feeling to just kite straight out into the sea with no land in front of you. I would really like to kite straight over to denmark, but now I saving my money for Brazil and have none to pay a boat that would pick me up :)

The first Kitesurf tour Europe is done!

The KTE stop in Poland last weekend was very interesting. Back home in Sweden it was super windy and in Swinoujscie it was also suppose to be windy. First day we got off shore wind that was very gusty, they did my heat three times in that shit hoping for a gust to come. Next day there was suppose to be rain and no wind, but there was a lot of wind and just some rain. They finished the single elimination and did a few races and then they started the double elimination. The wind was dropping and then it was my heat again, and I didn´t do any success in that heat either. So Poland was no hit for me, accept that I met a lot of really nice people to hang out with, got some good contacts now. Nice! Especially when I’m going in a month to Brazil 
Planning to be in Brazil for two months and be back home for Christmas. Then I don’t know what’s going to happen…
In the Kitesurf tour Europe I finished 10th of 28 competitors. Next year I will be in the top 5 at least ;)

Back home after Germany!

I had a really good time in St. Peters-Ording during the Palmolive kitecompetition and I will for sure go back there next year!

I met so much nice people, chilled with the UK guys, kited a lot and my result from the comp was quite good. I came on the 7th place of 16 girls, just after gisela, karolina, bruna, kari, kristin and angela. In the single elimination I pass to the second heat where I met Angela Peral. I had to little power in my kite because the wind dropped during the heat, so I couldnt do so much. In the double elimination I was against Adrien the french girl thats sponsored by cabrinah, and I had a really good heat so I won it. Next heat I was against the famous Kristin Boese, but the wind dropped and I didnt do as good as in the first one so I lost. But Im really happy for my 7th place in this big comp. Its my first one accept the small comps in sweden wheres almost no girls competing, and in Sylt there was no wind for freestyle.

Videos from Palmolive worldcup you will find on http://prokitetour.com/ and Im in day 7 and 8 :)

Also got spons from Underground kiteboards :)

now I need to hurry down to work....

PKRA tour in Germany and I'm on the spot!

It´s monday and there hasnt been so much wind for today so they have done the racing. For tomorrow it looks the same, but during the past two days they have managed to do the guys qualification and the first round in the single elimination for the men. So no riding for us girls yet but the forcast has some wind coming!

I need to say that this is a really good organised event with loads of people involved that doing a nice work and making this to the worlds biggest kite event. Some of the most famous riders are here and a few of them I met in Oz. In my first heat I will meet my dear friend Holly Kennedy (she is doing the whole tour). I really hope theres going to be loads of wind, then I will have the most fun on the water :)

I forgot my camera to, and that sucks. I will ask some friends to send me some pics from this event so I could put up some on my blog.

Last competition in Sylt we had this SUP race and I was third during the race, but in the end I lost balance and fell in so then I had no chance. The last day they had a best trick competition in barely no wind. Nicky Rudd and I won it so I got some price money and a little publicity :)

Back home in Sweden I work to much so I'm really happy that I got a break and could have time for kiting again. Also planning trips with Holly again :)

Take care :)

Kitetour Europe 2010 in Sylt, Germany

The third stop are going off in Sylt (Germany) and as the other two stops, almost no wind. Next weekend there is the fourth stop in Silvaplana (Switzerland) and I dont know if I can go, I want to but have no money and no time, which makes it hard. Last stop is Poland and Im planning to go there. I have met a lot of nice people here and hope I will see them in Poland.

Theres no wind here in Sylt, and the weekend forcast dosent look so good, we hope for wind maybe friday afternoon or saturday. We had some yesterday and the race comp went off for 4 races, but the wind where inconsistent so kites where lying in the water and the jetski went in and out quite often to pick up riders. Kind of chilled day with volleyball and lying in the sun to get some tan ;)

Today theres going to be a SUP race, volleyball playing and more chillin, hard life. Like a training camp without wind :) I have never had this much Ice Tea in my life, its for free just as the food...

more updates will come
