Last week the Kiteboarding.eu Freestyle Classics were held in Podersdorf/ Austria.

This event was totally different from all the events I have seen before. First of all you needed an invitation to participate.

Also the competition was not one on one, instead you were competing in teams of 3 with 6 people in the heat.

The team was made of : 1 Oldschool Men, 1 Newschool Men and 1 Oldschool girl

The forcast for the 5 days did not look too good so they decided to do the whole competition in one day( which was thursday) with very gusty and super light wind. It was difficult for all the riders and not very spectacular since no one could do very high tricks. As well I have to add that my lines are always magicaly twisted. 

Friday the wind did not show up at all so we had plenty of time to do all the adventures which the surfworldcup offered. Starting with Bagjump, Segway, Slackline,.......

For  saturday windguru was saying that it won't be windy so on friday all the riders decided to make party. But suddenly unexpected wind showed up and we could held the doubles in very good conditions and my team with Paulino and Peter, won the first heat!!

Thanks to Royal Kiteboarding Team for the invitation and the support!! I had an awesome 5 days

Aloha
