Thanks to Karl Anderson teaching me the essentials of cross country skiing in skating style! I learnt fancy things like the V1, V2 and V2 alternate, but decided eventually for myself I’m most happy with my V10 sport!
Thanks to Kirti Walpole organizing that stunning beautiful day!
Pictures by Jen Johnson. Thanks!
Thank you, Karel, for sending me the weather messages on my sat-phone all those long eleven months of my OZ trip, plus previously already on my Iceland and New Zealand circumnavigation! It was invaluable and probably even life-saving at times!
I presented you my silver kayak I had on my neck all the way around Australia. You deserve it on yours now! Please keep it close!
Thanks, Karel! You are a great friend!

I’ll be joinig the
Terra Santa Kayak Symposium in Israel
from January 8th to 16th as a guest speaker and teacher.
Thanks, Omer, Saggi and Karel, for inviting me!
I’m looking forward to meet my “weather man” Karel Vissel for the first time in person! Thanks very much, Karel, for your great reliable work on my Iceland, New Zealand and Australian trip!
Talk about going to the freezer from the frying pan. A few days after I returned home from warm and sunny
Jann Engstad from Lofoten Aktiv was kind enough to invite me to lead a rolling clinic as well as do a slideshow about my recent circumnavigation of New Zealand’s South Island.
When I thought of paddling a surf ski in America’s 50th state a bunch of images came to mind: warm water – BIG surf – rough water – sunshine – hardcore watermen and women — so even though I have none of the above on my doorstep in Germany, I figured that it would be exciting to join the Epic Molokai World Championships Surfski 2008. After all I’d had a great time at my first surfski race in Puerto Rico!
Two by two kayaks – two epic’s, two NDK’s, two Rockpool’s, two Waterfield’s – one 3-pieces Explorer is allowed to travel inside!
…or better "On the water again" soon!
Can’t wait to hit some rough stuff , as my place had mostly flatish water only to offer. And I need MORE TRAINIG!
I’ll teach at the Anglesey Sea Kayak Symposium until Monday 5th,
