Tell us about your quiver.
The quiver i'm riding are the best kites in the world, the new Fuel 2007...During last summer i have been working together with Tony Logosz, Slingshots kite-designer. He came up with good proto-types were i helped with the tuning of it, what came out that was exactly the kite i need...It's super smooth, i always know where my kite is...Gives me a good range, we improved this for sure big time if you're comparing it with the 06 Fuel... And my board is the Brunotti Pro-x, custom made to my personal riding style...

Any contest results we should know about?
I had some good results in the past, ended up 2nd overall in the 2005 PKRA world tour...Won a couple of the events during that year!! Results got interrupted by an ankle injury, but after all i came back and kicked some ass in PKRA Tarifa, Spain...I got 4th in the Freestyle and won the best-trick competition!! Competitions are fun, but if you really want to judge me?! Come look at a freeride session and see yourself what's really going on!!

What about sponsors?
Slingshot, Red Bull, Mystic, Qmagic, Brunotti

What's on your iPod:
On my i-pod you can find a lot of different music but most of it is the nice techno / minimal tunes that i love to listen!! The songs are live sets from Dj's mostly they're over an hour long and they totally drag me into this vibe i like...It's really nice for in the plane, kills time... Dj's like: Tiga, Dr. Lektroluv, Frank Kvitta, Rush, Alexander Kowalski, Karotte and many many more... Also there can be found music like everyone has: Jack, Donavon, Green Day, Faithless, Coldplay, Xavier Rudd, Alien ant Farm, Pennywise, NERD and much more... Hahaha music is what keeps me going on the road!! Got to love it...

So what do you do when you're not kiteboarding?
When i'm not kiting i spend a lot of time on the internet keeping in touch with friends, doing work, email and stuff!! Or i'm just chilling and hanging with some friends or my i-pod!! All good...Life's mellow!!

Any parting words of wisdom?
What has to happen will happen... Kite hard and live life hard...Enjoy!!!!!!!!
