Summed up I have done around…
…4 full years of surfing around the globe: Costa Rica, San Salvador, Nicaragua, Mexico, USA, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Alaska, Tahiti, Tonga, Madagascar, Europe, Ghana, Morocce and more

…29 seasons of snowboarding (by 2014) all over the European Alps, Scandinavia, the Pyrenees, the Caucasus, the Himalaya, New Zealand, the Western US, Canada and a couple of trips to Alaska. Should be close to 3.000 days on my snowboard (-:

… 3 summer crusing Central and Southern Europe as well as the Pyrenees in search for perfect hanggliding conditions.

why snowboarding?

nowhere else can I feel as alive as I do in the moments when I reach my limits on the mountains I love.
