Since I was a little boy my father teached me in how to fly a kite. After some training on 2-line & 4-line kites is was introduced into the buggy kiting by Peter Rieleit, a famous kite shop owner in Düsseldorf. I was making big advantages and heading up my first racing contest in 2005. I started making my first steps on a kitelandboard. I quickly recognized that this was the sport I was looking for.
