Istanbul turkey

After a short stop in vienna and lake neusiedl, where we were kiting for 2 days we are now in istanbul - turkey.

for both of us it´s the first time at the black sea and we were suprised about the big waves they have here. and the best was that a lot of people told us that there is no wind at this spot, but the day we arrived, the wind was nice to practise. the first day of competition - the same, nice wind. we finished the singles and started the doubles in the afternoon. the conditions where hard for us because of the on shore wind and shore brake...but we managed to do some tricks in our heats. in the end celine got 7th and carina 9th.

the racing was held two days after we had no wind. the conditions were pretty rough with gusty wind and huge waves- carina got 7th and celine 8th.

the days we had no wind we went to instanbul to visit the city and get some cultural impressions of turkey, like eating kebap and visiting mosques :-) .

on saturday we go back home to egypt, to practise some new moves for the next tourstop in brazil!

Lago di como - Italy

We were happy to be back on the road with our VW bus ! we missed it...
after practicing one day at lake Silvaplana, Celines homespot, and celebrating her birthday we took off to italy.
the location is great and we feel like at home, because of the mountains and the lake. we parked our car right next to the frechys, which was probably not the best idea because they are the KPWT party tigers... but - we´ll see :-)

During the week there was no wind. Friday the wind suddenly picked up. So we were able to do freestyle and race.

After this event the overall ranking looks GOOD, Carina is 5th - Celine 6th

Now the boardbag and suitcases get packed again and we fly to Istanbul - Turkey

KPWT Greece 2nd part

After one week of vacation and training in paros we were ready for the competition. The forecast was looking good for the whole week .
First day- freestyle single elimination. Carina was riding against the current worldchampion, Kristin Böse and Celine against Marine Sudre . We were nervous but ready to kick some a***** :-)-so we did. Next round we had to compete against each other, what we don´t like, because one of us will always loose. But unfortunately this is also part of it. So we went out and tried to make our best. Carina was unlucky because after crashing her railey to blind she could not find her board. Celine made it to the final and Carina to the semi final. We both had good opponent in the finals and lost. The double elimination took part the 3rd day. So at the end Celine got 3rd and Carina 5th. Yeaaaaa :-) so stoked
