Kayaking

Hometown
Munich, Germany

When did you start the sport, how and with who?
I started the sport in 1996. Originally i used to paddle on lakes for endurance training in the summer as i used to compete in cross country skiing. After a friend of the family took me and my dad on a river i got hooked with the sport immediately. 

Most memorable moment in your sport?
I love big waves, therefore each surf on waves like Bus Eater (Canada), La Malate or Hawaii Sur Rhone (France) is like a gift for me. Besides i'll never forget the travels to remote faraway places like the Asahan River in Sumatra or the Jordan River in Israel and therefore will always be on the lookout for new travel destinations

Where's your favourite place in the world?
Everywhere where there is a big wave!

Whats your training regime?
Go hard and have fun as often as possible.

Advice for others?
Try the sport, as i've tried most of the sports around and its my favourite! If you get into it, don't save on equipment as it can save your life and just staying dry and warm prolongs the fun on the water a lot!
