]]> Truthfully, as exciting as 2024 was, with some incredible sessions, adventures and unforgettable moments, it’s been one of the mentally most challenging years as well. Lots went down in my circle of dearest and closest, which of course, had its toll on me, my happiness and inner peace.

But through it all, I’ve learned, adapted, and grown stronger. Every obstacle I’ve faced has brought new insights and a deeper sense of resilience. As I welcome the new year, I’m carrying those lessons with me, ready to face whatever comes next with courage and hope. Here’s to embracing life’s challenges and turning them into opportunities for growth in 2025!

In this spirit, wishing you all a year filled with strength, growth, and the courage to face whatever comes your way and most of all, lots of love & crazy unforgettable adventures —— Happy New Year!

]]> All my life I’ve been dreaming of cruising around on a sailboat. And ever since I started surfing and wave kiting nearly two decades ago, this dream turned into “…cruising around on a sailboat in the “South Pacific” for very obvious reasons: Warm water, tropical temperatures, glassy conditions and some of the best waves in the world 🏄‍♀️🌊🏝🌺

Well, and I’m living this dream right now !!! 😝💃

I’m in Fiji on one of the most beautiful sailing boats I’ve ever seen: a rebuilt 80ft Whitbread Round the World Sailing Yacht 🤩, the CAMARA ♥⛵

Owned by a family of four (both teenage kids have lived on boats since they were a few hours old!!! So special !!!) who have been sailing and cruising for over 20 years 🙏

It’s suuuuuch a privilege to spend time with them 🥰 and I’ll be forever grateful to the Palmer Family. There’s the two Captains Pete & Christina, and their kids Tara and Cameron (hence the name of the boat: Camara)

So yeah, this is home sweet home for a next few weeks, and I couldn’t be more stoked and excited!!! 💃

In fact, I’m a bit delayed with this post (the ones amongst you following my Insta stories would know that), and I already lived some craaaaazy adventures here surfing, kiting and lots more💨🏄‍♀️🌊😝💥👊

Stay tuned for head over to my Insta Account for super fun stories and more posts about this unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’m living right now on board the CAMARA ⛵🤟

]]> It’s this time of the year… 😉

The ones who know me and my crazy big wave windsurfing, fishing Viking, are well aware that every year when the weather turns crappy in Margaret River, when we’re loading up two 4×4 chock-a-block with all our toys and camping stuff and head up North to our Outback paradise in the middle of nowhere. That’s where the Viking and I set up the Bush Taj Mahal, our epic camp 🙂

Well, that’s where we are right now. Surfing, fishing, kiting, windsurfing… basically living the dream, Yeeeeeeeew!

There’s always lots going on where the desert meets the sea, so make sure you head over to my Instagram account to get a good taste of desert outback life in West Oz.

By the way, my friend Tony Warrilow took this epic drone shot of me kiting in our paradise 🙂

Enjoy!!

]]> Finally the day is here and I can share with all of you what has been brewing in the making for a fair while 🙂

I’m super pumped to present to you “The Art of Adapting”, my personal chapter in the “Write Your Own Chapter” Web Series presented by ION.

“The Art of Adapting” serves as a beautiful reminder that in life, just like in the surf, it’s all about impermanence and constantly adapting to the surge of always changing and unpredictable conditions as they arise. Navigating the ebbs and flows, embracing, and thriving on the continuous change of the colors on our canvas of life with its associated highs and lows, is an adventure in itself. 

Treat yourself and watch the episode in a relaxed moment.

Seek your Freedom and #writeyourownchapter

Enjoy, I hope you like it and please do send me your feedback, I’d love to hear from you 🙂

Biiiiig kangaroo hugs,

The article is about a recent explorer road trip to the north west of my home state, WA.

A trip for the ages, with highlights that reached way beyond some epic kite sessions. Mother Nature treated me to some phenomenal spectacles that not even a millionaire could “book” or pay for. It’s all about being in the right place at the right time, good karma and the universe aligning 🙂

Read the story in German right here guys, enjoy & keep the stoke alive!

A dingo paw is waving at youse from over here 😉
