The first night we stayed at the Swiss North dealer house (Phillipp Knecht) and had a great Raclette for dinner, a typical Swiss dish with loads of delicious melted cheese coming directly from the farm together with potatoes, meat and some vegetables. )

Saturday was quit a tough day, we went to a sick lake called Walensee , didn’t go to Silvaplana as the forecast was looking bad for the weekend up there.
Once in the lake we had to launch all our kites from  boats, around 10 guys in two small boats, quit a hard job… firstly I jumped into the water to launch a Rebel 12 that someone had prepared earlier and of course the lines weren’t connected in the right way, the kited just went full speed on the other side of the window pulling me out of the water so I had to let it go with the security system in order not to eat the boat… After that the lines from one of the customer somehow went under the boat and the driver didn’t know and started the engine…  after a while trying to cut the lines from the propeller we managed to go back upwind for a little until the engine just turned off…  I love boats!!!
I finally managed to get an other kite, overpowered on a 14m Rebel I could train my Boards off skills.
The cool thing is that  whenever  you are a little thirsty you just stop and drink the water from the lake! As well it’s funny to ride and see some 400m cliffs and mountains around you, and not only sea and sky as usual…

Sunday was raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock so we had a 4 hours meeting where my boss presented all the material and stuff to the consumers, and I talked a little about my Pro Model board and the Vegas 09… was pretty nervous tho, but all ran ok.

now I’m on my way to Tarifa to meet my clothing sponsor Kea Spirit and do some pictures, i’ll have to check for some flights to Sardinia for in 2 days to attend another meeting and probably a little comp… if forecast is promising I’ll go, otherwise I stay in Tarifa for a little, then Germany.
