German Surfing Championships

The forecast was not looking promising with a 4.9 meter swell on 13 seconds for the first few days of the waiting period. This meant very difficult heats from the first round onwards as I didn`t only have to deal with the other good surfers but also with the 2-3 meter onshore shorebreak and heavy current.
I managed to make it through all the heats till the final which was meant to be on friday. As the sun rose friday morning we were greated by 3-4 foot clean, offshore and pumping surf. The open final was the last heat of the competition to enter the water at about 16:00 local time. The 4 competitors in the final were Severin Clasen, Arne Berkwinkel, Arthur Wystrychowski and me. I scored a good wave right at the start of the heat which scored me a 7.33. From here on I was in the drivers seat and managed to score another good wave. Second place went to Arne, who was allways close behind me, only needing a 6.83. He is a young surfer who spents his summers in France and his winters in Ecuador. Third place went to Arthur, which I see as one of germany`s best goofy footers. Fourth place went to Sevi, who is like a brother to me and recently got signed by Quiksilver.
Thanks to everyone who supported me, the DWV for the good organization and all the helpers and those who made this event happen.



4.9 con 13 segundos marcaba la predicción para los primeros días del evento. Muy dificiles las mangas desde la primeras rondas, no solo surfear contra muy buenos surfistas sino también, luchar contra las fuertes corrientes y enrormes espumas que nos revolcaban hasta la orilla. 
El viernes amanecía un buen día despejado, off shore y unas olas muy bonitas de menos altura que los días anteriores. La final, que se disputo a marea llena entraba al agua sobre las 16:00, en la que entramos Severin Clasen, Arne Berkwinkel, Arthur Wystrychowski y yo. Tuve mucha surte al coger nada mas empezar la final una muy buena ola que fue puntuada con un 7.33 que sería mi mejor ola de la final junto con un 6 como segunda mejor dejando detrás mio a Arne un joven surfista que pasa el verano en Francia y el invierno en Ecuador. En tercer lugar Arthur, bajo mi punto de vista uno de los mejores Goofy de Alemania y en cuarto lugar Sevi que es para mi como un hermano, recien fichado por Quiksilver.
Gracias a todos los que me apoyaron, a la DWV por la buena organizacion y a todos los ayudantes y los que hicieron posible que este evento se realice.
