Teisendorf.

Where did you last paddle?

Chile.

What are your best paddling memories?

Hard question, there are so many … The best days for me on the river are: being out there with good friends, sunny and warm weather, crystal blue water, big waves, not having anything else to do than enjoying the day paddling, running a long stretch that takes the whole day to paddle, being tired in the end, have a nice barbecue in the end sitting by the fire under millions of stars before falling asleep and dreaming of doing the same thing the next day again. Futa life!

Where should everybody go paddling once?

Futaleufu.

What else do you like to do when you’re not out paddling?

Planning my next paddling trip, cooking, traveling.

What’s your best advise for other paddlers?

I´ve seen many paddlers who somehow forced themselves too much to step up for harder whitewater – the question is why?
Paddling IS fun so go out and have FUN! No matter on which little piece of whitewater, flatwater, lake or the ocean.

What are your favourite bits of kit?

Zenith cags and NeoFlex pants.

Where is left on your list of places to go?

Nepal, Canada.

Describe your perfect day on the water?

Sunny and warm, friends, big waves, crystal clear blue water.

What are you most looking forward to in 2017?
