Kiteboarding issue n152 out now! Moving pictures definitely play a major roll in our daily lives - but holding a fine print of photography in your hand definitely won’t get old. Proud to score this cover! The shot was taken by @jenshogenkamp during a spontaneous shoot in Africa after we bumped into each other on the sidewalk. I have been working with Jens for the first time around 15 years ago and he hasn’t lost any motivation since. It felt energizing to step back in the boots and get back into the unhooked moves. These are the sessions I thrive on! #kiteboarding #magazine #photography #wakestyle #kite #thrive #koldshapes #cover https://www.instagram.com/p/CqiuGzHIyxt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Been dreaming of a pure surf trip like this for a very long time. The stoke is all real… Such a good vibe on the boat with very like minded water-addicted people from all over. Big thanks to the hardworking crew! The boat leaves at sunrise from a lagoon and we can surf whenever & wherever we wish until it’s dark… definitely feels like escaping reality. Which is good sometimes I guess. But then all the turtles, sharks, mantas & parrot fish feel very real and alive. Coming home soon. #surfedout #imonaboat #kooksontherun #surf #ocean #travel #melkmaschine #keinwindundtrotzdemganzschön (at Indian Ocean) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiiLji1JIem/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Loyal to the foil. Kitefoil is my favorite vehicle to explore the local wonders of our seas… or even better the unridden ones. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ 🎥: @bulgenslag #schleswigholstein #loyaltothefoil #family #friends #kiteboarding #kitefoil #wingfoil #sea #ride #travel #explore #foil #landscape #water #koldshapesfoil #photography #ocean #travelgram #surf #home #bretterbude #ozone #stadtwerkekiel #kielerenergie #yuandicare #xcelwetsuit #seamehamburg #KOLDshapes (at Bretterbude Heiligenhafen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbhKvAqoD21/?utm_medium=tumblr
