INSPIRED EVENTS<\/h3>\n
\n

The Jever Fun Kitecontest was a very successful event back in 2015 with the absolute best of the best athletes from the kitescene. But what the organizers as well as all the riders showed this year, topped everything right off. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

ABOUT<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The InspiredBySports team and InspiredBySports experts Mario Rodwald and Linus Erdmann took part in this years\u2019 Jever Fun Kitecontest and summarized their highlights for IBS exclusively. The tour has started again and before the\u00a0Pringles Kitesurf World Cup on\u00a0Fehmarn<\/a>\u00a0can reach the grande final, there are a couple of events taking place.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Jever Fun Kitecontest took place in the little town of Neuharlingersiel near the rough north sea coast. You wouln\u2019t believe it, but this small fishing village is a real insider tip in the kitesurfing scene. Mario Rodwald told us, that the kite-area can already be used five hours before high tide and there is a possibility to switch spots, depending on the direction of the winds. Since Neuhartling is positioned\u00a0quite hidden in the area of Wottmund in the northwest of Niedersachsen and the spots can not be reached by foot, our kite expert recommends the convenient travel with a rental car.Even though there are more spots for the different directions of the wind, there are days where there is no wind at all at the north sea coast. That\u2019s what the contestants fear, but they were surprised by the exact opposite. The contest could take place and we\u2019re especially excited about the outcome for our kitepro and InspiredBySports expert Linus Erdmann. “In general there wasn\u2019t a lot of wind, causing me to use my 15. Turbine from Slingshot. But despite the light wind and some reruns, I was able to come in first place, at the end of the day. The contest was great, although I would\u2019ve loved having more wind. I think I\u2019m going to return next near, since the contest, as well as the parties were great.\u201d, says Linus Erdmann.<\/em> Next to the athletic records from the kiters, Windloop, the organizer, was able to create a great athmosphere and a big variety with the supporting program. All the important kite scene manufacturers came to Neuhartlingersiel to present their new kitesurf\u00a0accessories\u00a0and to have everyone test it. The Testival had real \u201cWorldCup-Character\u201d, kitepro and IBS-expert Mario Rodwald stated. And also the relaxed parties, that were rocked by DJ Rene Cruz, Axel H from RedBull Sugga and Matthias Fengler aka DJ Puke, were a real foretaste for this years World Cup on Fehmarn. You can see, who was able to win the different disciplines here:<\/strong> Twin Tip Race\u00a0Men<\/strong> 1. Ben Beholz
\n2. Tobias H\u00fcbner\u00a0
