Anyone who talks about children or the weather at my party will no longer be invited," Karl Lagerfeld is reported to have once said. He would probably have been very lonely at his parties if he had kept this resolution. Because at least when it comes to the weather, practically everyone has a say and doesn't hold back with their critical opinion: too cold, too hot, too dry, too wet and then always this wind - stop!
Windsurfers have a very exclusive opinion on the last point of criticism. There can never be enough wind - especially in summer. When you no longer have to drive to the spot wrapped up in a thick suit and torture yourself in centimetre-thick neos, but can relax on the beach without having to worry about losing important body parts. When the hot tea is replaced by an ice-cold beer after the session and the sun works unpaid overtime, warming you as you gaze contentedly at the water. These are the moments that stay in our memories and will soon have to console us on dark autumn days.
"I have something against complaining about the weather. It would be really impractical if it never rained in Germany." - Jörg Kachelmann, meteorologist

Chief editor surf
Andreas was born in 1962 and grew up in Osnabrück. He became passionate about windsurfing as early as 1974, when he learned to tack and jibe at one of the first surf schools on the Baltic Sea. Lake Dümmer became the favorite playground of his youth for him and his friends. In 1988, he joined Surf Magazin as a tester and later editor and was lucky enough to be able to turn his passion into a career. Andreas has been responsible for the magazine's content as editor-in-chief since 2002. His favorite spots are those on the Danish North Sea and Baltic coasts.
