Spots & areas

- The photographer documents the surfing community and professionals at spots such as Devil's Bay, Chicken Bay, Gun Bay, Arkasa, Luv Spot and Secret Spot.
- The island combines tough wind sports conditions, rough nature studio and quiet holiday moments and becomes a recurring place of strength and encounters for him.

- At the beginning of April, an extremely strong bora caused a state of emergency on Croatia's Adriatic coast for several days.  
- Wind speeds of up to 192 km/h were measured on the island of Rab and the bridge over the Tihi Canal was partially closed on Krk.  
- A caravan was overturned by a gale-force gust on the bridge, while water sports enthusiasts surfed in the Punat lagoon with minimal equipment.

- The expected large influx of salt water into the Baltic Sea did not materialise; only a weak to medium influx with limited spreading occurred.  
- Oxygen depletion in the deep Baltic Sea can be distinguished from localised fish kills near the coast and is separated by the stable salinity layer.  
- Oxygen depletion in the deep water has almost doubled in 30 years, mainly due to nutrient inputs from agriculture; countermeasures will not take effect until 2050 at the earliest.

- A low-pressure system first brought rain, later sunshine and strong north-easterly winds to the Baltic Sea.

- Strong north-easterly winds and sunshine ensured ideal windsurfing conditions in the Bay of Lübeck at the start of spring.
- In Kellenhusen, 4.5-m² sails were already in use in the morning, with many switching to smaller sails with a "three in front of the decimal point" at lunchtime.
- Around 35 windsurfers and a few kiters used the round, but not always powerful waves on the sandbanks for turns and jumps.

- Despite nature conservation conflicts, Fehmarn remains a central water sports area; instead of a national park, the "Baltic Sea Protection Action Plan 2030" now applies.  
- The island offers specialised spots for almost every wind direction with standing areas, wave areas and deep-water areas suitable for foiling.  
- Tourist infrastructure with campsites, surf schools, shops and alternative programmes make Fehmarn heavily dependent on water sports.
