The Masters of Obertauern 2008 where a big succes last weekend. This annual snowkite season opening event in Austria gets bigger and bigger every year. Low wind on Saturday and gusty winds and loads of snow on Sunday made the conditions challenging for the competitors.
In the end, our teamrider Sebastian Bubmann (Flysurfer/Scott) was able to secure the win in Snowkite Freestyle (Ski) and fellow teamrider Peter Müller (Flysurfer/Choc) was able to reach a respectable 4th place in Snowkite Freestyle(Snowboard)!
