What a flip-out!
If I were a dolphin I'd be doing somersaults non stop! This is a great honor and I'm very happy, I also wish to congratulate my fellow photographers and wish that they could also attend the Freediving Clinic.
I'ts funny how things work out, Umberto Pellizari gave a course very near home last summer but I couldn't attend because they gave preference to those coming from afar and there wasn't any more room. This of course pissed me off to some extent and in compensation

I forced myself to learn the Frenzel based on Eric's Fattah's excellent article. That done I increased my PB and now am ready to get the most out of a course. It couldn't have come at a better time.
Thanks Stephan and the Judges, DB staff and all those who made this possible, including the generosity of Performance FreeDiving in offering their course as a prize.
warm regards,
Adrian
