Starboard

 

  “After some amazing years with SIC full of unforgettable victories, good times and great experiences (for which I’m very thankful!), today I’m really happy to be part of the “Tiki Team” with Starboard. This new start is not only about racing, but we also have some really exciting art projects coming along that will make the sport of SUP even more colorful. I’m looking forward to a great season on the blue arrows!”

Winning Mallorca

in port adriano, powered by Mercedes with my art design on. On the water racing the SIC X-14.0 Pro-Lite. This board is 24.0”/61.0cm wide. The bottom cross sections allow the racer to get up to top speed quicker and stay at your top speed longer with less effort. The piercing bow design and missile like outline mean the board will continue to accelerate the harder you stroke. The new X-14.0 Pro-Lite is designed to put Elite racer ahead of the pack and on top of the podium: http://bit.ly/sic-x14prolite        read more here>>>>>>>>>>

new painting "Mana"

150x60cm Art by Sonni Hönscheid / Words by Janni Hönscheid @jannihonscheid ❤ "while the world around her was starting to crumble and turn into grey, in a moment of desesperation, she took a breath and raised her arms up to the sky... sunlight shone through her, an energy so pure, her roots were the ocean, wind in her hair, flowers on her bare chest, passion in her eyes... she caught life in her body and she brought color to the world. It was the moment that the world changed. One beating heart. One smile. One feeling. One girls dream. Your arms in the sky. Awake. And the world will never be the same again. "

Racing update: 3rd place in World series Northshore Oahu

Great weekend in California at the Pacific Paddle Games. Amazing conditions & really high level. It was really nice to be part of this event. Couldn't give a 100% (souvenir from freezing Germany - a cold) but I definitely had fun surfing some nice waves and trying to manage that challenging race course through the waves and still managed to get a fifth place in den Surf Race.

The next weekend I could improve to a 3rd place overall in the world series on the northshore , Oahu

Thank you Supthemag "Sonni Hönscheid had a major breakthrough win with her victory at M20 this year, setting the third-fastest women’s time across the Ka’iwi Channel. Winning what is often called the hardest paddle race in the world is no easy feat. Hönscheid earned the Female Performance of the Year at the 2014 SUP Awards for her victory.

Bonus Performance: Hönscheid won the 17-mile downwind Na Pali Race on Kauai.”

I´m really honored and happy to be in the top 10 performances of the year!! Thank you to my family, friends and sponsors for the support!! like Mark Raaphorst says "Teamwork makes the dream work”
