Field Day

On 27th July the IIB unit Puck took a day off in order to learn how to Kite-Surf. Unfortunately, the trip to Podersdorf was in vain – NO WIND! Since we were all looking forward to spending the day on and in the water, we decided to go wake-boarding. Back in Vienna, we went to the Wakeboard Lift Wake-up and thoroughly enjoyed the sunny day, as you can see from the pictures.
