Reinhold Gehrer
Reinhold Gehrer, better known as FlyFisch, has been passionate about kitesurfing since 2006. The moment he saw the first kites at his home spot in Austria, he knew he had found his sport. Today, his biggest passion is foiling in all its forms, from light wind cruising and long-distance adventures to Hydrofoil Big Air and snowkiting. For Reinhold, foiling represents the most efficient and progressive way to harness the power of the wind. Whenever the forecast looks promising, he’s usually the first one on the water.
