Hamburg-based pro kiter Anne Valvatne against Mercedes-AMG DTM race driver Maximilian Götz in unusual race on the North Sea island of Sylt / Legendary bread roll with fish from GOSCH Sylt as winner’s trophy / The event marks the start of the final preparatory phase of Kitesurf Cup Sylt 2016.
Eight weeks ahead of this year's Kitesurf Cup Sylt the preparations for the event have entered their final stage with a particularly unusual event. On 25th of April, pro kitesurfer Anne Valvatne compets against professional Mercedes-AMG DTM race driver Maximilian Götz in a special race on the most northern island of Germany, Sylt. The special thing about that race: both contestants have to race the roundabout 3.5 km long course only by using their brain and, above all, their very own muscle strength.

While Anne Valvatne (34) has to race on water with her board and hooked to her kite, 30-year old DTM race driver Maximilian Götz is pedaling the very high-tech road racing bike he and his fellow teammates are officially using in their training sessions.
