| A few words about yourself. | A few words about yourself. I’m a avid windsurfer! I try to make the most out of every session and most importantly I always make sure I’m having fun not just training for competition! |
| What makes your ride? | The “itch” to go on the water, be a better sailor, develop my own style and have fun with my friends. Also the after session hot chocolate is a big push haha |
| How much do you love to windsurf? | As I am writing this I am thinking “ahh would be nice to go do a couple of backloops”. Absolutely love windsurfing! So much that I have adjusted my whole life for it! |
| What is your most memorable session? | Cold, rainy autumn day at a spot called Ristna in Estonia. A couple of good friends out on the water, long, clean, very bizarre waves for the Baltic Sea. Spent all day on the water! And having a little, warm hut by the sea just added something more to the session. Such a memorable experience! |
| What inspires you? | My fellow windsurfers. No matter how bad is the weather, we always go on the water together. Their dedication inspires me. Probably videos of the top windsurfers ripping also urges me to ride better! |
| Describe your gear and the conditions you use it in. | I am grateful that Goya has gear that is suited for my size and weight. The custom 4 60l board is a beast. For now in my quiver I have the Guru X sails which I really like. They feel soft, light and very responsive. My perfect setup is my 60l board and the Guru X 3.7 |
| What does riding for Goya mean to you? | It means a lot to me. Having all these great people together who are working as a team to put out the best gear on the market by my side is awesome! On the water just knowing that the only thing holding you back is yourself not the gear, gives you a big boost of confidence. I am really looking forward to the windy season! |
