What makes your ride? What drives me to sail is the adrenaline rush that a sport like windsurfing can bring. It’s an incredible feeling of freedom, especially in moments of stress, where the ocean becomes my escape. Windsurfing not only fuels my passion but also allows me to meet amazing people and discover breathtaking places around the world. It’s more than a sport – it’s a lifestyle that connects me to nature, adventure, and a vibrant global community.
What is your most memorable session? My most memorable session was probably last year when I got back on the water after my short break. It was the moment I truly felt like a windsurfer again. Of course, this is just one of the many amazing sessions I’ve had, but it holds a special place in my heart.
What’s your magic gear and when did you realize it? Without a doubt, my favorite gear is the combination of the 68L Quad and the Banzai X Pro 3.5. I’m 100% sure that my best wave rides and jumps have been with this setup! Over the years, I’ve realized that these are the sizes that feel the most comfortable for me – they’re absolutely insane.
Dream Trip. 100%, the place I’m most excited to visit is Hawaii. I’ve only ever heard amazing things about it. I haven’t had the chance to go yet, but I’m sure I’ll make it there soon!
