Why kitesurfing? Because I can put all my feelings in the sport. Go for it when you have a good or bad day. Every session is different what keeps the sport fun. Sometimes big waves sometimes flat water. I like it both. Most fun is riding with all your friends, it gives me a great feeling, training together and pushing the level.

They already knew that I’ll stop studying after high school and they where fine with that. I think that pretty cool. It’s really important having family supporting you If you really want to make to a professional level. Especially when your young you need some support.
