Short Story

Windsurfing is my passion—foil, slalom, or wave riding. My goal is to be the fastest and win the PWA.
I started windsurfing at 5, inspired by my father's adventures in Holland, Klitmöller, and Cape Town, using a 104-litre Fanatic Freewave and a 1.4m² Hot Sails. I honed my skills at Grevelingenmeer/Brouwersdam.
In 2021, I aimed to compete in the "Racer of the Sea" at the Surf Festival in Germany but couldn't make it. The following year, at just 10, I was the youngest participant in the ROTS regatta and had success. I also won the U13 Wave World Champion title at the PWA Youth Wave World Cup in Klitmöller.
Initially focused on Fin-Slalom, I faced challenges with variable wind. In September 2022, I tried the IFCA at Lake Garda with my first F4 Foil, finishing 6th in my debut heat. This ignited my ambition for Foil Slalom.

Why F4 Foils?
