Biggest Career Achievement
Several victories in the PKRA World Cup back in the early days of my career. However, I see all my solo missions to the most remote corners of the planet in search of wind and waves as much bigger achievements than any competition victory. For me personally, my freerider career is just much more fulfilling than any competition has ever been. I truly live for my explorer adventures. I’ve been to over 80 countries, published over 300 magazine articles in several languages and been featured in numerous TV and film productions. Plus, what I’m really most proud of is having been a team rider of the best brand in the world for 20 years now and counting!!
