| Why compete |
I like the scene. It’s a good group of friends all sharing the same interests. Also I am a competitive person and I like to push myself to my limits by entering competitions. It is good to sail with the best guys in the World as you can see what the new moves are and work towards them |
| Why travel |
Warmer and more consistently stronger winds therefore it is more enjoyable. It’s a great opportunity to see new places, which otherwise I probably would never go to. |
