INTERVIEW
Who is Marc Paré E-334?
Just a really passionate windsurfer who enjoys a lot sailing, training, traveling and testing gear!
What is your super power?
I don’t actually have a super power, but if I could choose one would be teleportation. So then I could get faster to the spots and always score the best sessions!
What are your favourite conditions in general / favourite spot / favourite gear?
Mmm… That’s a tough question! I actually like as much a a Side-On jumping session on 3,4 / 3,7 than a down-the-line session just floating on a 5,0. But if I could choose would probably be a nice down-the-line session just because I have less chances always to sail these type of conditions.
You have just tried your new sails for the first time, how do you like them?
I’m loving the new sails! They are really balanced, powerful and stable in higher wind conditions. I’m loving the fact that they help you so much when you are wave-riding, giving you a lot of drive in the bottom turn and helping you whip the board in the top turn.
Who are your best buddies on the PWA tour?
Victor Fernández, Adam Lewis, Julian Salmonn, Ben Profitt and Marino Gil.
What are your goals for the upcoming season?
Sail consistently at my maximum level in all my heats and try and brake into the top 5.
What are your hobbies besides windsurfing?
I love surfing and biking when I’m not windsurfing!
What is the funniest thing that happened to you recently?
We did a challenge where you had to stand up while lifting a chair and because you are in an awkward position somehow I couldn’t stand up, then my friends tried it too and couldn’t stand up either. We had a great laugh! hahaha
What would you do if you found 1 Mio Euro?
First of all it would go to my family and the rest I would probably invest it (and of course probably buy loads of surfboards hahaha).
Anything else, you want to tell the world?
The more I sail, the more I want to windsurf! Windsurfing is like a drug for me!
