FULL HOUSE
To be honest it is really tough juggling four disciplines. During the competition season in Europe I have to carry a mountain of gear around to different events as I compete in foiling, slalom, wave and freestyle. I like all four styles of windsurfing, they are all fun but transporting all the equipment is a bit of a nightmare. I was lucky in the Canary Islands this year, as my mum brought my slalom gear over for me and helped me also on the way back to Holland.
The various disciplines require different physiques. With slalom you want to be heavy, otherwise you cannot compete with the bigger guys. Luckily in the Canary Islands it is always windy for freestyle so I can get away with the extra weight when I compete in Fuerteventura. In some ways it has worked out for me as I have more power being heavier.
