AMBITIONS
Back in the 2000 Kevin Pritchard managed to break Bjoern Dunkerbeck’s relentless stronghold on the overall title. With numerous wave and racing overall P.W.A. victories under his belt, Kevin’s pretty much ticked all the boxes as far as competition sailing goes. Even so, he’s still as motivated as ever to promote the sport and keep on living the life as a sailing professional.
KP: “Right now I’m super happy with what I’m doing and happy to just keep on trucking! I couldn’t ask for anything else. It’s fun for me to promote the sport a little bit through video. I don’t know if it does or not, but I feel like I’m contributing something back at least. Hopefully the movies help showcase the sport. It’s nice to be able to repay a little bit to the sport that’s given me so much. I appreciate that side a little bit. Windsurfing has given me everything. I was fortunate enough to be around when the money was a lot better. Now it’s nice to try and promote it further. I’m not earning so much from it these days, I’m earning a lot less, but I guess I can say I have a better lifestyle? Over the years I wasn’t the biggest spender! Every cent I could save I did, plus I bought a nice house on Maui. I guess I was a cheapskate, tight ass, whatever you want to call it. I’m not living like a king, but I’m happy. I can go down to the beach and sail every day I want to. Plus I can also go on some of these trips where some ne pays for me to film and then I go out there and ride as well. It keeps the dream alive. Sure I’ve got to be a little bit more careful of what I’m spending, but to me it’s worth it. The pressure that I put on myself back in the day was pretty incredible. I really gave it everything when I was on tour. It’s nice to not have that anymore”.
THAT WAS ALL I KNEW – LIFE ON THE P.W.A.!
