JC: Are you pushing the limits every time you windsurf or are some sessions magical and you feel you can really cut loose?
MB: It really depends; all sessions are different for me. It depends on the conditions, on how rested I am and what my goals are for the day. If the conditions are firing, then windsurfing is instantly fun. A decent session still can happen anytime. And on other days we can all feel a little bit off. I don’t know, things don’t always come together as we want them too; you can get out of sync or a million other factors. I try not to put pressure on myself, like ‘I have’ to land my moves. I just keep on telling myself that all I have to do is to enjoy my windsurfing and that usually helps me into a positive mindset. Then I end up sailing better. If I go out thinking that I have to land this and that it usually takes the fun out of it and I don’t sail so well. I think there are so many variables in wave sailing that you cannot plan what you are going to do. What makes people improve the most is to love what they are doing and therefore be excited about it. That is why it is fun sailing with Levi and Keith; we enjoy it and naturally push each other.
