Daida: There is a difference of age as well. I mean we are turning forty this year! We have been on tour for twenty years. We have been friends with so many girls on tour and we always had a kind of family together. Everywhere we went we were in a group of girls hanging around. Now we are not part of that group because they are younger and they want to beat us. So there is a competitive side there. We don’t feel part of that because there is a difference of age and they are a different group. We have done our best to encourage women on tour over the years. We organised training camps for girls and were always pushing the level but now it is different. The girls we used to hang out with like Karin Jaggi, Anne Marie and all these girls, they are gone! They are mums or retired from windsurfing. This new group have come from freestyle. They know each other better. I think it is normal that they are happy when some of them beat Iballa or I. They are really happy and excited. It is not nice for us, but it is normal. That is what they have to do, continue their training and try to beat us. The sport is fun and this makes it more interesting!
