TIMO MULLEN
“Well getting motivated to go windsurfing for me takes not much effort, I’m always ready to go at the drop of a hat! I think living in the UK helps that motivation a lot as it is not always 100% guaranteed conditions here so you really have to make the most of even the weakest forecasts and sometimes mediocre conditions. I have been to Maui before and seen guys who have been there a while and turned their nose up at conditions that quite honestly I would have given my left nut up for! I must admit some of the missions I embark on are pretty crazy, but I think the crazy ones are the guys who stay at home and don’t follow what to me looks like a no brainer epic forecast! I think local knowledge helps in making those decisions, as all my crazy missions are pretty well thought out, I’m not going all those miles for a picnic! I think that previous knowledge of the spot helps the motivation as I know what to expect when I get there, and trust me it is usually worth it. I also balance my life as a pro windsurfer with a full time job, so my time off is pretty valuable, sitting in a windowless showroom for five months of the year keeps my mind focussed on being motivated to go windsurfing I can assure you! Ultimately the biggest motivation is the fact I love windsurfing!”
