Background: Me and me three sisters are born and raised just next door to the ocean. Our parents started windsurfing back in the good old eighties and I and my sister Nina started when we were about ten years old. In the beginning I remember we didn´t enjoy it very much. Our parents had to bribe us with toys! ? When the discipline Freestyle was made-up, our home spot with its shallow, flat water instantly became a popular spot among windsurfers. The playground was (and still is) just outside our house. In 2004, I participated in my first World cup.
