choose to study instead of kitesurfing.
Rui Meira, in former times a Naish rider wich i've met during the kitepunks and several other events was always on top of his game, and now he is playing other stakes.
I asked Rui on Facebook (the place to meet world class riders) what he was doing.
he replyd me this:
well this year i got back into college, i started studying business management and so far everything is going pretty good even after 5 years just kiting. besides that i still kite whenever I feel like it, mostly a waveboard or something bindings also a lot of regular surfing and stand up paddle surfing and windsurfing as well as alot of freeriding moutain biking.
So no real sponsors to be able to compete and i guess i just don't feel like it anymore, right now i have the chance to do so many diferent things as well as challenge myself with school once again.
so dear kiters, now you've read it...
School is important, so back to work ;)
kiteing we do for fun, but we also need to look into the future and make our future work!
oud interview Rui Meira
want als je 60 bent zie ik niet gauw iemand meer wedstrijden op topniveau kiten...
en de rest van je leven dan spenderen aan een of andere kutjob lijkt me ook niks
wel goed dat hij dan gaat studeren ipv goedkope job te zoeken!
