Hey Forest! What have you been up to recently?
Hi! Well, after a sad injured summer last year, I am super happy to have gone to Brazil to get back in the game! It has helped me so much to improve my tricks again and now I find my self at the first PKRA World tour stop in Dakhla!
The accident last year has brought me closer as well to the world of film making and I started working for Clash together with Alvaro Onieva.
Have you been training hard lately and how do you see your chances on the Pro World Cup this year?
I stayed in Brazil for 2 month this winter to get my level back after my injury. All the riders are riding really powered and its getting more and more difficult, this is keeping me motivated to train even more for the coming stops. I think I have a chance in the top 10 in the general ranking, but this will only come with hard work and training, luck isn’t gonna be on my side if I don’t train for it!! So wish me good training! :)
How do you see the kitesurf world develop over the coming 5 to 10 years?
