فيونا ايلد

وأنا 15 سنة ومدمن مخدرات كليا على ركوب الأمواج. وبدأ والدي التدريس لي كيفية إركب الرياح عندما كنت في الرابعة. I didn’t really like it all that much, but by the time I was seven I was starting to get a feeling for the sport. When I turned eleven I decided it was the year that I wanted to race. From then on, windsurfing has been one of my favorite things to do. I love slalom and formula racing, as well as wave sailing. Any day on the water is a great day!

من أي بلد أنت?
I am originally from Port Townsend Washington, but now I live in Hood River Oregon and Los Barriles Mexico.

ماذا تفعل مع حياتك الآن?
This past summer I worked at Big Winds, in Hood River, teaching kids how to windsurf. It is a great job because it taught me how to explain important technique, that improved my own windsurfing along with the students.

ما هو المكان المفضل لديك للابحار?
I love sailing anywhere it’s windy. For me there isn’t a specific spot where I like to sail the most, anyplace there is wind and water, I will be sailing.
إذا هل يمكن أن تذهب في أي مكان في العالم لإركب الرياح, وحيث يكون?
I just returned from my fist trip to Maui. I absolutely loved sailing at Hookipa, so I would return to Maui for some more wave action!

الذين هم رعاة الخاص بك? ما رأيك معدات ركوب?
My sponsors are Big Winds, Sailworks, O’Neill, DaKine, Quatro and Gorge Dental. My favorite wave set up is a 3.4 Sailworks Revolution and the Quatro Quad KT 69.

ما هي الالهام الخاص?
My friends and family inspire me the most. They make windsurfing really fun and exciting. They push me to the next level, and are there to cheer me on. There is noting better than sailing with your whole family and a group of friends!

ما هو الجزء المفضل لديك حول المنافسة على AWT العام الماضي?
My favorite part about the AWT last year was the excitement that existed at the events. Everybody was so stoked on windsurfing that it felt like a honor to be part of the windsurfing community, it also made me push my limits and try new things. It was so much fun to be part of the AWT, I can’t wait for this year!
