Rider of the Week
Anne Marie Reichman
Woher kommen Sie?
Ich bin ursprünglich aus Holland.
Teilen Sie uns Ihre Karriere.
Nach einigen Jahren mit Spaß lernen, wie man Windsurfen mit meiner Familie (während der Ferien und an Wochenenden), Ich habe mehr ernst Wesen 16 Jahre alt. I was at the local lake every weekend and started course racing and long distance races followed by a Dutch Championship title in ’94. In ’95 I moved to the Dutch North Sea and learned to windsurf in the waves a bit. Maui and South Africa seemed more interesting for waves and after my first ‘real waves’ I was hooked and my competitive drive came up again. I started the PWA in 1998 and became 3rd overall in the PWA wave overall rankings 2002 amongst many top 5 results in earlier and later years. Since a few years I combine windsurfing with SUP and surfing; challenging myself in more areas while organizing the SUP 11-City Tour since 2008/2009.
Was sind einige Ihr Lieblingsplatz zu segeln?
Hookipa, Maui.
I would go to Western Australia, get a 4×4, chase the weather patterns on West- and South coast and make sure to throw a SUP and windsurf board in there as well
Wer sind Ihre Sponsoren?
Roxy Clothing, Starboard SUP & Windsurf, DaKine, Ezzy Sails
My inspirations vary from positive, inspiring, passionate, kind, loving people to nature’s beauty; a wave, a flower, sunsets – to the ‘odd moment’ when things come together and give you the message “you’re on the right track, kiddo!”‘.
Was war Ihr Lieblings-Teil über den Wettbewerb auf dem AWT letzten Jahr?
I competed again in the Makani Classic on Maui last year after not competing for a few years. It was a fun competition with great side- events organized. The participants were stoked and competitive, there was a good crew running the show. It was a pleasure to take part and ending up 2nd with the women.
Was sind Ihre Ziele für 2012?
I hope to get sailing again within 2 months. I injured my knee over christmas (the ACL). I also hope to be part of the event again on Maui for sure.
