Rider of the Week

Jordan Reid

Parlaci di te: Nel 19 anni, Mi piace fare una grande varietà di sport come BMX, SUP, navigare, wakeboard, snowboard e soprattutto windsurf. Salii in windsurf con i miei genitori perché ogni fine settimana mi avrebbero trascina fino al CA Delta. ed infine, I got tired of being sitting on the beach and tried sailing . Ever since I’ve been hooked on the sport because of the feeling of freedom being able to skip across the water as fast as you want with so much power behind your sail. 2011 was the first I had ever wave sailed. I had never even been to Davenport or Waddell to windsurf, even though I lived not too far from these famous wave sailing spots. I saw the AWT contest was coming up and got a couple weeks practice at Waddell. I’ve always been really into freestyle and flat water but after my first time wave sailing I got the feeling of excitement. It also opened my eyes up to a whole new side of the sport.

Di dove sei? I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area and have lived in the same area my whole life. Every year as I get older, I realize how awesome of a place it really is and how it fits me perfectly.

Parlaci della tua carriera. I don’t have a career yet but I enjoy working as a goldsmith at my dads full service Jewelry shop doing everything from repair to manufacture of custom pieces. I’m currently focusing almost all my time going to school, working towards my future career to become a Firefighter.

Quali sono il tuo posto preferito per navigare? Too many places to list. For waves Punta San Carlos Mexico sticks out the most because of the endless perfect waves and how much fun I had last summer with everyone camping on the point.

Se potessi andare ovunque nel mondo di windsurf, dove sarebbe? I’ve always wanted to go to Dehab Egypt to freestyle in the crystal clear water. I’ve seen so many videos from there and It looks like a really nice spot.

Chi sono i vostri sponsor? My current sponsor is Dakine and they build a top quality product. But I’m also looking for a board/sail company.

Quali sono le tue ispirazioni? My family and close friends.

Qual era la tua parte preferita di competere sul AWT scorso anno? The people that I met throughout the tour really had a lasting impression on me. It was awesome to meet people that have the same interests as me. Also the different places it brought me because I had never sailed Oregon coast, Messico, Santa Cruz and Maui in winter.

Quali sono i tuoi obiettivi per 2012? Per divertirsi!
