    Windsurfing history: On windsurfing I’m since 1994. My father and sister were already into it. My father was one of the first windsurfers in Latvia, really one of few who started Funboard discipline here. In the beginning I was on my father’s hand made Funboard and father friends hand made sail, specially for me ;) Already on 1997 I was among first three in Funboard Youth. Starting from 1999 I was on Formula Windsurfing and Slalom. Till 2006 I was into competitions in these disciplines. Almost every weekend was some competitions somewhere in Baltic’s. In my facility I went for Worlds and European Championships in FW. Then Formula stuff started to feel not right for me, I was 2nd in ranking in Latvia, and I throw all brand new stuff away, actually sold ;) On 2008 we made the first Latvian Wave Cup with two competitions. Already for six years, I have success and I took 1st place in Latvian wave cup.

    What’s something that you get from sailing that you can’t get from anything else? It clears my mind.

    Windsurfing history: I fell in love with windsurfing with age of 5. Since then one part of my brain is always occupied with this amazing sport. I used to compete in EFPT and local freestyle competitions but beside studying and work I found out that freesailing is what is really filling me up. After some time, my girlfiend and I established professional windsurf school. We invited our friends – best Slovenian windsurfers and now our school is traveling around the world and producing more and more windsurf freaks.

    What inspires you? Good wind forecast, the fact, that we depend on nature …

    Windsurfing history: I started windsurfing, because my boyfriend was windsufing. And I started to learn freestyle, because he and all my friends were freestyling… At the moment, most of our “windsufing” time we spend “producing” new windsurfers: together with our friends, best Slovenian windsurfers we established professional windsurf school (Quiksilver windsurf school), that travels around to different spots (Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, Greece …). We have clinics for all levels of windsurfing – from beginners, intermediate and advanced sailors, to those, eager to learn freestyle and wave moves. When we don’t have clinics, we either stay at home and wait for perfect forecast for windsurfing on some local spots (in Slovenia or Croatia), or we try to escape to new destinations around the world

    Plans for the future? Surf or die

    Windsurfing history: I've started windsurfing at the age of 9 and at the age of 13 I had my first competition with F2 Sputnik and North Sails Prisma 4.5. After that I got interested in jumping and doing tricks but my equipment was not for freestyle and I had to made it for it. So I drew holes on my board for a strap and it I was ready to make all kind of tricks. At that point I competed both in course race and freestyle and then I realized that freestyle was perfect for me and I dropped CR I started to compete in freestyle only. I've got myself some better equipment and flew to Gran Canaria for training freestyle and wave. After the training at GC I made some great results. Last few years I compete and train slalom,freestyle and wave but in the future I will practice mostly slalom because of strong competition in that discipline.
