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.
