Living my Dream

When I first started windsurfing at the age of 12, I wouldn’t have dreamed it: that one day I would be able to support myself and my vision by doing what I truly love. Professional windsurfing fills my life 100% these days. Besides winning the Danish National Championships a few times already, I’ve gone on to hold the South American title, Australian, New Zealand, Bronze medal at the Europeans, 1st. Formula windsurfing annual world ranking list 2006 etc.  The ultimate triumph would be to win the World Championships.

With the support of my family and friends, I stay focused on my goal. Long term goals are the most difficult to achieve. You’ve got to stay on top of it all the time, every day counts. You can’t waste a single minute. Chasing sponsorships is a full time job in itself. I’m lucky to be sponsored by world class companies, who like me, strive to be the best at whatever they do.

My dream would be fulfilled, not only with a World Championship, but perhaps even more so, if I could in some way inspire youths in living their dream out to its fullest. It’s a question of being a good example, showing them that not only through training and self discipline but also through the use of a structured, professional approach, they can achieve anything. I’m convinced I can add that value.

I’ll keep you posted, so check my site regularly for updates. I’ll let you know how I’m doing in ‘living my dream!’
