 1.
So what are you doing in Poland?
It's my first holiday. First time
in Poland. For me it's my holiday
actually.
2. And you like it here?
Yes for sure.
3. Any negative points?
Ah, maybe the beach is little bit
too full. Not enough wind maybe.
4. Do you find Leba a good event
spot?
Yes I think so. There many people,
no? So I think it's a good spot to
make events. You see beach volley,
3 weeks ago kite-boarding. A lot
of people see what is windsurfing.
It's maybe not very good for
sailors, they don't like so many
people on the beach and it's hard
to go on the water with the board.
But for windsurfing is very good.
5. What do you think of
windsurfing in Poland?
If I go back 20 years in Europe (France
and Germany for example) there was
a big boom. And I think it's
exactly the same right now in
Poland.
6. How do you judge formula
windsurfing?
Yeah, I think it's very good.
There are many places with water,
not strong winds. We have some
good places in the world but you
have a much better place. Eh,
light winds, if it's real formula,
to make competitions maybe not but
for the light wind equipment.
7. What about the development of
fins?
Ah, that depends on the industry
of windsurfing. So it depends on
the board, and everything, the
board makers.
8. Do you think they will change
for formula?
We can make a lot of developments.
Same with the board. We have some
rules to follow. And then we can
play with the new shape of the
board so the fins, we don't invent
the fins. The fins follow the
board and not the other way around.
9. What are your personal goals?
To develop different products and
fins and maybe one day formula
boards. I had 20 years experience
before I made fins I made boards.
10. Any wishes for windsurfing?
Poland can push on other countries
to come back to windsurfing. Like
I see how it is now in Poland is
what was 20 years ago in Europe.
And I think France and Germany was
70% of the world market and now I
don't know, but over time, less.
Actually what I like is more
people trying windsurfing. I think
now the material is very good
quality. You see the startboard is
much easier for beginners. More
interest in windsurfing is pushing
the people. There's a lot of media
involved.
11. Is there any advice for young
competitors?
Be more serious. Have more
professionalism.
