Hi I’m Michael Polanowski. I’m 20. I have an
older brother Marek. My home town is Ciechocinek,
this is a small town in the middle of Poland.
Since my childhood I have been interested in extreme
sports. As a ten year old boy I started
rollerskating and skateboarding. I always wanted to
take a sport as a profession, but it wasn’t it. My
parents wanted me to play tennis but for luck I was
too old. Two years later I tried motocross and at
the first moment I fell in love with it. From the
beginning trained a lot, I even built the course for
ridding. When I was 15 I was planning to take part
in motocross racing. But my parents changed my plans
and sent me to Leba windsurfing camp.
From the beginning I loved it. I enjoyed so much
that when my group had break I was still on the
water. After 2 weeks training on lake in Leba I was
already planning and using both straps.
And a month later, took part in Polish Youth
Championships. Since this time windsurfing become
for me not just a sport but also a life style.
I
am using STARBOARD and I do not want to change it. I
like new ideas which create new trends in
windsurfing.
I use DEBOICHET custom fins, that is why I can
choose the perfect model and stiffness for me.
Last year I started my studies on WSPiZ, name Leon
Kozminski in Worsow. Knowladge which I got there
helped me in my life.
