De kracht van ademhaling

De kracht van ademhaling. De meeste topsporters kunnen zich volledig richten op hun sport; hetgeen waar ze in uitblinken. Als je echter, zoals ik, topsporter bent in een niche sport die buiten de Olympische Spelen valt (want freestyle windsurfen kan geen olympische klasse zijn omdat je een minimale hoeveelheid wind nodig hebt wat ze niet…

the love for WING

I am a windsurfer, yes. But I am more than that, I am also Arrianne, a mom, an entrepreneur, an atlete and a SUP-er, WING-er and surfer. Because we can be soooo much more than just one of them, right?! As watersport lovers we often used to label ourselves as a kiter, windsurfer or surfer….

Aloha Classic and 2nd Overall IWT

Since I can remember Maui has always been this magical windsurfing place, the holy grail of all windsurf spots for me, just from seeing Ho’okipa action shots, watching windsurf movies or reading about it in Windsurf Magazines. I never imagined myself windsurfing there, let alone competing there one day in my life. Last year I…

Competitions 2019
