7 Sons of Freestyle’ was our debut film produced in 2004 and at the same time it was the first windsurfing film dedicated to modern freestyle windsurfing only.
The day we filmed Gollito’s part was his 15th birthday and he was just about to start his career. Gollito had one sail (3,7m2) and one board these days and he was rippin‘. An exceptional windsurfing career and 9 PWA Freestyle World Champion titles followed.
