‘It’s my passion’
Q: The Kite-Surf can be either pure surfing or mixed format or pure strapless freestyle. I guess you would prefer just strapless freestyle?
CL: Of course, I would love that because I mean, I really like freestyle. But I think to have a mix of waves and strapless freestyle is something very good because at the end, I think it’s important to be good at strapless freestyle and in the waves. So yeah, I just need to improve on that. I like to ride the waves as well. It’s a really nice feeling.
Q: You mentioned that you used to race foil. Do you do any other kiteboarding or wingfoiling?
CL: I do some Twin-Tip Big Air and I did some winging while I was in Dakhla, Morocco, for the comp. I really like the feeling. I’m not planning to compete [in Twin-Tip Big Air] but maybe in the future, we never know. Now, I’m focusing on strapless freestyle and the waves as well, but I think it’s good to do a bit of everything because it’s my passion. So it’s good if I can do more things.
Q: In the coming year what do you see? Obviously you say you want to repeat winning the title. What are the biggest challenges to that?
CL: I know that I that I have to improve in some tricks and to learn some new ones. So I’m going to spend hours and hours in on the water to improve those tricks. I will try to do my best, not putting too many too much pressure on myself, because that’s not how how I work. But yeah, I’m gonna do my best and we’ll see if I can do it or not.
Q: What what are your goals for the coming year then?
CL: I would say, a little bit as I did this year, I need to have fun when I’m on the water doing my best in the competitions. As I said, I really want to improve in waves. It’s really important now as the GKA is more into waves. But yeah, just to have fun, travel, and be with some friends. The season’s starting pretty soon, so where the spots are, I think I’m gonna be there two weeks beforehand, so I can train a lot for the competition. And I hope that I can maybe travel to Peru, or something like this, to catch some good waves.
