PWA: Where are you from?
Rick: I am from Holland.

 

PWA: How old are you?
Rick: I am 16 years old and the youngest person on the tour.

 

PWA: Where do you windsurf at home?
Rick: I windsurf at Brouwersdam in Holland, it is a really good freestyle spot. I always train in Holland.

 

PWA: So this is your first PWA event, how is it so far?
Rick: Podersdorf is a really nice event, really well organized and I am really hoping for some wind.

 

PWA: Have you done much training for an event like this?
Rick: I train all the time…as much as I can I really. I like it, so whenever it is windy I try to get out. I have also done some national championships.

 

PWA: Where do you hope to finish at this event?
Rick: I really would like to finish in the top 20, maybe 16th. We will see.

 

PWA: Which other events will you do this year?
Rick: I hope to also do Sylt and Lanzarote. And next year I will do the whole tour.

 

PWA: And finally, what is your favorite move?
Rick: The shaka is my favorite move; I love how you float in the air, it feels great.

 

PWA: Thanks for your time today and good luck.
