Name: Xenia Kessler

Age: 20

Sail number: D-211

Favourite equip: 4.8 Loco I think… But I also like to be on 4.2 or 3.7, full power freestyle and then my 90litres freestyleboard.

Favourite discipline: Freeeestyyyleee. I like to work on technical tricks, and I like that there is always something new to learn. Learning a new move after hours of practising really gives me a kick! I like it so much!

Favourite move: I like to mix the moves, and try different stuff, but to do a clew first spock 540 feels great :)

Favourite spot national and international:So far my favourite spot is Sorobon. It's a perfect place for freestyle, and I love the spirit there. There is always someone to go surf with, people are pushing the limits of freestyle and the wind blows for a good powered 4.8 most of the time. In Denmark I enjoy my home spot Skæring, or Alrø, a lot. There is a really good atmosphere on the water and on land, and as it is close to my home I can go straight after work and practise for hours. I've had so many good sessions here! For waves we have Hanstholm, which can be really really good for waveriding, which I am still practising. But anywhere with wind and water can pretty much put a smile on my face :)

Best day windsurfing: Luckily I cannot pick just one :) - There has been a lot! But a really good could be like... I wake up early early because I can hear the wind blow outside. I wake Julie up, and then we go for a biiig power breakfast together with some friends. We turn up the music, and go to the spot, where I see white caps and a bit of sunshine and shaking trees and flags. On the water there is a good atmosphere, people trying a lot of moves! I land a new trick I have been training a lot.... and we keep sailing for hours and hours ....that's a really good day!!

When it is not windy: I like to keep myself busy with something else. I like challenges, and sport a lot, like snowboarding, soccer, skateboarding… I'm also into creative stuff, and off course I like to spend time with my family and friends too. They mean a lot to me.

And...Go for it, have fun, and keep on trying untill you get where you wanna be. if you can dream it, you can do it :)
