Why do you love to teach sailing and windsurfing? “The thrill people get when they are propelled by the wind is something that never gets old. It’s great to teach a person how to connect with nature like that and to see them grow in their sailing abilities. I really enjoy being able to share my passion for sailing with so many other people!” |
