40 YEARS OF WINDSURF

I am a citizen of the world with windsurfing in my heart. Windsurfing has been the engine of my life, gave me excitement, joy and success, has made me become an athlete, traveler, federal technician, teacher, and finally, for over thirty years, entrepreneur. And it is this passion that all this time I tried to convey to three generations of surfers through my work that began in Torbole, the European capital of surfing.
