Hobbies

Windsurfing

Course racing. Best results:

- 12th in the Worlds (1987)

- 5th in the Europeans (1987)

- 1st in the Finnish Nationals (1987)

- ranking #1 in Finland (1986)

- I still race in the Formula class for fun (this picture is from 2007; I am in the blue shirt):

Nowadays I also do tricks for fun. Best tricks I have done:

- Forward loop (June 2008-, but I haven't sailed out of it yet...working on it)

- Carving 360 (about 2004-)

- Duckjibe (starting in summer 2001 or 2002)

First successful forward loop (~90MB), Maui 6/3/2013.

Video of duckjibing in Maui in summer 2002 (~5MB).

Video of a big fall in Maui in summer 2002 (~1MB).

This is the 14 foot guy I ran into while windsurfing at Cape Cod in the mid 1990s. You do not want to get introduced to him!
