What do you love so much about it?
During the winter there is usually swell and there is always something to do in Maui. We can surf in the morning and then when the wind starts to blow, we can do a good downwinder on the Maliko Run. When it’s dead flat we can do some beach race training or just paddle for fun. In my opinion, this is probably one of the few places in the world where you can do that.
The Fanatic photo shoot takes place there, what’s it like sharing sessions with your team mates?
We have an awesome team with amazing athletes and human beings, there is such a cool atmosphere. On the SUP part it’s obviously inspiring to ride with guys like Airton Cozzolino. He‘s such a freak in waves, he‘s got this unique style with a lot of creativity and a radical approach, very impressive. I feel I learn a lot each time I go surfing with him, it’s always good to watch and analyse. Whatever’s going on we all push each other, I feel like I’m surrounded by family when we’re together.
