magical one. I felt a sort of energy and a
thought connection, regarding the way we all
wanted to put innovation forward.
We went cruising off into the Tyrrhenian Sea
at about 18 knots. With beautiful sunlight
illuminating Corsica and Giglio Island we
planned how to spend four days exploring.
On the way, Roberto wanted to show me the
places that he is most fond of, such as the
Island of Montecristo, a mythical area,
loaded with history that dates back to the
Iron Age. These days the island is a nature
reserve, and there are just two humans who
live there, both keepers who look after the
reserve and help to preserve the flora and
fauna found here.
I am passionate about board sports, and I’m
convinced that those sports can be displayed
in more creative ways. I had the feeling that
we all shared this vision together, given that
we have a hunger for our respective
professions and live our lives at 100%.
Once we arrived in Corsica, we got on the water
right away. A Longrider and WinSup was used,
attaching some windsurfing rigs we sailed for
three hours in the crystalline bay waters of
Piantarella, beneath the lens of photographer
Andréas. In Corsica, the landscapes are
spectacular, and we couldn’t help but take
photographs everywhere we went and at
anytime! In the caves, during sunset, along
the seashore, on the water and underwater!
At that moment, the environment, the strong
winds and heavy seas, inspired me. I decided
to jump into the water to do a downwinder
with the Monotipo 11'4". It was a great
opportunity for some improvised photos; I
was paddling hard, riding the small swells
with the Island of Montecristo in the
