KJELL: So Sky, Ken… take me back to how you both found yourselves in water sports.
SKY: I grew up in a family where my first memories were made on the beach windsurfing with my parents. I’ve always been around water sports. Luckily, I’ve been able to follow a path that allows me to do this as a career. It’s something I’d definitely be doing even if it wasn’t my job. Like you said, it’s a lifestyle and something I do to keep myself happy and fit. Hopefully I’ll keep on doing it for a long time!
KEN: From my side, I grew up sailing. My dad had boats. He bought them, worked on them, and sailed them. When I was about 20, I started windsurfing and that’s how I got my sailing fix from then onward. It’s been an interesting journey from windsurfing to kiting, with the occasional excursion into SUP surfing and surf foiling, and then on to wing foiling. I find that surf, downwind, and kite foiling are fairly difficult. Wing foiling is pretty easy in comparison, so I think foiling will experience its greatest growth with the addition of the wing.
KJELL: Given that, how does foiling fit into your routines?
SKY: It’s been an amazing addition to my quiver of toys for the last few years, that’s for sure! All the days when we’d go to the beach and the wind and waves weren’t that good, you could only go out and do big airs for so many hours before getting bored. I found myself always waiting for those
