Hailing from Bavaria, Germany, Florian Gruber can be found honing his foil skills on the lakes there. He is very competitive and has been part of the racing scene since the beginning, placing on the podium numerous times both on the water and at snowkite events. He is hoping to qualify for next year’s Olympics and thus end his racing career on a high!

Flo, you’ve been one of very few kite racers that has truly been able to make racing into a career and have been in the sport for probably the longest. What has been the most interesting part of seeing the sport develop over time?
In the beginning kitesurfing was just a hobby for me. By the time I got better and helped my sponsors to develop some of the equipment, it was always the intention to bring the sport to the next level, performance and quality wise. There is always something to work on and that brings so much variation with it.
