Q - Was it tough getting back into the groove of things or was it like riding a bike ?
A - Coming back from an injury ain ’ t easy but coming back from 30 liters of poison is something completely different . I ’ ve never felt so weak , in pain and out of it before . Taking it easy ain ’ t my strongest part either but it was oh so important to make a full and quick recovery . By working together with a naturopath we were able to flush all the heavy metals and toxins out of my body in 6 months . This normally takes a year . We could ’ ve done it quicker but we choose to use the benefits of the after effects of the chemo . As soon as I was back to full strength I was in my happy place and training zone . Then being back on the water with new gear is just so exciting . Way more exciting than riding a bike !
Q - You are an inspiration to many people , but what inspires you ?
A - Hah , I hear that a lot . I ’ m glad people feed of my energy and actions . What fills me up with motivation and drive to do what I love is a combination of things . I ’ ve got a passion for life in general so I get inspired by a lot of people whom I get to meet , work with , kite with or simply drink a beer with . It can be kids that are more free and alive than the majority of the world . Happiness and freedom inspire me most I guess .
