Biography
I started windsurfing in 1978...in 1980 I had one of the first speed machine: Menini 3 points(from Garda Lake with unreal coloration!!!) In1981 I stopped windsurfing for logistic problem...too young ,no car...no way to go to the beach!( start boxing ) ...so in the water, just fishing and surfing...till 1998. Windsurfing again but just waveriding: 2 months at Cape Town( Jannuary-March '99) and I was back on board!!! In the 2005 I bought this "strange" slalom equipment and with a very good friend( Ale...Comerla) we was catched by the SPEED FEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
