In 2020, the De Jong family moved from The Netherlands to Bonaire. Previously engaged in field hockey, the absence of a hockey club on Bonaire prompted them to explore other sports. Windsurfing, a prevalent activity on the island, captured their heart. The exhilarating speed and power of windsurfing provide them with a significant rush of adrenaline. In 2023, they participated in their first PWA slalom race in Fuerteventura, becoming the youngest competitors ever. Their expertise spans various disciplines including windsurf slalom on fin and foil, wingfoil, and some freestyle. This year, their primary focus is on slalom. While aiming to attend all PWA events, they prioritize their studies. They diligently rush to complete their homework every day, eager to maximize their time on the water.
I love to be on the water all day and everyday. It is my life.
I want to become Worldchampion and to race all around the world.
FAVORITE SAIL
RS:RACING EVOXV
SLALOM RACING / FOIL RACING
Due to the overwhelming success of our 2023 RS: Racing EVOXIV, the EVOXV design is closely based on that of the EVOXIV, but with technological advancements from the introduction of new materials: Taffeta in the upper luff sleeve and Lite Skin Aramid in the clew.
The new materials have allowed us to improve durability and increase stretch resistance to create an even more responsive and competitive race sail.
