Meet Julia Pasquale from Gran Canaria! Julia is a very talented windsurfgirl and big fan of our Grip XS. Together with her brother Valentino she grew up in the windsurfing mecca Pozo which helped a lot to learn fast. In 2018 she finished 2nd in the PWA Junior World Tour in Pozo Under 17 and 1st in Tenerife Under 17 and Under 20. We had a quick talk with the 16 year-old:

At what age did you start Windsurfing? I started windsurfing when I was 10 years old! I took lessons at Pozowind’s windsurfing school at Bahía de Formas beach, a flat water spot nearby my house.

Who/what did that inspire you to start Windsurfing? I was inspired specially by my elder brother Valentino Pasquale who started windsurfing two years before me. He seemed so happy in the water and I could not stop watching him.  Eventually I wanted to feel the same, so I decided to try it as well and got addicted to ride very fast! We have a nice community of windsurfers here in Pozo, so a lot of my friends are sharing the stoke with me! And last but not least my parents are both windsurfing as well.
