Robby Swift - Twenty Five Years Later | Unpacking the Boardbags: PWA World Tour

In 2000, a British kid burst on to the PWA scene fresh out of the Maui Ocean Academy - freestyle, racing, wave - he did it all and took his first World Cup victory in 2003 in Fuerteventura in Freestyle. Most thought this would be the first of many, but a career plagued by injuries at critical moments, denied Swift from further successes. Twenty Five years later, and still reaching World Cup finals, the time has come for Robby to explore different waves and redefine his priorities. Family time, life on Maui and hunting new locations... its not the last we're going to see of Swifty with two events this season on his doorstep, but he's no longer going to be following the tour that has defined his life thus far.

Filmed in Sylt at the Miramar Hotel, we Unpack the Boardbags and Robby talks about how hard it is now to make a living as a pro windsurfer, the good old days where with one season's prize money you could buy a house, injuries, gnarly crashes at Jaws, Red Bull Storm Chase, future plans and what it's like raising two groms on Maui...

Stay tuned to the PWA Channels for all the action and updates!
