RIDER PROFILE:

Florian Jung G-213

27-yr old German Pro Florian Jung has boosted windsurfing's image in his homeland by putting windsurfing on Prime Time TV and gaining impressive outside sponsorship. He's also kick-starting an innovative Talent Factory program for the next generation of rippers - and living the dream both on and off the Pro Tour. So just how did a kid from land-locked Germany become one of the world's top waveriders?
