Weendy: Tell us how you started windsurfing.
Camille: Guadeloupe has been my home since I started windsurfing. It’s really [good] to learn in the Caribbean cause the wind is not too strong, it is consistent and there are some easy waves. Now I’m just choosing the best session which is pretty rare and light wind but so good. We have a little crew always motivated so it’s a pleasure.
Weendy: How did you get into competing? We’ve seen you in some PWA events in the past, now it looks like you are 100% focused on the AWT Tour.
Camille: I started competing in the PWA first when I was 15 cause my sponsors wanted, and I wanted to try everything.
And then I think I got addicted and I choose the AWT because I liked the spots better and I just love doing this tour.
