#21 – Maciek Rutkowski – The Windsurfing Podcast
Maciek Rutkowski is your weekly podcast host. But he just happens to be a professional windsurfer himself. From getting his ass handed to him to sailing Jaws and winning a PWA World Tour event the Pole has been through almost every possible emotion a person can go through while pursuing a career in the sport. And he shares it all right here, with Ben Proffitt stealing his usual interviewer role. Strap in for a tale of sleeping in equipment tents, fistfights on the racecourse, dirty secrets of sponsorship deals, and how to perform at the highest level.
