#28 – Ross Williams – The Windsurfing Podcast
Ross Williams is probably the best all around windsurfer of the 2010s. Top5 across 4 disciplines, the Isle of Wight native never won a Slalom or Wave World Title but he’s one the most respected competitors on the scene. Why? And why did he not win that elusive slalom title that he came so close to? How did he even get there coming from pretty modest beginnings? And is the end for Ross or is the competitve hunger gonna come back after taking a year off in 2021? All that and much more on the newest Windsurfing Podcast!
