Park or street? Since Zeffi park again. Why? I guess the mom instinct hits and I really have problems to deal with it sometimes.
Cable or boat? I’m never around boats so definitely cable but also I got no money for a boat. ∫ Working on that money hard right now. But my dream is buying an old retro ski boat and a retro car and match them in a golden brown. So I don’t know if it ever will be a wakeboard boat. But I’m happy without any of it too.
Scariest experience in wakeboarding? Whenever you are in the streets.
Best video part ever: Im hyped on single specific tricks and then The Coaltion, FOAMA and so many more.
Contests or filming video parts? For me filming Video parts. But wakeboarding needs both.

One last hot take: dang … don’t forget the fun!
We come to the closing. What’s next for you? Building up my tattoo skills to can afford wakeboarding, finish building our house and 2.0. And than get lost in the woods and you are all welcome on our 2.0. Ehh maybe most of you 😅
I’m so thankful that wakeboarding gives me a place to be both creative and active at the same time. It supports me in both passions, and through CopycatsClub I get the chance to give something back to the community that has given me so much.
Right now, with building our house and working on 2.0, life is incredibly busy. We’re not traveling much, and sometimes it feels like I’ve spent the last two years watching my friends from the sidelines. But that’s okay.
You can’t have everything at the same time. Life moves in seasons, and there will never be 100% in every area all at once. Some seasons are for building, some are for exploring, and some are for growing roots. Right now, I’m grateful for the season I’m in.
Thanks for your time, and all the best to you and your fam for the future.
