All Or Nothing
Windsurf|Issue 367 - July 2017

Known for his all or nothing approach, Antoine Albeau needs little introduction. Multiple world titles and an icon of our sport; he is and always will be a windsurfing legend. Last year saw him lose his PWA world champion crown but gain a son. At such a significant time in his life, a reflective Antoine shares his thoughts with John Carter on the current state of slalom, foiling, winning and family.

FAMILY MAN

My life has changed for sure because we have a new member in the family. It is a positive thing for me because I wanted to have children for a few years now. There is a lot of different organization now we have our son travelling with us. I feel that I am strong in the way I organize my travel and lifestyle so it is not so much of a problem. Paula is super good with Alini, she really takes care of him and we are a solid team so it is perfect. They are travelling with me to Korea and Japan and any other events where it works. Most of the other events are in Europe so that will be easier. I always wanted to have children and now I have a son it feels awesome. When I was 18-20 maybe I did not think about, it but now I am older (44) the time feels right.
