Mizo Interview

Can you tell us a bit more about your passion for foiling?

Foiling has brought a whole new way of enjoying the waterworld. There is no comparable sensation to when we ride fast, frictionless and silently.

You just won the lottery, what would you do first?

That’s a good one! Definitely keep working hard, invest, triple the money, help people, buy a sailboat, and live a simple life enjoying the lifestyle I love.
