Hi everyone, I'm Brigi. I would describe myself as a globetrotter who can never stay in one place for too long. The world is too big, and life is too short to stay in one place and do just one kind of job. Since I discovered Engadin, I would say it has become my base where I always return. Every winter, I came back here to spend the season, and then I started spending summers here as well. Between my travels, I come back here to plan my next destination and to rest from the fatigue of traveling.
Since I love high mountains just as much as palm-fringed beaches, it's hard to choose between the two. So, I spend 6 months here and 6 months somewhere warm. I first encountered kite surfing here in Silvaplana in 2020. Honestly, I started kite surfing because I had no opportunity to surf here. I've been surfing regularly since 2017 and love being in the water. Here, I missed the connection with the water, so I decided to try kite surfing.
I wouldn't say everything started off smoothly at first. I didn't really feel a connection with this sport, and as always, the beginning was difficult. But I didn't want to give up because I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily. So, I kept learning until I mastered at least the basics. Finally, by 2023, I managed to kite surf independently. Then, I found the enjoyment in this sport as well, just like in the others. And now, not a day goes by without me waiting for the wind.
By now, kite surfing is not just a sport for me; it has become an addiction, along with all the other extreme sports I do.
