3 questions to Maria Morales Navarro

28/09/2022

Currently competing at the Mercedes-Benz Windsurf World Cup Sylt in Germany, Maria Morales Navarro from the Canary Islands made a name for herself at the beginning of the month by winning the world title in the Under 17 wave discipline in Klitmöller, Denmark. At 16 years of age, and visibly more determined than ever, she reflects on her recent performance.

 


Windsurfjournal.com: Could you first introduce yourself and tell us how you discovered windsurfing?
Maria Morales Navarro: My name is Maria Morales Navarro, I am 16 years old, and I am from Tenerife (Granadilla de Abona). My passion for windsurfing was born because my father has been a fan of this sport since he was young and well, when I was 7 years old, one day I rented a small windsurfing material, since that day I practically go to the water whenever there is wind.

 


WJ: You won this year the U17 category on the PWA World Tour and you are also 7th in the world in the senior category before the event in Sylt in Germany, what do these good results inspire you?
MMN: The truth is that I am super happy to have won this year in the U17 category, more than anything because I have trained hard every day to try to make this happen. Apart from being very happy that there are more and more girls since this year is the first that I have not had to go up in category since there have been girls in my category. About Sylt, I am very excited and hopeful to the fullest, because if I get a good competition I could be in the top 5 of women that as a challenge for this year I see it very well.

 


WJ: At 16, you still have your whole future ahead of you, what do you want to do next in your career?
MMN: My medium-long term project is to train as hard as I can to be fully prepared to compete with the best in the world and try to be world champion in the absolute category.
