3 questions to Marino Gil

24/07/2024

Winner of the Gran Canaria Gloria Windsurf World Cup at Pozo Izquierdo, Marino Gil is now the leader in waves after three 5* events! At 21, he has become one of the youngest contenders for the world title in wave discipline since Philip Köster in 2015, although there is still a long way to go. Interview...

 


Windsurfjournal.com: 2nd in this event at Pozo, winner this year, it's the perfect climb! How did you arrive at this competition, rather confident or tense?
Marino Gil: I was a bit tense to be honest everyone was talking and specting a lot from me, so I was a bit nervous about it! But to be honest I knew I could win so from that part was making me a bit more relax.

 


WJ: What were the most difficult heats, and what did you think of the introduction of this new race format and the repechage table at quarter-final level?
MG: The new format was hard cause one you lose you know you won’t have a chance to win again, so it was a nice adventure all the way to the final! All the heats were hard, but for sure the semis was one of the hardests!

 


WJ: This victory at Pozo Izquierdo means that you now lead the provisional annual rankings in the wave discipline. How does that make you feel?
MG : I’m super stoked about, to be honest! It's one of the best feelings ever, I know it’s gonna be hard to keep it going, but I will try my best for sure!!!
