- Funny Anne
Anne-Marie Reichman is living her dream.
The Dutch windgirl, to whom "windsurfing means the world", has a close
relationship to the ocean and her sport. And of course to Scott McKercher, her boyfriend
and travel mate, who finally made her move to his home Western Australia. Besides doing
travel stories, promos for Roxy and Naish and competing in PWA wave competitions
"Funny Anne" (as she calls herself) does yoga every morning and paints with oil
and acrylics. Once Anne-Marie was described like this: "She has a smile that can warm
the North Sea."
