"It has been a goal of mine to bring together the women of our sport and other sports so we can work together to achieve our goals as well as dreams." "Tiffany Ward has established herself as a real pro
windsurfer at an amazing pace, due to her endless determination and hard work. Intensive
physical and mental training in combination with a natural talent has brought Tiffany to
where she is within the record time of only two years. Today she is living Maui in and out
of the windsurfing community. Her down to earth, optimistic, energetic go for it attitude
has helped her attract several industry sponsors that she is working closely with on
promotions and development. Tiffany has made her dreams a reality." From "Tiffanys Tracks" at www.star-board.com "For a graduation present from culinary school my parents gave me a trip to Maui, Hawaii. On October 3rd 2001 I arrived in Kahului airport and sailed on my first real wave. I was instantly and truly addicted to Maui’s lifestyle and unreal conditions. The second time sailing Hookipa my fin ripped a 5inch long and 3-1/2 inch deep gash in my left thigh requiring over 55 stitches. Ouch. This serves as my sacrificial offering to the island Gods and a permanent memento of Mother Nature’s power. ... I sailed every day I could in Maui and began training with the legendary Jennifer Henderson. My mentor and friend. ... I would like to encourage anyone dreaming of becoming a professional windsurfer to do it. Windsurfing takes me around the world, to meet good friends, explore exciting new places and the endless challenges on the water. It is inspiring, educational and most of all,- FUN. During my first stay in Maui I was fortunate to meet Daida and Iballa Moreno. They were the ones who first introduced me to the world of windsurfing and encouraged me to join the PWA Tour. Packing for pleasure My favorite was what I like to call “packing for pleasure!” First you need a nice big split Dakine bag, stuffed with 10 pairs of jeans, a stack of shirts, four pairs of shoes and belts. A G-string for every day of the week of course, 1 labtop, 2 pornos, 2 pocket rocket (one back up), an iPod and a sick digital camera…. Oh and one nice healthy “man bitch” to lug your equipment around from country to country! Just kidding a “man helper!” Silvia and I were at the head of the dance floor getting freaky-dickey, I even saw Karin “shaking that ass.” ... Even Karin and I hung out and little bit, mostly after a couple beers, other wise I think I’m a bit too much for her! Besides pursuing a professional windsurfing career, I am in partnership with Silas Thompson in Infinity Production. A filming and Photography Company, established in 2002, based in Maui/Oregon."
what do you train right now: waves, freestyle
