Transfer Season

Naish: "We’re thrilled to welcome Julian to the Naish team! As one of the most exciting riders on the scene, Julian brings passion, skill, and dedication to the water—making him a perfect fit for Naish. With his deep love for windsurfing and multi-discipline approach to water sports, we can’t wait to see what we accomplish together."

Why Naish?

Julian has always been drawn to Naish’s long-standing heritage in windsurfing. “Naish is one of the most traditional windsurfing brands that exist, and I am incredibly proud to work with such an amazing brand,” he shares. For Julian, joining Naish is about more than just riding—it's about collaborating to develop and promote the best windsurf and water sports gear out there.

What truly sealed the deal? The fact that Naish is a multi-water sports brand, allowing him to spend as much time on the water as possible. “Naish provides all the gear I need to maximise my time on the water. It’s the perfect fit!”

A Passion for Windsurfing

Julian’s journey into windsurfing started early, thanks to his parents—both passionate windsurfers themselves. “I was hooked from a young age,” he says. Moving to Tenerife gave him the opportunity to train extensively, and from then on, he dedicated every free moment to improving his skills.

That dedication has paid off in competition, with back-to-back podium finishes on the PWA World Tour last year, including second place in Pozo and third in Tenerife. But beyond contests, Julian cherishes the moments spent at remote point breaks with just a friend and a camera crew, capturing the pure essence of windsurfing.
