Robby, who or what inspires you?
Everything I do in the water. I love windsurfing and surfing. I love to do big aerials windsurfing and get barrelled surfing. Kelly Slater is my idol. I would like to be still innovating and pushing my peers when I am 40+ years old! I hope my body let us me do it!

If you had to pick two surfers, dead or alive, to go surf with. Who would they be and where would you go?
I am very lucky that I get to go windsurfing with the very best windsurfers in the world every day. I couldn't wish for a better lifestyle. I love going on trips with Jason Polakow because he knows people everywhere and we get to sail some of the most insane spots on earth. I also like sailing with Marcilio Browne as he motivates me to train to get the best out of my sailing and Ricardo Campello and Philip Koster because they jump so high!.

Which is the best city on earth and why?
I am not really a city fan. I like the beach.

Do you have your own way of life? What do you want to achieve next?
Yes. I like to be happy, comfortable wherever I am. I like to eat healthy food: Fish, chicken, salad, quinoa, vegetables. I like to cook at home as I find that is where I get the best food. I run 4 times a week and try to surf or windsurf at least 5 times a week when I am near the water. I dont drink very often and try to enjoy every day whatever the conditions, but I look forward to the big days!. I would like to regain my position on the podium, preferably better than the 3rd place that I achieved in 2009. Best for me would be to be world champion! I would also like to win the Red Bull Storm Chase.

Last words for today Robby?
Just that I am happy to be aboard the team! Swox seems to be a really cool brand and a very necessary product that keeps my skin from getting sunburned through the many many hours I spend on the water so I'm happy to be here and wish the whole Swox team all the best for 2013!
