BALZ MÜLLER

THE LOWDOWN

Known as one of the most innovative riders in the recent history of windsurfing, Balz Müller is transforming windsurfing as we know it with his unique crazy style. From inventing, some of the craziest freestyle moves such as the Shifty to now starting the Foil style revolution at his home lake in Switzerland.

Balz has no limits and might be the most entertaining person to watch on the water when he’s not working as a gardener.
