CEDRIC BORDES
I was born in Marseille, France and started windsurfing at the age of 13 years old. Before this age, I was playing soccer. I never thought that I could be a professional windsurfer one day but when I was at university I got a deal with Tabou (2005) to compete at slalom events + doing their R&D for their whole line and a bit later I joined Gaastra (2007). It was a blast and since then I am on tour. Thanks to my 2 original sponsors I have been able to train and go on the best location of the world. I learned a lot how a company is working and what is really important or not at the end of the day. I have now a familie with 2 kids and want to have a bit less responsability than before to focus more on my own sailing and racing. With Severne giving me the opportunity to strive towards a common goal, I am super happy to sail next to Matteo and the whole team who are pushing together the gear and the sport.
See you on the water, Cedric
