Sam Light: What are your favourite disciplines? What Slingshot equipment have you tried already and how did you like it?
Jeremy Burlando: I can do everything when I have a board under me! But my main disciplines are BIG AIR where I use the RAPTOR V1 so I can be sure that I have enough hangtime to do some sick boardoffs and for FREESTYLE I’m using the RPM V12 for the best pop and slack to land my handle passes, now I’m getting also into Freestyle strapless and waveriding with the SCI-FLY 4’8 where t everything is possible and easy to do!
Sam Light: How has Covid-19 affected your plans this summer? Has it changed your idea’s, views or goals in kiting?
Jeremy Burlando: COVID-19 has affected my plans, like many other people’s plans. Fortunately I now I have had some time on the water alone where I could train even harder for next year competitions.
