Project Professional Windsurfing Association
Role Social Media & Event Manager

Focus Social Media management / Event management / International events / On site coordination / Communication


The Professional Windsurfing Association (PWA) runs the international windsurfing world tour, hosting competitions across different global locations.

I travelled with the tour for several years, working across both media and event organisation.

My role & skills

I started as Social Media Manager, where I was setting up and improving how we worked with social media across events. This included setting up event-based content structures, hashtag strategies and aligning communication between riders, sponsors, industry and the organisation.

A key part of my role was connecting all parties involved, ensuring content was not only created, but also shared in a way that reflected the full story of the tour. During events, I focused on real-time storytelling, increasing visibility and creating a more balanced and engaging view of the athletes, both on and off the water.

Alongside this, I contributed to improving content output, with a stronger focus on video, behind-the-scenes content and new ways of sharing the windsurfing lifestyle with a global audience.

After three years, I moved into the role of Event Manager, taking responsibility for the delivery of international competitions in locations such as Gran Canaria (Spain), Sylt (Germany) and Yokosuka (Japan). I worked closely with the tour manager and local organisers to ensure everything ran as planned.

A dynamic environment where timing is key and multiple elements come together at once.

Impression

Live with an iPhone
in 2019

The story behind this moment is that without my iPhone, and the determination of the team, we would not have captured Enrico Marotti’s first reaction after winning his first ever final on the world tour.

We worked until late the previous day to set up the livestream through our phones. We wanted to stay flexible, both on the beach and on the media boat.

We got it working, and this was the result the next morning.
