Hit by a storm of falling grades, his coach’s departure and a goal-less future, windsurfer Reynold Chan decided to call it quits in 2019.
After a four-year hiatus, he finally got back on a board and on the waters off East Coast Park, his old haunt from his days as a national windsurfer last August. He said: “To be honest, I took part mainly for fun, to enjoy, to race among the LT class. Part of it was also ‘If I can win, I will just try’.
His European outing at Lake Garda did not go smoothly at first, as he fell in his first race and dropped to fourth in the lightweight category. His sporting results also come in tandem with his academic success. Making it to university freed him up to compete. The flexible academic schedule also allows him to better manage his time between studies and training.
