Who I am

From the Baltic to the world

For more than a decade, Nico Prien has been one of the most successful and recognisable windsurfers of his generation — a multiple international champion and long-standing athlete on the Professional Windsurfing Tour, pairing elite performance with a genuine passion for innovation, nature and constant personal growth.

His career has carried him to the most remote corners of the planet, where wind, waves and ever-shifting conditions demand total focus, adaptability and split-second decisions.

You can't control the wind — so you learn to treat uncertainty as opportunity, and to stay calm, clear and confident when everything around you is changing.

Off the water, Nico has built a career as an entrepreneur, content creator and brand ambassador — with one of windsurfing's most-loved YouTube channels and an authentic, international voice that reaches far beyond the sport.
