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.
