Sam Esteve is a 16 year-old freestyle windsurfer from France and lands Air Skopus and one handed Burners like the big ones.  In July when we saw an Air Skopu by Sam we thought: “This boy’s got skills”.  Now we received an even better Air Skopu and a one handed Burner and we thought: “Now it’s time to get to know some more facts about the young French freestyler.”
