Knowing Simon Wichtermann

After the 2011 New Caledonia event, Airush sat down to get Simon Wichtermann about his riding this year.  I’ve known Simon since 08-09 and its always good to see him ripping at his local flatwater spot!  Super talented and one of the friendliest and energetic person you might meet.
