Today\u2019s post on <b>12-12-12 <\/b>is looking back and time for <b><i>YOU<\/i><\/b> to think back to what you were doing 10 years ago. Did you think back then you would be doing what you are now? Please comment- a little bit like homework only way more FUN.&nbsp; Here\u2019s my take.....<\/p>\n<p>I was 29 in 2002- happened to be my \u201cGolden Year\u201d which means the day you were born and the age you are is the same. July 29th is my day-<\/p>\n<p>I had some pressure to win the PWA Freestyle title- Kev had won both the racing and wave discipline on the tour and if I took home the freestyle win, it would be a Pritchard Sweep...... So needless to say it was game time. I trained with all my might and took home my first world title.<\/p>\n<p>I also got engaged to my lovely wife in December 2002. Wow, what a year......<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to 12-12-12 and I would have to say that I would not have changed a lot. There have definitely been some hardships along the way, but that is part of life..... I\u2019m still living the dream, getting in the water whenever I want and thoroughly enjoying and loving the sport of windsurfing. It is in my blood and provides me with a great lifestyle to hang with my family ( We have a 3 year old boy who knows how to talk a great story) and do things that matter most. What will come in 12-12-22????? Time to start thinking about that and visualizing where we all want to go.... Look forward to Comments from all- big or small!!!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2527\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2527\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2527\" src=\"http:\/\/pritchardwindsurfing.com\/blog2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Image-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Focus Forward\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-2527\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Focus Forward<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking back is sometimes a good thing- you can learn from your past in order to move forward in the future!
