Personal Watercraft Insurance, Getting To Know: Jutta Lammi
DESTINED FOR PRO SKIING
“I come from one of those crazy ski families where the parents teach their kids that skiing comes first. My dad has built a really cool site for us, and thanks to having my family spending most of our time together at the lake, I know I can keep skiing no matter what. One of the coolest things about becoming a professional skier was that it just swept me in; there was nothing to plan about it.”
APPROACH TO THE RAMP
“It’s only been a few times that I’ve managed to turn my skis from that wide spot on the boat and continue my cut all the way to the ramp and really carry all my speed and direction. That’s the intensity I’m after, and it’s actually pretty cool to know that I have more to work with.”
TRAVELING THE WORLD TO COMPETE
“It took me a while to realize that it’s OK to admit that pro tournaments are pretty stressful. After I came to terms with it, I no longer had to wonder whether I was tough or cool enough, and I’ve been able to enjoy all the trips and the adrenaline of competing a lot more. Aside from the experiences on the water, I really do love traveling, observing different cultures, trying new foods and exploring new places.”
BIGGEST WIN
“Winning the Moomba Masters in 2013 in front of the huge crowd was an unbelievable experience, especially because it was the first big pro tournament I took part in.”
