Host John Sandiford travels to Aruba to meet Sarah-Quita Offringa, who's dominated the ocean with 25 world titles, but she isn’t finished. In this episode of the SunSide Kingdom Show, the Aruban icon opens up about facing her fears in monster waves, why retiring at your “peak” is overrated, life beyond the podium, what scares her most, her love affair with windsurfing, and staying Caribbean strong. 

"If I’m not competing, I fear falling into an abyss of nothingness." — Sarah-Quita Offringa

Welcome to SunSide Kingdom! The place where we highlight Dutch Caribbean role models making an impact in the world.
