Ronny Kiaulehn was born in a little town near Munich, Germany
in 1968. He received his first camera, an Agfa Pocket on his 6 birthday, then bought a Pentax ME with his brother when he was 12. At 14, Kiaulehn had the key to his school’s darkroom, from then on; he spent more time developing his photos than focusing on school work. It was at the same time that Kiaulehn discovered windsurfing. In 1986, he moved to the Canary Islands in pursuit of his dream to become a professional windsurfer. Kiaulehn was already shooting windsurfing as well as his friends in and around the water at the time.
