Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on September 16, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Gal Fridman! From riding the waves to Olympic glory in 2004 with your golden mistral performance—and let's not forget that bronze beauty from '96—you've truly mastered windsurfing like no other. Clearly, Poseidon himself must have been taking notes!

As a proud member of the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, you've sailed into history books and our hearts alike. May this birthday bring you as much joy (and fewer splashes) than all those victorious moments combined—because legends never age; they just catch better winds.

Here's wishing smooth sailing ahead and plenty more laughs ashore!
