THE BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENTS IN YOUR KITEBOARDING CAREER? 10 times freestyle world champion

YOUR HOBBIES ASIDE FROM KITEBOARDING? Surfing, road bike, enduro bike, paragliding, skydiving, hiking with my dog Fly.

WHAT DO YOU DO ON A DAY WITHOUT WIND? I have so many hobbies so it’s easy for me to do other sports but I like to take a rest day. I enjoy making a good coffee, reading, watching some series, walking my dog in the sunset :)

WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?

I love rock and indie music. 

HOW AND WHY DID YOU START KITEBOARDING?

I started flying kites when I was 6 years old, actually, I tried to build my own but didn’t fly well so my dad bought me a kite. The first time I saw my dad kiting and having so much fun I was so surprised and decided I wanted to learn too. From that day until now kitesurfing has been my passion.

WHY ARE YOU RIDING FOR DUOTONE? I recently joined the team and what I like the most about Duotone is that the gear is just perfect. In each discipline, they have the best of the best. I would trust another brand and I believe is the best support an athlete could have.

WHAT IS YOUR MAIN GOAL FOR THE FUTURE: I dedicated the past 4 years to training to go to the Olympics. I managed to go to Paris this past summer. My goal for the future is to combine being an Olympic athlete and doing LA 2028, plus being a water woman who does all the disciplines. I'm considering competing in freestyle again :)

WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR JOB IF YOU HADN´T BEEN A PRO KITEBOARDER? I love music, I recently started playing guitar. I think I could have dedicated myself to music, production or maybe even playing in a band!

WHAT´S YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD? I love sushi the most! Also, Spanish / Mediterranean food is great.

WHAT DID YOU ALWAYS WANT TO SAY? I would like to send a message to everyone and encourage them to take care of the planet as it is our home. It doesn't matter how much, every little counts. For a more sustainable future, we all have to do our job!
