When and where did you start Wing Foiling?
At Lake Garda in August 2021

What’s your watersports history – from which side did you enter Winging?
I started surfing when I was 5 and did also my first steps of windsurfing.

What do you love about Wing Foiling? 
I love all the cool tricks and the light feeling gliding without touching the water surface.

What’s your favourite conditions?
I really like Levante up to 35 knots.

What’s your top advice for a beginner?
Start with the right equipment and with a teacher. Boom is easier at the beginning. Go as soon as possible with a foil. Get the DUOTONE Academy App, watch all the steps as often as possible and get connected with other riders. Also try to start with a friend – that is much more fun.

Boom or handles?
Handles, because it is much more direct in the tricks.
