I grew up at Lake Neusiedl in Austria, where I got into windsurfing and participated in the first European and World Cup events. I have been involved for more than 10 years in international windsurf tours and dedicated everything I had to windsurfing. I am a multiple Austrian Champion and had top 10 rankings in european and international events. One of my highlights was the 4th place at the PWA Worldcup Freestyle Indoor Event in Warsaw. As I have never been at the very top, I found my path in creating unique windsurf projects, such as windsurfing underground or on a skyscraper in Vienna. This led me into photography and videography, where I found my second big passion and work after my active windsurfing career. Now, I focus on being a good free-sailer, creating unique pictures, and spreading the joy of windsurfing as an ambassador of the sport.
