YOUR HOBBIES ASIDE KITEBOARDING?

Fitness, snowboard, mindfulness, music

WHAT DO YOU DO ON A DAY WITHOUT WIND? 

Work on my social media, will hit the gym, go for outdoor activities, hangout with friends, play music, and read books

WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC ARE YOU INTERESTED IN? 

All kind of electronic and techno music, R&B, Reggae.. depends on the vibe

HOW AND WHY DID YOU START KITEBOARDING? 

Duotone inspires me as a company that looks to push its limits and become the best at what they do and is very careful with the environment reducing as much as possible their impact on our planet. Being part of it, motivates me to push myself even more to become a better athlete and person, having the chance to ride the best gear in the market that allows me to perform the best.

WHY ARE YOU RIDING FOR DUOTONE?

They believed in me since day 1 they same why I believe in Duotone! Since I was still an instructor and giving lessons on the beach and till I got sponsored I’ve always felt incredibly happy and blessed to be a part of the brand. From all team riders and everybody that works on the office side, everybody lives and breathes the sport and we share the same passion.

WHAT IS YOUR MAIN GOAL FOR THE FUTURE?

I want to keep inspiring while doing what I love the most. Achieving more results in competitions and making kiteboarding grow even more. I want to make people step out of their comfort zone and go after their dreams; pursue what makes them feel alive. To believe in themselves and to create the life of their dreams.

WHAT TRAINING DO YOU DO TO STAY FIT? 

I do all kinds of training at the gym, weightlifting, interval hiit, different circuits, cardio, mobility and balance training combined with yoga.

WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR JOB IF YOU WOULDN´T BE A PRO KITEBOARDER? 

Maybe I would have become pro windsurfer or snowboarder. But for sure something involved in the sports scene, either as a mentor/coach or journalist.

WHAT´S YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD? 

Sushi never gets old, but I love to try food from different countries and have desserts sometimes hehe but I enjoy eating healthy foods and having a balanced diet.

WHAT DID YOU ALWAYS WANT TO SAY?

Believe in yourself, in the power within you, don’t set any boundaries and dream big.
