Configuração de Equipamento Favorita
Sou bastante novo na equipe, então ainda não experimentei completamente todo o equipamento, mas até agora experimentei a vela Dice SLS de 8,9 metros com a prancha Jaime SLS de 136 para saltos altos e adoro essa combinação! Ainda estou muito ansioso para experimentar o Evo e o Rebel antes de escolher minha vela favorita para saltos altos.

Para Freestyle, eu adoro a Vegas 11m com a prancha Team series SLS 142.

Maior Conquista Profissional
Campeão Mundial de Freestyle e 2º e 3º lugar no King Of The Air.

YOUR HOBBIES ASIDE KITEBOARDING?

I love all board sports; Surfing, Snowboarding, skating and I am also very into playing Tennis at the moment.

WHAT DO YOU DO ON A DAY WITHOUT WIND?

Work a bit on my laptop, either editing content or working on my Kite Center project and I always try to do some sport, probably go to the gym or play tennis.

WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?

Rap, house and techno!

HOW AND WHY DID YOU START KITEBOARDING? 

It was mainly through my dad. He was a watersports enthusiast, Windsurfing since he was young and then he got into kiting once he discovered it. I would always come down to the beach and watch him and I guess it seemed very attractive to me. I took my first lesson In Tarifa at the age of 8!

WHY ARE YOU RIDING FOR DUOTONE?

I think it’s my destiny to ride Duotone. I have always looked up to the brand and feel that I have gotten to a stage in my career that I have to be with the leading brand. Besides this I love the huge range of gear that they have and I have now gotten to know some people from inside the company and It has been a pleasure working with them so far.

WHAT IS YOUR MAIN GOAL FOR THE FUTURE?

I really want to take Kitesurfing to the next level. Big projects, bigger events, more prize money e.t.c Personally I want to continue to achieve great results and leave a legacy behind!

WHAT TRAINING DO YOU DO TO STAY FIT? 

I do a lot of alternative training off the water. Balance, coordination, mobility, flexibility. Discovering new ways of moving the body. Mostly stuff with my own body weight. I have a trainer that helps me with this.

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

I think I would always be an athlete of some sport. Before Kiting I was very into Skateboarding and before that it was football so I’ve always been trying to be the best at some sport.

WHAT´S YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD? 

Sushi 100% but anything that is healthy works for me.
