Both my parents were (and still are!) windsurfers so I started very young. However, I mostly just sailed on holidays and never heard of freestyle until I went to Jericoacoara in Brazil for the first time in 2008 when it all came together. Doing gymnastics and windsurfing for many years, I improved fast and in 2010 I entered my first competitions.
After finishing my Bachelor degree I decided to focus 100% on windsurfing.
In 2013 I became Vice World Champion in Freestyle on the PWA Tour. The years after I also competed in slalom and waves and started giving Windsurf (and yoga) clinics around the world.
