How did you get into Kiteboarding?

I first started windsurfing, then wakeboarding and cable; later, because a friend of my dad was a kite instructor, I tried kitesurfing.

In the beginning kitesurfing was just something to do during the weekend in the summer, but after, it became my favorite sport.

What is your favorite trick?

My favorite trick is Heart Attack 5.

What motivated you to become a professional athlete?

I've always been very competitive in everything I do.  I've competed in  almost every sport I've tried.  Since I started taking kiting seriously I started to compete with the target to win.

What is #LiveFreeRideFree for you?

The sense of freedom that you have while you are kiting.

Your motto?

Nothing is impossible, you just need to want it!
