How did you get into kiteboarding / wing foiling?
My parents put me on water skis when I was just 2 years old. I started kiteboarding at 7, began kite foiling at 13, and naturally progressed into all forms of foiling from there. I’ve basically been on the water since I was born - it’s where I feel at home.
What is your favorite trick?
All kinds of backflips - whether it’s behind a boat or off a wave. I love the feeling of rotation and height; it’s where I can really express my style.
What motivated you to become a professional athlete?
Being on the water is my lifestyle. I’ve grown up surrounded by water sports, and pushing my limits on the board gives me a sense of freedom. I’m passionate about progression, and I love sharing that with others.
What is #LiveFreeRideFree for you?
It means having the freedom to enjoy time on the water, doing what I love most, and sharing that passion with friends. It’s about living in the moment and riding with purpose and joy.
Your motto?
Go big or go home.
