ACHIEVEMENTS

Growing up in Australia, being by the ocean is in my blood. I learnt to surf from 3 years old before I could swim so my whole life has been about getting into the ocean and enjoying it. Surfing has been my life ever since a kid however where I grew up it was always windy so then around 10 years old I began to learn kitesurfing from my family. As a kid I wanted of follow in my family’s footsteps so I learnt as fast as I could.  As soon as I got up riding I loved it and as soon as I could I started competing. The following years would lead me to a lot of learning about mindset, discipline, confidence and what it takes to become a champion. It was my dream to become world champion since a small child and that was and still is my main goal. Not only for the title but for the strength, discipline and resilience it takes to put yourself into that position. After dedicating my life to this goal I can now claim 3x World titles at the age of 25 and a mindset which brings me to these situations that constantly test me.  

Growing up where I did we have extreme ocean conditions and big waves were something that if you wanted to surf, you had to tackle. Not that that was a problem as I loved the adrenaline from the beginning. The last few years have been solely about pushing myself to find what’s possible and how far I can take my life. Nazare and big wave surfing brings a whole new aspect to this, it has become a huge part of my life and I’m looking forward to pushing my limits and really finding out what’s possible.
