ACHIEVEMENTS

I started surfing at the age of 6 in Playa Grande, Mar del Plata, Argentina, with my parents Cachito and Laura, both surfers and lovers of the sea and the beach. From an early age, I knew I wanted to surf big waves. In my city and country, we only have small waves, and the lack of money made my path very difficult. However, after finishing my studies, I began working to afford to travel, train, and develop the skills needed to reach the highest level of big wave surfing. My goal is to surf the biggest waves in the world and prepare for international championships. My ultimate ambition is to join the WSL Big Wave Tour and earn enough to support my family.

-I won the event “Mi Ola del año 2018 x Quiksilver” for the best big wave of the year 2018 (Argentina-only event).
