  • I love surfing since
    I tried it when I was 8.

    I started surfing because
    of my parents.

    Why did you choose CAMARO?
    They use quality materials

    Three things I carry ALWAYS with me when surfing:
    Screw driver, suncream and a 2nd wetsuit.

    Go surfing means to me:
    Freedom

    My biggest goal,
    to never stop enjoying life.

    Surfing in summer and … in winter? 
    Yes, but when it snows I prefer to ski ;-)
     
    How would you describe your surf style? 
    Relaxed, because I don’t worry if I have a good or bad session as long as I enjoy it. 

    What is your preferred location for surfing?
    My favourite places are Colombia and Brazil. 

    With whom would you like to be tuned to the same wavelength?Who is your hero on the surfboard?
    Jason Polakow, he’s always riding the biggest waves ever. 

    My favourite word for water is
    Ocean.

    There is nothing better in this world than
    a great session on the water with your friends.

    Favourite meal:
    Lasagna

    Favourite song:
    I don’t have a favourite song.

    Favourite movie:
    The Other Guys

    Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
    Hopefully doing something similar to what I am doing now.

    What is your motto?
    It’s all in your head.

    What are your greatest successes?
    I finished the PWA event in Lanzarote in 2010 in 4th place.  I’ve been ranked top 10 on the PWA World Tour for 3 years now. 

    What are you afraid of most? 
    Crazy windsurfers crashing into me in Brazil.
