INTERVIEW

How long have you been kitesurfing?
I’ve been kitesurfing since 2006.

What’s a perfect session for you? 
A perfect session is a good flat spot with 10 knots of wind and beautiful sunshine!

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
I made a long crossing in 3 meter swell on my foil with sharks and killer whales. It was completely crazy!

What is your life philosophy?
When you want, you can!

What is your program for competition this year? 
I will participate in the World Foil Cup and the European Foil Championship. I will do the World and European Race and the French Foil, Race and Speed Crossing Championship.
