How I started:
With my father 10 years ago in Las Palmas. He bought me a Tiga 250 and I was able to sail some days in Las Canteras Beach when he could come with me. I couldn´t sail alone, as I was still too young and small! I could only really start to sail by myself when I was fourteen. Then I thought I´m young and live in the best place for practising windsurfing, why not try to be a pro? I went to Pozo every day for training and got to a good level. Later I started to do some Spanish contests in 1999, where I was very successful straight away. Since then my level has continued to improve and last year I prooved that I can beat everyone at my home spot. Even the big names like Polakow and Goya!
Best windsurfing day in my life:
Every day i go windsurf i got always new and fantastic things and feelings soo i cant not say exactly my best windsurf day.
Other sponsors beside Fanatic:
Renault, Simmer Sails
My Goals:
My goals are to go to all the PWA wave events where I will try to do my best and I really hope to get better results. Keep improving, get more coverage and dont get any injuries;-)
My thougthts are travel as much as i can this season for an upcoming Fanatic DVD I´ve been travelling a lot last season and i want to keep doing it, also I gonna keep improving my starboardtack sailing and im working to get better performance mentally and physically doing diferents things stretching, a bit of gym and trying to think always positive when I´m competing.
Im excited this season because im doing things I never did before and I am more focussed on my way. I think if I keep I will for sure get better results like this.
My Slogan:
You can do it!
