INFO

WHEN AND WHERE DID YOU START WING FOILING? I started wing foiling during the Fanatic/Duotone photo shoot in Maui in 2019, it was the first time I saw a wing foil and I was lucky enough have my first wing session with all the team at Kanaha.

WHAT’S YOUR WATERSPORTS HISTORY – FROM WHICH SIDE DID YOU ENTER WINGING? When I was 7 or 8 years old, I began watersports with surfing and windsurfing, I also used to kitesurf a lot, but my main discipline over the last years was stand up paddling. I have been competing on the professional SUP race circuit for 8 years now.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT WING FOILING? I love riding the ocean swell and the bumps, this is one of the best feelings I have with a water sport.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE CONDITIONS? Wind coming from the left, 20 knots and long waves!

WHAT’S YOUR TOP ADVICE FOR A BEGINNER? I advise beginners to get a big board and a big foil in order to take off easily. It can help to be a bit overpowered also.
