BIO
I live in Mera, Galicia, in the Northwest of Spain. It’s an undeveloped area of the country with good waves and strong winds. I have always been drawn to watersports, starting to surf at seven, and eventually coming to SUP Surfing – and it instantly clicked.
A year later I met my current team, SUPmera, where I discovered new sports such as SUP Racing, Windfoil, etc… Since then I began to further develop my skills in these sports, beginning to compete in events at the National and International level, and little then finding myself at the top of the podium in Big Events.
I love competing and improving myself day after day, facing new goals that exceed my expectations, and above all, never giving up. My ideal conditions are heavy waters and downwind runs, where I feel very comfortable and enjoy this wonderful sport to the fullest.
That’s all! See you on the water!!!!
