When I was 7 years old my mom met my stepdad, who taught me how to surf. I won my first National Surf Competition at 12 and went to my first ISA World Junior Surfing Championship at 13. I compete on both sides of the border. Last year I won second place at the Mexican National Surfing Championship in the under 19 category. I also do environmental work to protect the places where I surf, especially from access issues and water quality. I organized my first beach clean-up when I was 13 and supported the San Miguel State Park project. My mom works at Save The Waves, and I traveled with her and Joao De Macedo to The Azores to support the Surf Protected Area Network program. I'm part of sisstrevolution team.

Lucas loves competing. He surfs in both the Prime USA circuit and the NSSA in Southern California. Currently, he is 13 years old, surfing in both u14 and u16 divisions in both circuits. At the moment, he is ranked 1st in the u14 and 1st in the u16 in the Prime circuit. He is ranked 1st in the NSSA U16 and 3rd in the u14. Lucas won his first Mexican national tile in the u14 at age 8. He also participated in his first ISA when he was 10 years old in Huntington Beach. He spends a significant amount of time traveling between Mexico and San Juan Capistrano, in Southern California, where his dad was originally from. Lucas hopes to have continued success in the amateur surfing ranks and one day make it to the WCT.

That in my family everyone is a surfer, my parents, and my younger suster.
that I started to surf very young (at 6 years old) because my parents love to go to the beach;
that I come from a surf town as Puerto Escondido is,
that we have a very tight surfing community in my town,
that we have amazing waves where Im from but that construction and develpoment are risking our surf spots.
