Costa Rica pura vida

All the best ! Keep paddling

Thanks god ! 

I'm an ocean enthusiast, passionate for SUP Race, SUP Surf and Surf. And also passionate for all sports. I'm currently doing a degree in Sports Science. Love competing and what I can know with everything involved. 

I was born and raised in Costa Rica. After graduating high school in San Jose I attended University in British Columbia, Canada. I moved to Hawaii after completing my degree and started working at Kukio Golf and Beach Club. SUP had just started and I learned how to paddle and got hooked. I entered some local races and had success and was invited to race the inaugural Battle of the Paddle in 2008. I won the race which catapulted me into my SUP career. I followed up the BOP win with a win at the 2009 Molokai to Oahu race, to date my proudest racing accomplishment. In 2010, Morgan Hoesterey and I paddled all of the channels in Hawaii to raise awareness against plastics in the ocean. I spent 2010-2015 traveling around the world competing in a variety of events. 2013 was a highlight year with close runner-up finishes at Carolina Cup, Molokai 2 Oahu and the Battle of the Paddle. My son was born in 2017 and I've spent the last 5 years enjoying watching him grow up. Training looks different now with my son and a full time job (I'm the manager of Outdoor Pursuits at Kukio) but it's been awesome getting back into it. It's been 6 years since my last competitive event but I'm excited to be back, I've missed the community! 

So happy to be able to join a Stand Up Paddleboard world competition 

and really stoked to represent my town and my country Costa Rica 

I'm a lifeguard and an ISA / ILS course presenter, surfer, father, brother, and I'm just super stoked to be here!
