Hello I'm Laura, 20 years old, the third of a big family. Currently studying and living in Porto (Portugal): I'm at the fourth year of dentistry, and perhaps should be studying now but I can say that this is definitely better. Here I mostly train in the Douro river, fighting with its current, and when possible I move to the ocean to catch some waves. This is my 5th ISA experience, but I'm still very excited. I love the team and can't wait to fight once more, so everyone FORZA ITALIA!

During this period of competitons i was focused more in sup racing because in my home town in italy the sea is mostly flat or small swells so i could train a lot in the sea without waves... meanhile i was winning sup racing competitions i become the 5th best atlete in the world between 2016 and 2018 but i discovered that Sup surfing attract me a bit more and then when i was makaing a living out of my passion i moved to portugal to take care of my surfing part..
