Bastian is happiest while in the ocean or near it. He absolutely loves surfing and being in contact with nature. His first encounter with surfing was when he was around 3 years old while in Morroco. He couldn't swim so he had floaties in his arms whilst his father pushed him in small but perfect waves. Raised in a surfing family, he lives in Punta Hermosa, surrounded by all-year-round waves. He has represented Peru two times at the South American Championship and is very proud of representing his country for the ISA Junior World Surfing games. He enjoys traveling, getting to know new waves and meeting new people who share the same passion. He has spent the last two seasons in the North Shore of Hawaii, surfing waves such as Rocky Point, Pipeline and Waimea. In 2022 Bastian was invited to the Red Bull Rising event in Brazil, hosted by Adriano de Souza. Bastian has been U12 Surfing National Champion in 2018 and since then he has always achieved podium. He has been U14 South American Champion in 2022 and finished 3rd at the South American Championship in the U16 in 2023. Bastian also loves skateboarding, becoming Peruvian National Bowl Champion in 2018.

It's my first international championship outside my country. I'm very focused in achieving good results and doing my best efforts representing my country and learn from this valuable experience.
