I was born and raised in Austria, a landlocked country far from the sea. However, I discovered the sport of surfing on a trip to France at the age of 17. From that moment on, I was hooked, and two years later, I made the decision to move to Portugal. Today, I am living on the Canary Islands and my journey as a surfer has led me to appreciate the importance of community and the joy of sharing the stoke with others. As an Austrian, I am eager to inspire more people from my country to join me in building a team and promoting the sport. Seeing the surfing community grow and building up an Austrian Surf-Team would be a dream come true.
