Hello everyone! My name is Paula Kuta (No, I did not grow up in Bali xD) and I was born in the Czech Republic. I spent my childhood in the Czech Republic and Germany, ocassionaly travelling with my family abroad. I always loved the sea and water. I grew up as a competitive swimmer. I saw surfing for the first time during the surf fest in Costa da Caparica in 2016. I was fascinated. Life took me on this adventure and 3 years later I began surfing. Now, I call Costa da Caparica my home. Once upon a time that seemed impossible. I would like to show everyone that they should keep believing in their dreams.
I speak 7 languages and I have an associate degree in computer science (working towards my bachelor now).

I was born in Czech mountains. When I was 20 years old and studying abroad, I saw the ocean and tried surfing - both for the first time. I fell in love with that lifestyle and sport almost immediately... Ever since I have been living mostly in Lisbon sometimes in Prague or Bali, as so called digital nomad, working on transforming my dreams into reality.
I am from Prague, Czech republic. I started surfing when I was 10 years old. I am a physiotherapy student and I love to surf and skate. I spend most of the year surfing in northern Spain.
