- Proud to represent the French Caribbean: a beautiful little island named St Barth but also Guadeloupe where i spent a lot of time during my childhood to surf and train with the Guadeloupeen league. - I've been struggling on the WQS for many years, but since last year i decided to change and now i have a new team (coach, shapper, mental coach), new routine ! I'm on a new dynamic and feel ready for any challenge ! - My boyfriend is coming from combat sports, he's been teaching me boxing and kick-boxing that is helping me a lot to develop my mental and physical capacities: stay lucid & focus while having a big amount of information and a high cardio frequency. (its good for coordination too!) - Last time i competed with the French Team on ISA was at the ISA world juniors in oceanside in 2015 when i won.

Hi, 

was born in the middle of france but my parents have move to reunion island when i was 23 month. Which was lovely, it's tropical, just like hawaii and I crew up on the beach and in the water. Started surfing at 8 years hold, started competing at 10 and got my first sponsor at 12. Then I just continued my path on the wsl tour.
