I'm a half american half greek citizen who grew up in the US. I want to represent Greece and bring more representation and inspiration for mediterranean surfers to raise the level in the sport of surfing. I spent 4 months last winter in Greece visting the surf community and was welcomed by all the locals. They showed me around many surf spots and was very fortunate to experience the greek hospitality. I have many relatives in Greece and hope one day to qualify for the Olympics.

I am 27 years old from New Jersey. Going to Greece every summer to visit family and realizing that people surf there made me want to join their team and represent my heritage. I've been looking into it since I was 16 but in 2019 I got a Facebook message from one of the coaches in the Greece Surfing Federation inviting me to compete in their contest trials for the World Games. It is an honor to be representing Greece!

Half Greek, half Peruvian. Born and raised in Peru always celebrating the greek traditions of my family. I hope to be an inspiration for all greek groms around the world and hopefully become a full size Junior Greek Surfing Team. Started surfing as soon as I learned to swim at 4 years old, first with my bodyboard and soon switched to shortboard and never left it since. I began competing at age 9 and am honored to join Team Greece for the ISA Competitions, looking forward to give my best!

I'm a mathematician/surfer from Greece living the dream of taking a break from running my own business and joining in an international event with surfers from all around the world representing my country. I started surfing 5 years ago when i realized it's something you can sometimes do where i come from and i instantly became passionate about it. I’m the only one in the team staying in Greece, so i could say I'm representing the Greek surfing community and all it's enthusiasts trying to get advantage of every rare opportunity to do what they love. Based in Athens i go after any chance of surfing all across the country and beyond! My goal is to do the best surf of my life, to enjoy every moment of this unique experience and have a great time!
I enjoy riding big boards on big waves. I find it very relaxing to just cruise down the line. I've surfed Mavericks a handfull of times as well. When I am not surfing --which is not very often :)-- I do have a full time job as a professor at University of Califonia, Santa Cruz. I am a mathematician and teach/research theoretical computer science and quantum computing.
