I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, raised in the water of Arpoador. My great grandfathers came from Poland because of the World War. I am son of a surf, who encouraged me from the age of 4 to do what I love most. I've already made three trips to Peru, five times Indonesia and once to Hawaii. I started competing in 2011.

I was born and raised in Poland, where surfing was not a popular sport. I discovered my passion for this sport quite late, about 10 years ago, during my windsurf trip to Brasil and it changed my life. Then I discovered that the cold waters of the Baltic Sea offer some good waves, so I can surf more often than just on holiday trips.
