I discovered surfing thru kitesurfing trip. Once I tried surfing where no wind is needed I quickly became addicted and never get back to kitesurfing any more. :)

I started to surf quite in a late age and the best advice I got, was to be like a kid. Do not care about the results, just enjoy the process and surf as often as possible in any conditions.

Hello everyone! My name is Sisa and I was born in Slovak Republic. I love wakeboarding, snowboarding, swimming, boxing and so many other sports. I have been boxing for 15 years and was a Slovak national champion.

I always loved water so i started surfing when I was 22 years old.I moved to Tenerife when I was 28 and I started devoting myself fully to surfing.
