I love surfing from the moment I surfed my first wave in Puerto Rico when I was 6 years old. I live in a landlocked country, so I depended on wavepools or traveling. I am happy to come back to El Salvador for my 2nd WJSGs.

Hello, my name is Nina and I am 13 years old. I started surfing 4 years ago, my inspiration was my older sister Sea who started a little bit before me. I love competing and my dream is to be a professional surfer and hopefully one day be on WSL. I am super happy to get the opportunity to represent my country (Germany) here in El Salvador and to inspire more young german girls to start surfing.

My name is Kai, I'm 14 years old and surfing since I'm 5. I come from Tenerife, Canary Islands, where I started surfing in El Médano, the small town where I live with my parents and my brother.
My mother is Spanish from Tenerife, Canary Islands and my father from Cologne, Germany. This is why I have double nationality. I'm proud to be part of the German national team and very gratefull for all the support I get from them!
I moved to Ericeira/ Portugal last year (2023) to do two scholar years there and train, as the environment and infrastructure there is ideal for imporoving my surfing - and I love Portugal so much :-)

Kekoa is a 16 years old german grown up at the beaches of OPorto in northern Portugal.Surfing since the age of 5 . His family is running a Surfcamp so for him it was natural to be in the water day by day . Comp surfing came into his life with the age of 9. Training 7 times a week gave him the entrance for the ISA Event in El Salvador. He is two time german champ under 18 . Making it into the german national team was a first benchmark archievemnet last year on the long way to professional surfing.Beeing trained by Didier Piter and Martin Walz with the national selection is absolutly amazing and brings all the things together .
