I have been surfing since I was 7 years old, and ever since then it has been my dream to become a professional surfer. With consistent dedication, discipline, and a deep connection to the ocean, I have built my path in competitive surfing, standing out as Colombia’s Under-18 National Champion. Every wave has been an opportunity to grow, refine my style, and proudly represent my country. My goal is to continue progressing in high-performance surfing and establish myself among the top junior surfers internationally
