I started surfing in summer of 2018 on a citywave in Germany. I progressed to riverwaves in 2019 and to the wavepool in 2021. Just 3 weeks before the Pismo Beach ISA World Para Surfing Championship of 2021, I took my surfing to the ocean in Lanzarote. As a total Rookie I was able to score the Bronze Medal at the ISA World Para Surfing Championship in the Visually Impaired I Class.

In 2022 and 2023 I scored 4th., in 2024 another Bronze Medal. Training hard in SURFTOWN MUC (the new German Wavepool), with ONE TEAM in El Salvador in 2023 and 2024 and down in Chile this September, I tried to step up my game. Looking forward to another round of hard competition in Oceanside, where I placed second at the US Open in 2024. Lets live the stoke and all give our best, so Para Surfing maybe gets considered to become Paralympic in Brisbane 2032.
