I started competing in Karate at the age of 8 and achieving black belt first Dan in the modalities Shorinji Ryu Renshinkan and Shotokan Skif. Growing up near the beach, at the age of 16 I switched my passion to surfing because of its connection to the nature. Then, I started competing and using the discipline and phisicall skills learned from the Karate. I am currently living Fuerte Ventura and Alicante, Spain.
