A few words about yourself.	After sailing mostly in southern France, lake Garda and lakes in Switzerland I moved to the Gorge/Oregon coast. After many years I felt it is time to move on and I call Fuerteventura my new home.
What makes your ride?	Passion to the ocean/water. Everyday is different. You can always learn and improve. Be out there in the nature.
How much do you love to windsurf?	It is a daily part of my life. I’m driven by this sport. For me it is a way of life.

What inspires you?	Try to be able to manage the power of the nature.

What does riding for Goya mean to you?	Being everyday on top of the line gear, having a close friendship with many of the team members feels like being a part of a family with some of the most talented and stoked riders.
