Who or what inspires you? What is your passion in life?
It’s the feeling surfing gives that inspires me. The feeling after a perfectly ridden wave. The feeling that when you let go of things life flows, when you do what a wave asks for without thinking, you ride it best. The irregularity and inconsistency of this sport is what inspires me to do it more and more every day. This is my passion, surfing.

Do you follow a special way of life? 
If yes, what is it?
I live a healthy lifestyle, good, healthy and nutritious food, a lot of stretching, some skating here and there, some strength training sessions. A lot of sunshine and salty water gives me happiness. Positive thinking and letting life flow will lead you to the right direction!

Best city/place to live on earth and why?
Right here, Vila do Bispo. Waves every single day, not too hot not too cold. Nice little surf community. Beautiful and so many beaches. 

Best spot/training location?

Praia da Cordoama

What are your goals for 2022/2023? What do you want to achieve next?
I want to push the best out of myself, I want to get to surf on my best and to be in the Portuguese top 5. But I want to do this out of passion and love for this sport, not for being better than others, for being a better me.
