Who or what inspires you? What is your passion in life?
I draw inspiration from a lot of things and people around me. I love going on adventures, especially in cold places, and if it involves finding and surfing uncrowded waves that’s when I feel most alive. I live for those moments.
Do you follow a special way of life?
If yes, what is it?
I am just trying to be healthy, eating the right things (most of the time), being the best version of myself and working hard to achieve my goals.
Best city/place to live on earth and why?
I’ve seen so many places on earth that I could see myself living at, but if I would have to decide and could live anywhere, I would probably go somewhere in Australia or Hawaii. Although I love cold places it would be cool to live somewhere for a while with great waves and good climate.
If you could pick two athletes (dead or alive) to surf/ train with, who would they be and where would you go?
I would do a sailing and surfing trip with John John Florence, the adventures he’s going on look next level.
Best spot/training location?
I love surfing at home on the danish west coast, when the waves get good here, it’s always good vibes in the water and surfing with familiar faces is always fun. The waves can get surprisingly good here, when you know where to look, but of course we also have to deal with a bunch of flat spells or less than ideal conditions. But also Algarve, Scotland, France and Indo are high in the ranking.
What are your goals for 2023/2024? What do you want to achieve next?
Just having as much fun in the water as possible and go to places I haven’t been, do good competitions and maybe make another surf film. The list is long and I could go on forever, but these are my main goals.
One quote about SWOX. What do you think about SWOX? How did you get to know the company?
SWOX has been by far my favorite sunscreen since I’ve first started using it. It’s just the best for long days in the water and I wouldn’t want to miss the products on any surf trip.
