Do you have a favourite spot / training location?
In Munich of course Eisbach and french beachbreaks around Hossegor.

Who or what inspires you in your daily life?
The Eisbach grom girls, who are the most stoked little rippers. They are always smiling, showing that the most important thing in surfing is always to have fun!

Do you follow a special way of life?
Every day I try to be thankful and appreciate the life I have and spend as much time as possible with the people closest to my heart. And of course surfing as much as I can!

What is the best place on earth?
Wherever my friends and family are. But having rippable waves wont hurt either.

If you could pick two surfers (dead or alive) to go surf with, who would they be and where would you go?
Definitely Caity Simmers because shes the coolest and Ive never seen somebody shred so hard and make it look so effortless. And Johanne Defay. I think shes the most underrated surfer on tour, but I could watch her surfing for hours! I also really like her approach to surfing and her positive vibes.

What are your goals for 2023? What do you want to achieve next?
Spend as much time as possible at the ocean and learn fun new tricks and bigger turns.

Is there something more you want to tell us?
You could maybe add a special face cleanser to your product range, because the zink is sooo water resistant (which is amazing) that my boyfriend who stole my zink still had white streaks on his face days after we arrived back home from France.

One quote about SWOX?
I got to know the company, because some athletes I looked up to were on the Swox team. I love how water resistant the products are! They don’t wash off while surfing, so now I never need to worry about getting sunburnt. But the best thing is that it doesn’t get in the eyes! Theres nothing more annoying than coming up from your first duckdive while paddling out and getting all your sunscreen washed in your eyes, leaving you more or less blinded before you even arrive in the lineup! Im super stoked to be on the team now!
