I live on the western coast of Sardinia. I began practicing water sports at the age of 4, thanks to my father who introduced me to surfing at such a young age. At 7 years old, I started with Techno 293, and later, at 12, I focused on slalom and wave riding. With the emergence of wing sports, I began practicing wingfoiling, and today I hold the titles of World and European Champion in wingfoil racing and marathon.
