I live in Sardinia and grew up among the waves of Capo Mannu. I began with wave windsurfing, then transitioned to slalom, competing internationally and securing numerous youth titles. Following the Covid pandemic, I ventured into wingfoiling and now compete in the World Cup races, where I earned the title of 2023 Race Vice World Champion.
