PERSONAL QUOTE

I live in Calais, located in the north of France, where I learned windsurfing as a kid. Despite the cold winters, the area is known for its strong winds, particularly ideal for exciting wave sessions in places like Wissant and Sangatte. For example, in a single week, I can train with my 8.7 foil sail and also enjoy wave sessions with my 4.2 Combat - it's truly amazing! As a competitor on the PWA circuit, I am dedicated to training rigorously and constantly experimenting with my gear to ensure I perform at my best. However, I also love the opportunity to share great sessions with my friends and family.

PERSONAL GOALS

Ranked 17th on the tour in 2023, my goal for 2024 is to break into the top 10, and I'm putting in the work to achieve it. I spend countless hours on the water training, and I also dedicate time in the gym to ensure confidence during competitions. In addition to competing on the PWA tour, I also participate in our French tour, which boasts a high level of riders. This serves as excellent preparation for the World Cup. Achieving a ranking of 5th in 2023, my aim is to secure a spot in the top 3 for 2024. However, above all, the most important thing for me is to have fun!
