What does a typical day for you look like?

I get up in the morning and do my morning yoga, have some breakfast and go surfing. Afterwards I usually do a video analysis, go out to eat and then do an hour of strength training. In the evening I do a little social media and eat something again.

The best moment of my career so far was finishing third in a 1500QS at my home in Tenerife.

What is important to you in your diet?

When it comes to my diet, it is very important to me that it is varied, provides energy and of course that the food tastes good.

In my free time I do a lot with friends and occasionally play football or basketball.

How has Corona affected your everyday life as a competitive athlete?

Actually, not much has changed for me apart from the lockdown phase, which threw me quite a bit out of my rhythm.
