One of my favorite memories was my first competition, in Brazil in 2018. I was 12 years old and it was a great opportunity to share sessions with the best women kite surfer in the world. My first heat was against the World champion Jalou Langeree, a big inspiration, I was really proud and happy to share a heat with her!
My last good memory was in Morocco, we competed at sunset time, they were almost no more light and the conditions were amazing! I have scored the best waves of my life and then we had to run with my brother as fast as we could to be able to go upwind while listening to the scores of the last waves.

I love this busy life! And I’m in high school so I have to organize myself a lot. When I’m on competitions or shootings I’m fully focused so I don’t have so much time to study. But when I’m at home I usually study in the morning, train on the water in the afternoon and I work out after.

Due to the pandemic we didn’t have any competition for 1.5 year, so when I arrived in Sylt I was training every day for more than a year for this competition. I had no expectations, I didn’t know the level of the other girls and I just wanted to give my best. Even after a year and a half without competing I was happy to see that my mental was still here!
I passed heat by heat, landing all my tricks and being fully focused! I managed to be the first woman landing a double front roll in competition, and it brought me to the win!
