When I was 13, I started with windsurf but I saw my dad jumping and flying with the kite and then I thought, I want to do it, but my father thought it was a bit dangerous then I  took other kites of my dad’s Friends and I spent a lot of hours Jumping on Tarifa's beaches.
When I got 14 my dad taught me to fly kites in Tarifa but I only could to do kite the weekends cause during the week I was in the school, until  2009 summer that I finished my studies and I can train a few more, but really the winter here is bad for train and there is not wind always, therefore, when there isn’t wind I do other sports like: Skateboarding, Surf, wakeboarding, Snowboarding.

 

 

About the competition: I started to compete in 2007 in the Spanish competition and I got 4th in absolute rating, after the competitions in  2007 the Spanish F-one Team gave me the opportunity to be in the team, in 2008 I won the Spanish Cup and Igot to be international with the F-one Team  and Finally in 2009 I started  the international competitions and I got a second position in the Spanish championship.

About the kiteboarding: I think kiteboarding is a philosophy of life, like a big chance to discovery this world, meet new people, travel to different spots, wonderful beaches and learn other cultures, then if you have this chance, don’t think in the future, enjoy the moment.
