GOYA

Moving to Goya was a big change, but it has given me the opportunity to be part of a fast-moving company where I can be at the heart of the sport and working with some of the most inspiring and talented windsurf board and sailmakers; I am surrounded by an amazing team. I have been given the opportunity to try so many different new things and to be able to learn from the best; that is a driving force to my windsurfing life. Knowledge and learning is the most precious thing to me. I always considered windsurfing a passion and never a source of income, but I was very lucky to have been supported to travel and discover some of the most amazing windsurfing spots in the world.
