I´m an adventurer who has dedicated his life to persue challenges in many fields and disciplines that have to do with water sports.

Periods in Australia and Hawaii during my youth, helped me to create a special relationship with the sea, wich then led to a passion as an athlete in : surfing, diving, stand up paddle, kitesurf and professional rescuer.

In 2012 I was double Medalist in the Panamerican Games developed in Perú, Silver in SUP Race and Bronce in SUP Surf ; and national champion in both specialities.

In the last time I focused on surfing giant waves and especially with the clear goal: to surf the biggest wave registered in the history of surfing, privilege that -in the present- hold my friend, Garrett Macnamara.

I have had the fortune to devote myself to what I like, but nonetheless, due my activities, demand a great professional work on my part and support team, including: journalists, sales engineers, physiotherapists, therapists, sport psychologists, and of course, my family.

I thank them all of getting involved in my life project and to all lovers of the sea and it´s waves, that follw my career. Thank you all.
