Kayaking High's/Low's
Kayaksurf has brought only good things to my life: the pleasure of being close to nature, the friends I've made and the amazing places I've known. But we still have loads of work to do to turn it into a popular sport in my country.
.
Favourite breaks - Brasil (Mole/Maresias/Camburi), Costa Rica (Hermossa), Califórnia (Davenport)
Other Sponsors – UOL, Adventure Gears, Hidro 2, Fórmula Academia, TAP Portugal, Mormaii
Aims'and Ambitions –
I wish to surf in many places of the world and I still have a lot to experience in this sport. My greatest challenge is to develop and promote kayaksurf in my country. I wish that more and more people have the pleasure to drop a wave and slide on it with a kayak. We have 8,500 km of coast with excellent surfing points and I'm sure this will be a great leisure option here!
Anything else of interest I've missed out.
