Surfing came into my life at a moment of doubts, and today I consider it my greatest strength. When I caught my first waves at the age of 10, my life unconsciously began to fall into place. From that moment on, I had a clear purpose, a guiding line: to become a better surfer every day. In a short time, I began to notice significant changes in my results, both professionally and personally, socially, and academically. Looking back, I am deeply grateful for the lessons that surfing has taught me over the years, and I know it will continue to teach me more.
But there is something unique about surfing that makes it special: the ocean. The ocean is our meeting point, a constantly changing, strong, and surprising natural environment. In it, we await the perfect wave that may never come, but that infinite wait hooks us to return the next day. Many of us turn to the ocean, and that’s why we must take care of it and share it for the benefit of all.
My first contributions to this cause were made hand in hand with Kind Surf, a socio-environmental NGO dedicated to young people in disadvantaged situations, helping them through surfing and environmental education. I experienced firsthand the positive impact that these activities have on the lives of young people and their families. This environmental awareness expanded and became a common ground with brands like Loewe, Isdin, Subaru, and Adidas, with whom I collaborate on projects that have a positive impact on the environment and the minds of people.
My commitment to surfing goes beyond competitions and waves. It also encompasses my constant pursuit of personal and professional growth. The combination of my career as a professional surfer with my studies at the Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR) represents a challenge that I embrace with passion and determination.
Studying a degree in Business Administration and Management at an online university allows me to combine my passion for surfing with my academic aspirations. This dual career not only represents an opportunity to acquire knowledge in the business world but also a way to cultivate skills that will help me become a better athlete, person, and professional in the future.
My commitment to surfing, the environment, and my academic development reflects my firm belief that every day I must strive to be better in all aspects of my life. It is a demanding path, but I am sure that every step I take brings me closer to achieving my goals and becoming the best version of myself.
With this mindset, I approach each day with determination and gratitude, knowing that every challenge I face is an opportunity to grow and surpass myself.
Thank you for accompanying me on this journey. Together, we will continue to ride the waves and share our passions with the world.
