How long have you been surfing?

I have been surfing since I was 3. My dad loves to surf so he got me started in the water very early on.

Tahiti is one of the most beautiful places on the planet to surf! The water is crystal clear and the waves are so perfect.

What are you binge watching on Netflix right now?

Nothing at the moment, actually! I am in Europe competing in a surf contest, but I’m sure I will find something catchy to watch when I’m home. Maybe I will watch Fariña since I was just in Galicia, Spain.

Do you play video games?

Ha, I wouldn’t call myself a gamer, but I have played Fortnite a few times and it’s actually pretty fun.
