Short Story

I started windsurfing at the age of 13 during the holidays. Two years later, I really got into it and wanted to start slalom surfing. In 2023, I took part in my first slalom race and finished in 2nd place in my age class. I also started foiling in 2023 and got my first slalom foil. In 2024, I signed with Duotone and competed in the German national tour, where I achieved several second and third places. I also work as a windsurfing instructor on Fehmarn Island, helping more people experience the sport.

My ultimate goal is to be the best windsurfer in the world!

Beyond the Board
In my free time, I love going to the gym and working on my van.

Why F4 Foils?

"I chose F4 because they combine speed and power with control and durability."
