How did you get into Kiting?
First, I started windsurfing at 6 years old with my parents when I move from Paris to Leucate. Then from my 8 years old to 11, I pilot a small 2,5 m kite. When I was 11 years old my parents buy me my first kite and I start taking lessons with my mom kite.

You’re planning your dream trip, where are you going and who’s coming with?
I think my dream trip will be Hawaii, I would love to bring all my families and, my girlfriend. For kitesurfing, surf, SUP, amazing landscape and I think best sunset ever.

What, in your opinion, has been your greatest accomplishment?
My comeback after my injury. I never get injured during my life. I get a small left knee injury in 2016 but the injury and surgery on my right knee in 2018 was a different level. After 8 months of rehab and get my place into the 24th best freestyle rider in the world and performed well. That was a really good feeling
