- WHY AL360?
AL360 made the most amazing and unbeakable products, and I love the way in which I can handle the booms with a very nice and soft grip.

- ABOUT ME:
I grew up in Trieste, in the north-east of Italy, between the Alps and the sea. I started windsurfing because my whole family is addicted to it – every summer I’d travel with them to Greece to windsurf and I tried it a few times with the equipment of my parents. In the winter I used to ski a lot, as I lived near the Alps. I started when I was three and it was actually my first sport.
It was only at sixteen that I windsurfed for the whole summer and I fell in love with it, it started giving a new meaning to my life. In the water I feel good and find my happy refuge. After that summer I decided to move to Gran Canaria for one year to train more in windsurf.

Since then my life has changed and has always moved around windsurfing. After a few summers in Pozo Izquierdo, I decided to try my skills in competitions, and 2014 was my debut on the World Tour. I scored a 5th place in Pozo Izquierdo and 11th in the final ranking. In 2015 I finished 6th in Pozo and 9th in the final ranking.

In 2016 I started SUP in the meanwhile as well, with the SUP race I can be in the water all the time, and can enjoy every condition.

These last years I am balancing my life between windsurf and work and I spent the winter months in Cape Town and the summer in Canary Islands.
I like competitions as I see them as a way to push your limits and improve, but I like much more things that competitions brings to me. The adventure, the sacrifice, the new friendships, the travels. My favourite spots are: Haagkat, Cape Point, South Africa; Carro, France; Pozo, Gran Canaria.

At the moment I live in Barcelona 5 months a year and keep travelling from one place to another.
