How it’s all started:

It all started with a crazy idea: to do as much sport as possible.

It started on a chilly lagoon, with an amazing instructor who was always there, supporting me every step of the way. Then it continued in the endless warm waters of Egypt.

After that came the crazy experience of the cold Baltic Sea — storms, freezing days, and water so cold that sometimes I could literally see ice floating in it.

And now, my progression continues in Portugal, where I’m enjoying endless waves, the ocean, and salty lagoons. 🌊

What a journey it’s been so far. And I’m definitely not stopping here. 🏄‍♂️

Yesterday I jumped my Personal Record 10,8 meters. Finally I am in 10 meters club 🪁🥰
It was at the beach Guincho, Portugal.
I was entering the water Ian’s my friend Miguel just jumped national record of Portugal and he told me “Today you jump your PR”.
I was not sure about that. Since my injury I always careful and not jump full power. I became more scared of injuries.
But yesterday it just all went together, perfect ocean (not too crazy waves), strong gusty wind as usual in Guincho. But this year I really enjoy this spot and it’s becoming my favorite.

And here we go, 10 meters jump in my pocket. Now I have even more motivation to move forward and get stronger 🤙🏾🪁
