Favourite thing about competing on tour?:
I like that you meet the best riders from around the world all in the same time and place. You can compare yourself with others and exchange experiences, which helps a lot to improve your own riding as well.
Standout moment 2017:
Yes, that I missed the main event in Mauritius just by one heat. I went there without any expectations because I never ride in One Eye before my first heat. So I was pretty stoked about reaching the last round of the qualifiers.
Favourite competitors to ride against and watch:
I always try to watch as much as possible to compare the unique style of every rider.
2018 goals:
In 2016 I started just with one tour stop, 2017 I managed to take part in two events. So my goal for 2018 is to take part in more then two events!
How do you train?:
I just try to get on the water as much as possible besides work and drink one or two beers afterwards to get rid of the salt water taste!
