Biography
His passion for kitesurfing was passed on to him by his father. He quickly established himself as one of the leading names in the discipline, boasting five European and World Championships medals on his list of honours. From an early age, he loved practising all kinds of sports: from wakeboarding and surfing to snowboarding and skiing. His strong points are his athletic preparation, his focus on his diet and his physical stature. Thanks to his very young age, these factors greatly increase his chances of improving further. His turning point arrived at the beginning of 2020, when the federal coaches decided to allow him to debut in the various international youth competitions. He made a name for himself in August 2023 in Holland, where he obtained his spot for Paris 2024. He will be looking to bring his carefree spirit to the waters of Marseille to ensure his inaugural Olympics will remain a lasting memory.
