4th in the world Wave Tour 2025

Updated: Nov 14




4th in the World in 2025 🌍💥

They say 4th place is the worst an athlete can get — but not for me, not after the rollercoaster of the last three seasons.


Since finishing 2nd overall in 2022, it’s been a constant battle:

 👉Broken hand (operated on twice in 1.5 years)

👉 Broken foot (for the 3rd time!)

👉 Torn meniscus & quad

 👉Tumor removal surgery complications and months of recovery


Every year meant starting from scratch and rebuilding my strength. Then, in early 2025, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer — turning this season into the toughest fight yet.

Between last-minute flights and hospital visits, tough luck in constantly losing heats by a hair:

⚡️ In Chile, I missed the final by 0.2 points

⚡️ In Pozo, I lost by 0.04

⚡️ In Tenerife, I lost by 0.6 points after not finding a second wave (no jumps were counted for women despite strong 4.2 wind),

I made it back onto the podium in Sylt and into the Top 4 overall after two injury-packed seasons outside the Top 10. And I’m stoked.


Huge thanks to everyone who cheered me on through all kinds of battles, on and off the water ❤️


And to my sponsors — @northwindsurfing @mysticboarding @flikkaboards — for keeping me flying!
