From an early age I tried many sports, but the ocean was calling me. Raised in Puerto Rico, I was soon representing my country on international competitions and then on to the WQS tour. But chasing barrels was always my real passion, so I left competitive surfing to travel the world in search of more challenging waves. I took a liking to more serious conditions and started working on getting editorial coverage to support my lifestyle. As co-founder of Granito de Arena, a surf and environmental organization that works with youth in low-income coastal communities. We're dedicated to teaching kids how to reduce and reuse plastic in a positive way.
