HOW DID YOU DISCOVER YOUR
TALENT IN SURFING? HOW OLD
WERE YOU THEN?
I never really considered it as a
talent of mine. It's just always been
something I've enjoyed doing very
much. The first time I surfed was
when I was 11, on a small river in
Munich. Ater that I surfed a lot in
the ocean and at the famous
Eisbach river.

WHAT ARE THE DANGERS OF
SURFING ON BIG WAVES?
HOW MANY SURFING
COMPETITIONS HAVE YOU JOINED?
Around ten competitions. Some in
the ocean and some in the river.
WHICH SURFING COMPETITION
WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE TO
YOU?
Most memorable surfing
competition was the World Junior
Surfing Games 2011 in Peru with
the German National Team. Visiting
a country so far away at a young
age was great, and of course
meeting people from all over the
world was fun.
Big wave surf spots have many
diļ¬erent dangers. At some of them
you can have long deep water hold-
downs. Some spots are very
shallow so it's likely to hit the
ground. Big wave surfers are always
very well trained and work in
teams.
HAS THERE BEEN ANY SURFING
SPECIAL EVENT THAT WAS
ORGANIZED AT EISBACH? OR IS
EISBACH JUST A PLACE TO SPEND
TIME WITH FRIENDS TO GO
SURFING?
Sometimes the local surf crews
organise events, which are usually
created by friends for friends.
