Which dish can you not resist? And why? Pizza :) because I am Italian!!

What is your hidden talent? Planning trips :)

If I had one wish, I would... I love being able to wakeboard every time!

What "secret" is there still about you? I can't live without Italian food :) It's just too good!

1. What sport do you play and how did you get into it?

I am a wakeboarder! I started with water skiing when I was very young because my father was a water skier, but I didn't like it that much. Then one day I was at the lake and a couple of guys brought a wakeboard, they got me to try it out and since then I have never stopped!

2. What makes your sport special?

Wakeboarding is something special for me because I feel like I can fully express myself! Wakeboarding is about being creative with your tricks and having fun with your friends!

3. What criteria are crucial for selecting your competitions?

I participate in all Wingfoil Race competitions (5 to 6 competitions per season). They are very special due to their format, which I love.

4. What has been your greatest sporting achievement so far? 

My main goal since childhood was to practice my sport all over the world and make it my profession!

5. What is your hobby outside of sports? 

Traveling, surfing, listening to music, and lots of sports!

6. What motivates you to get up every day and do your sport? 

Wakeboarding is my whole life! I can't stop, it just makes me the happiest!

1. What does perfect recovery look like for you?

For me, perfect recovery consists of good food, good sleep, plenty of stretching, and a relaxing time in my Reboots!

2. When do you like to use your Reboots the most?

Normally, I use them after my workout or at the end of the day, maybe before dinner, to be ready and relaxed for my sleep!

3. How important is the topic of "regeneration" to you?

The topic of regeneration is one of the most important parts of an athlete's life. To be able to train optimally, one must recover well after training so that they are fully operational again the next day!

4. What is your insider tip for using the Reboots?

Normally, I use my Reboots for 30/40 minutes, with an active flow program and a pressure level between 13-15! I definitely recommend Reboots for your recovery session. After an intense leg or training day, my legs feel much softer. I also used them during my leg injury, and they were very important for my recovery phase! Recovery is much faster with them, and you feel ready to give your best in the days after!

5. What do you occupy yourself with while you are in the Reboots?

Normally, I read a book. I like the Reboots so much because I feel like I'm really taking some time for myself during my routine!

6. What does the perfect day look like for you?

An optimal day should include at least one fun wing session on the water and a special time for learning. In between, I would eat a huge sushi platter.
