“Since I can remember, I have always felt an intense connection with nature in any of its forms, such as water, snow etc ... All my life I have been linked and totally in love with life and its different expressions. I think that in our genetic memory there is a very special moment, where according to the theory of Darwin evolution, we go from aquatic life to landlife. This transition is where the sea meets the coasts, where the waves are formed, and where for some reason I am strongly attracted to return. Instinct, genetics, or whatever makes me feel tremendously attracted to return to the sea every day. Having the magical sensation of being inside a tube or flying with a ramp given by beautiful waves to us makes me feel totally in love with it. Everything is familiar, the different aromas, the colors, the water that caresses on our skin, how landscapes are seen from the sea. We are beings of the sea, we are part of nature. ”
