Ambassador for sustainability. He studied Geology and worked for many years as a beach lifeguard. He won the popular television contest ‘Supervivien- tes’ and was crowned European surfing champion on two occasions. After suffering a serious spinal injury whilst surfing in 2012, he returned to his passion and founded Goazenup, a stand-up padd- leboarding (SUP) association that provides therapy sessions at sea and promotes environmental awareness through educational talks and coastal clean-up initiatives. He has been honoured with the international ‘Lighthouse of the Ocean Award’ from Ocean for Future, and last year he received a prize in the individual category of the ‘Empathy with Nature’ awards. In 2026, he was recognised for his support in promoting inclusive sport.
