Short story
Built by storms
Born in 2005 between Türkiye and Cyprus. Started kiteboarding at nine. More than a decade in strong wind, from 50+ knot days to the international circuit. In April 2026 in Cape Verde I put down two measured world records: 62.9 metres of jump height and 111 seconds of airtime. The next target is Red Bull Megaloop and King of the Air.
