It's been a while - several knee injuries and made some kids, but my deep love for water sports will never fade 💙💙💙 Egypt never disappoints. Throwback to last Christmas. 🇪🇬

And yes, I have 3 kids under 6 now. ✌️😉

After moving to Switzerland and starting my career people have been asking me if I miss my kiteboarding life. Answer is, of course!!! But honestly, you can't do that forever. Life got so much to offer and before my time is up, I want to make sure I have tasted every single piece of it.

Now I'm tasting having a stable economy for the first time in my life, having a great career and starting to think about having a family. This is also a dream and super exciting.

Doing only one thing gets boring after a while, don't you think? I have awesome wakeboard and kiteboard holidays planned throughout the year and that makes me look forward to something rather than taking it for granted 🙌😊
Life is long people!

Thank you Namdalsavisa for contacting me and writing this great article about me conquering my spinal disease and my podium places in snowkiting couple of weeks ago! :)

My dream was to become a professional athlete - from my young snowboarding, handball and football days to the day I underwent my life-changing back operation! After this I realized that this will probably never come true - that was until I found kiteboarding 💙

With avoiding strong gusty winds, riding small kites, hard training and short sessions I made it! It got me out traveling for 8 years, meeting incredible people from all over the world - the best decision I've ever made! 🙌

I've had plenty scary moments knowing I have screws and titanium in my spine and at one point the risk simply just gets too high. Life is long and I want to enjoy all of it! I even had a 30% chance of getting paralyzed during my surgery! No risk no fun right?? I can honestly say kiteboarding changed my life - no, I never made it to the top, no I was never the best - but damned I did it!!! And I would never be where I am today without this experience 💙🤗 I will never stop, but it feels good to slow it down a tad!

Ps. Not writing this for attention, just for a few of you to understand why I took the tough decision to "settle down".
