My story

My love for the outdoors and adventure sports naturally evolved into a desire to tell the stories behind these experiences. This led me to start filming my expeditions—opening the door to some of the most exciting projects and collaborations in our sport. 

 

I’ve been passionate about kayaking since the age of 12. I was a Spanish slalom champion and a member of the national team for several years. At 23, I transitioned from slalom to extreme kayaking and expedition-style adventures, seeking greater challenges and deeper exploration.

Over the years, I’ve organized and taken part in numerous expeditions to discover and run new rivers in some of the world’s most remote regions. These include journeys to Greenland (2017, 2022), Nepal (2015, 2019), Pakistan (2018), Iceland (2021), Svalbard (2023), Georgia (2017), Patagonia (multiple years), and Peru (2019), among others. My latest project, Ice Waterfalls, led me deep into the Arctic in search of whitewater rivers and waterfalls flowing over glaciers.

Prada, Red Bull, Bretagne Turisme, Ternua, NRS... are just some brands that I have worked with.
