Biography
Learned to windsurf in 1987, and started competing in national championships in 1994. Since then participated in almost all the Greek windsurf events until 2000. In 2000 decided to quit course and slalom racing and take up wave sailing, and in 2003 also kitesurfing. Was 2nd in the Greek Funboard Championship in 1996. Participated in PWA Paros World Cup Event in ’95,’96,’97.
Speed was since the beginning the most exciting aspect in windsurfing. Going fast seems to come naturally  when windsurfing….the question is how fast!!!

Best Results :
ISA Karpathos 2007 = 23rd , Top speed (250m) = 36,69 knots
