Finish the sentence

This year, I really want to…

Stay injury-free and focus on developing the areas of my surfing where I’m not as strong – and of course, make sure I’m always properly hydrated through the process. ;)

My typical Sunday looks like...

Honestly, there’s no such thing as a “typical” Sunday for me. As a surfer, the weather decides my day. So, a Sunday could either be spent lounging on the couch or a full day out on the water – it’s all up to the weather!

The most spontaneous thing I’ve done...

A couple of years ago, on New Year’s Eve at 10 p.m., I decided to drive six hours across Denmark and then on to Sweden just so I could surf the morning of January 1st. It turned out to be one of the best days I’ve ever had – even with zero hours of sleep!

What I wish more people knew...

Maybe just that it’s okay to step off the hamster wheel and that you won’t die without a fixed monthly income.

A recent thought I had in the shower...

I’ve been thinking a lot about the split particle experiment lately. Have you heard of it? It’s CRAZY!

I know the best place in town if you’re looking for...

The absolute best fish cakes in Denmark can be found at Vorupør Røgeri in Nørre Vorupør. They’re WILD. You can even get one on rye bread with remoulade for 20kr. And if you ever find yourself in Ericeira, Portugal, you’ve got to check out Gafanhoto and order the Tirras de Porco Preto.

What’s your “hype myself” song?

It has to be “I’m So Excited” by The Pointer Sisters.

Why do you use our electrolytes to support your journey to the Olympics?

I use your electrolytes because they help keep my energy levels stable, especially during long training sessions in the water. As a surfer, staying hydrated is crucial, as it affects both my performance and recovery. Your electrolytes help keep me sharp, so I can give my best - both in training and in competitions.
