VERÓNICA SILVA
BIO
The sea has always been my greatest passion and luckily, I grew up on an island where I can go everyday to the water and do what I love. I had my first lesson of SUP at the age of 11. With 14 years old I decided to try the competition for the very first time and since then I have never stopped. Surf came to my life a bit later when I was 13.
Being part of Clube naval do Funchal I always had the opportunity to go surfing and paddling whenever I wanted. So, I basically spend most of my time in the water, training to achieve my goals. For my future on SUP I want to represent the Portuguese SUP team and also compete in international events.
