Surfer, storyteller or artist? In the case of João Kopke, you don’t have to choose, it can be all at once.

He began surfing the 8 years in Carcavelos, Portugal. His competitive career also began early at age 10, when he joined a competition group of young surfers, first in national events, winning several national Junior titles. The move to competition at international events, both as a member of the Portuguese national surfing team and at World Surf League professional events, was natural and was also able to achieve good results there.

In parallel, he also developed a strong artistic component through music, in different ways, where his expressiveness and way of being gained a new form.

Currently as a surfer and person is characterized by this mix of skills, a surfer with a high technical quality, creativity above average and distinct energy. This is João Kopke.
