Daniel grew up in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), bought his first surfboard with his own money when he was 8 years old. Then surfed competitively and worked as a shaper for many well-known brands. Among others also for Sharp Eye Surfboards in San Diego, USA. However, 28 years ago, he decided to move to Switzerland. Of course we wanted to find out what on earth drew him away from these dream surf destinations to Switzerland, a country without any ocean or sea.

And how does he make a living as a shaper, in a country with mountains and snow, instead of swells and reefs?
