The Valencian Community presents us with this great athlete who, at only 17 years old, already knows that he wants to dedicate his entire life to catching waves and that he is going to fight to be among the top positions.
Who is Nacho Sanchis?
The sporting streak ran in his veins from a very young age, since at the age of 3 he began to practice bodysurfing with his sister and his cousin, between the ages of 4 and 5 he already skied and later he began to surf According to Sanchis, at the age of 5 "my father bought me body protection because he was crazy", so we get an idea of how naughty he could be.
Of course, it was worth it and he did not give up his efforts to continue "doing crazy things", because at the age of 6 he took up skate. Even so, not everything was so easy, because he comments that "I was a slow person, it was very difficult for me to do tricks and they always told me to stop skating because it was just annoying." At the age of 8 he started to skate. practice snowboard, he quickly learned to handle the board and not only that, but two years later he was already making giant jumps.
Given this trajectory, his parents did not let him surf until he was 11 years old, because they were afraid that he might get injured. Since then he has not stopped catching waves, going to the beach whenever he can and going into the sea to practice surfing, the sport that fulfills him most today and for which he will fight to make his way.

- For Nacho, the most important thing now is to continue training very hard day by day, since he wants to prepare for the national qualifying tests for promises in the under 18 category.

He needs to show the world what he is capable of doing and that is why he is not going to stop fighting, training and making an effort every day.
