Kite Instructor Mario

“I love teaching, especially showing beginners the first steps, giving them confidence and then seeing them ride for the first time. And of course, I am also available for every freestyle twintip lesson – that’s my passion!”

Mario
Founder & Instructor

“I am the one who is first in the morning to ensure the beginners’ first successes and in the evening the one who teaches the advanced riders to jump. I love my job because I can combine the wind, kiting and teaching.”

Gilson
Founder & Instructor

Kite Instructor Leandro

“Summer vibes – that’s my motivation. I am happy to teach beginners as well as advanced students. One of my passions is kiting with a surfboard – so strapless.”

Leandro
Founder & Instructor

“I believe anything is possible: I see opportunity when others see impossibility. I take risk and I’m focused. Surfing and kite surfing is for me more than a lifestyle – it’s a passion, my love and all over it’s a part of me.”
