Latchi kite trip
No risk, no gain! We sacrificed what seemed to be a good day on our local spot to explore the island for something new and unlike so many other times this time was worthy it. Can’t wait to go back! [one_half first][/one_half] [one_half][/one_half] [one_half first][/one_half] [one_half][/one_half]
Back to Hawaii
Back to Hawaii again this year with the mission to kitesurf the legendary Peah’i A.K.A Jaws on Maui’s north shore. Matt Kazuma from “Kazuma Surfboards” who’s workshop is a stone throw away from the famous wave shaped me a board especially for this occasion. [one_third first][/one_third] [one_third][/one_third] [one_third][/one_third] Jaws does not “function” very often and so within the […]
A month in paradise.
Maui, Hawaii was my training destination this fall and the legendary island of the Pacific did not disapoint. Postcard setting, warm weather, consistent wind and waves combined with a relaxed lifestyle is what I got for a whole month… My base was in Haiku/Peahi on Maui’s north shore only minutes drive from the famous spots of Hookipa, Lanes and Kanaha […]
Chilean waves
Chile, Matanzas kite trip. Big waves, strong winds and cold water basically describe this coastal part of Chile. Extreme wave riding guaranteed! Matanzas is a small one street village located two and a half hours drive south from Santiago. It belongs to the borough of Navidad and is home for a few families that practice traditional farming, […]
Another kite trip to Peru.
A cool little beach town right on the Pan-American highway, Mancora is a great base from which to explore Peru’s north coast. With incredible restaurants serving world class fresh tuna steaks and seafood, and plenty of chill bars to relax after a long day on the water, we were once more delighted with Mancora’s laid back […]
South Africa kite trip.
Cape Town, South Africa is a very windy place and one of the top locations in the world for kitesurfing at all levels. The beaches are stunningly beautiful and there is a wide selection of spots to ride weather you like flat or waves. My friend Steve and I spent 3 weeks kitesurfing […]
A month in Peru.
. Northern Peru has extraordinary kitesurfing conditions with perfect waves and reliable winds. This is where you go if you want to KiteSURF. If you are going to be doing freestyle, this is not the best place for you. You will just be in the way… Mancora was the perfect base for reaching out to spots such as […]
Morocco kite trip.
Moulay Bouzarktoon, down on Morocco’s Atlantic coast is mainly considered a windsurfers spot. So, very few kitesurfers there apart from my friend Yiannis, kitesurfing champion Bertrand Fleury and me… Nuclear winds with big waves and rough seas converted into epic sailing conditions… for those up to the challenge (read and see more).

Sal, Cabo Verde.
The island of Sal might not be the best place for sight seeing but who cares when you are a kitesurfer and have a world class wave called Punta Preta to play with every day ? We spent two intense weeks last January riding the fastest cleanest wave ever, which alone makes this magical […]
