I started kitesurfing in January 2016, took me a long time to start the sport since I grew watching a lot of my friend kite for more than 15 year, but the sport has developed, the kites are amazing, and going strapless its just too much fun, its been a fast progress since, I love the feeling of going really fast on my surfboard to do a giant turn on a one foot wave or bigger, so as doing fun airs, its like consistent tow-in but funner, since I travel a lot for surfing, I already been kiting on amazing countries like Chile, Australia, Bali, Japan and the Dominican Republic.
