The story of the school

Before discovering his true passion and after finishing his studies, François was working for a bank. He studied economics, and was working for BNP in Belgium. One day, after ten months, he quit. He started travelling and then started teaching kitesurfing pretty much fulltime while traveling just to pay off the bills and have fun.

The TIME you spend with the KITE in your hands AND the TIME that the INSTRUCTOR spends with YOU will affect the learning curve. In fact, when you learn something new you need to spend time doing it. The more time, the better result !
