“ Kitesurfing is driving my whole life. "
Alexandre Interview
Can you tell us a bit more about your passion for kitesurfing?
For more than a decade, Kitesurfing is driving my whole life. It’s more than just a passion, it’s a way of life. It allows me to spend a lot of time in the water (as it’s a real need!), see new places, discover different cultures and meet new friends.
You just won the lottery, what would you do first?
I will book Namotu resort in Fiji for me and a bunch of friends for a month and ride big waves.
Next destination?
Dakhla and Los Roques.
