Clément Interview

Can you tell us a bit more about your passion for your sport?

I was watching my dad windsurfing and a kite surfer came up to me while I was in the water and asked me if everything was ok. I immediately put myself in his shoes and pictured myself kite surfing. I was 9 years old. Right after that, I asked my dad to buy me a traction kite and everything started from there. It was honestly a very chaotic and scary beginning.

I learned alone with my father to fly my kite on the beach, and I often found myself in complicated situations because the wind was very strong and I couldn’t control anything.

My first ride was about two years later, and my passion only grew from there until I wanted to do nothing else but kite surf.
