“ Kitesurfing is my life, it's been attached to me forever. ”

David Interview

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

It started 15 years ago when I spent few years at the beach flying a foil kite because of i was too “ light” to get in the water with a proper kite. My father was a pioneer, had a hard accident and he was preetty scared of having me in the water those times were security was inexistent. Luckily the sport evolved quick and I had the chance to experience what became my passion by myself.

Kitesurfing is my life, it has been attached to me forever and it has given me such a good and pure lifestyle .

You just won the lottery, what would you do first?

It’s a funny question so I don’t buy lottery haha. However if such a big amount of value suddently comes to my hands, as I would not expect it I would first invest it while I think properly what to do with it. Must say that I would go to the place I would want that moment taking the people I love that can’t make it because of their economical situation. A van would also come quickly to me though.

Next destination?

Not sure yet but probably Greece.
