Living for the rush of BigAir

I live for the rush of BigAir Kitesurfing. The adrenaline, the challenge, the freedom. My journey has taken me across the world, from stormy waves to serene coastlines, where I’ve coached countless riders to break through their limits.

My mission is simple: to inspire, teach, and elevate. Focusing on precision, technique, and the mindset required to master the sport, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s make each session a leap toward unlocking your full potential.

How I Coach

My coaching starts with you: what you want to achieve, where you are now, and what helps you learn. I look at your technique, confidence and preparation together, so we can choose a clear, achievable next step.

I think of progression as building a house. Before adding height and complexity, we need a foundation that holds.

  • You come first

    I start with your goals, your current level, your confidence and the way you learn. The work is shaped around you, not a standard recipe.

  • Foundation before the house

    For jumping and BigAir, that means connecting take-off, body positioning, kite control — including the wind window — and landing. Strong foundations are what make more complex tricks possible. If you are just starting out, we build your riding basics first.

  • Break it down, build it back up

    I see a trick as a chain of puzzle pieces. Rather than chasing it as one big movement, we identify which pieces are already in place and which need attention, practise the individual components deliberately, then connect them into the full movement. Theory explains why a movement works; observation, video analysis and on-water feedback help you recognise what to adjust and apply it in your next session.

  • The whole rider

    Fear, focus and physical readiness affect how you ride. Alongside technique, I support your confidence, mindset, strength, mobility, endurance and recovery — step by step, without rushing you.

  • Purposeful practice

    Planning, sessions, feedback and review turn understanding into practice. We look at what happens in your sessions and adapt the next steps as you develop.

How We Work Together

In Zero2Hero, BigAir Coaching and the Athlete Program, this approach comes to life through three parts. Each program page explains them in detail for its level. Coach mentorship for instructors follows its own, separate format.

  • Coaching Plan — your personal roadmap: theory, a personalised kite training plan and gym/workout plan, 1-on-1 meetings and video analysis, delivered through a custom-designed, private coaching portal. Meetings can be online or in person.
  • Training Sessions — practical coaching on the beach and on the water, with me there in person alongside you.
  • Off-Water Training — optional in-person gym sessions coached by me, separate from the gym plan already included in your Coaching Plan.
