Pro Training Fuerte kitecamps videos!!!
Here the 2 first videos from the kitecamp I held in Fuerteventura this summer with Pro Training Fuerte. I had a great group of guys and I’ll upload a video each day for the guys to keep a good Souvenir from our Kite coaching holidays!!!
Here the young rider Liam Whaley who I beleive has many chances to become world champ in a few years if he continues riding that good. We had him training on a base of 7 minutes heats in order to get him ready for the PKRA in the south of the island. Running up the beach with his kite, spinning, running up the volcano… He is a tough boy!
and to best friends Willy and Adrien who came to ride the perfect spots of Fuerte to learn some new tricks, they both did a good job too:
Kitecamp in Dakhla, 23 – 30th of September.
English version:
After a succesful kitecamp in Dakhla in June we decided, together with Fun&Fly and Hotel Océan Vagabond, to repeat the camp in September (23rd until the 30th). I was surprised by the perfection of the spots, wind, and specially the nice and perfect location of the hotel… It’s a luxury to have a nice bungalow with delicious food in the middle of the desert, and a Morrocan tea or a beer after 4-5h of riding.
So I’m again going to help the trainees to improve their riding, from a single jibe to power handle passes, any level, any gender, so if you’d like to come and join us for an intense week of kiting, stretching, good food, holidays and meeting people in a relaxed environment, don’t hesitate to contact myself or Loic at loic@fun-and-fly.com or 05 67 31 16 20.
French version:
Après un succès lors du kitecamp en juin, en partenariat avec Fun&Fly et l’Hôtel Océan Vagabond, nous avons décidé de renouveler cela du 23 au 30 Septembre. J’ai été très agréablement surpris par la perfection des conditions et surtout par l’emplacement de l’hôtel sur le spot… C’est tout un luxe de pouvoir manger un délicieux tajine avec la vue sur le spot, ou de boire un bon thé à la menthe ou une bière après 4-5h de nav.
C’est donc avec plaisir que je retourne encadrer des kiters qui souhaitent apprendre de nouvelles figures; du simple jibe aux handles en puissance, il y en aura pour tous les niveaux. Si vous souhaitez vous joindre à nous dans une semaine de kite à fond, d’étirements, de rencontres, le tout dans une bonne ambiance sportive et détendue, N’hésitez pas à me contacter ou alors à Loïc: loic@fun-and-fly.com ou au 05 67 31 16 20.
Fuerteventura to Tarifa. www.protrainingfuerte.com
Fuerte was full of kite, work, waves, parties, training, surfing, friends, volcanoes, dunes, reef, rocks, broken boards, etc…
I spent 3 months in Fuerteventura to help my trainer Luis de Dios “Kuky” to build up a training center (www.protrainingfuerte.com), an exciting project full of new experiences.
I was surprised by how good Fuerte is for water sports too. Wether in winter or summer there are always great conditions for kiting, windsurfing or surfing. Summer is great for kiting so I could ride almost everyday in perfect and difficult spots. I say almost everyday because I was lazy to do so, not because the wind was lacking since I think we had 2 months with wind every single day.
The center is nice, just by the kitebeach in hotel Caleta del Mar, and we had plenty of kiters training there already. Alvaro Onieva, Reno Romeu, Florian Daubos, Forest Bakker, Liam Whaley, Ariel Corniel, Gianni Aragno, Soufiane Hamaini, Alex Bournay, blablabla… all enjoyed training from a few sessions to months with Kuky. It’s entertaining, funny and efficient for improving your riding, so we obviously all liked it.
I also did kitecamps and coaching lessons on the water. The first kitecamp was particularly funny and we had a great group of motivated guys in and out of the water. We trained also pro riders during the camp to help them get used to the competition intensity of doing many heats in a row. This was hard to Liam and Ariel but they did a good job. As for the other trainees they did some insane backloops, fronts, blind, railey to blind… All in a fun environment full of sport, just what we want to provide with Pro Training Fuerte.
Now I’m back in Tarifa, testing some material and will drive up to France soon.
