Head Instructor

«En el mar, la vida es más sabrosa» – I cannot agree more with this song. I very much enjoy being in the water and passing on my knowledge to my students. I am a kitesurf, wing and foil instructor and live with my family here in El Cuyo. In case of a no-wind day, I’ll happily take you on a day trip around the area. Native to El Cuyo, I will happily recommend you where to go and what to explore – so you will discover the best of the surroundings.

Native to El Cuyo, I learned kitesurfing as a young boy together with my friends. I love that kitesurfing allows me to always challenge myself – higher, faster, more complex or with added style… In case I am not teaching or kiting myself, I go fishing, take visitors on guided tours or dedicate myself to environmental work.

I have a huge passion for kitesurfing and recently discovered the thrill of wingfoiling. I love that my work as a certified kiteboarding instructor allows me to travel the world. El Cuyo is one of my favorite spots – not only for the wind and water conditions, but also for the laid-back vibe and friendly people.

I’m a fisherman by profession, but my heart belongs to kitesurfing. Growing up in El Cuyo, I learned kitesurfing from my friends and now I pass on my knowledge to our students. What I love about kitesurfing is the feeling of freedom on the water – and the amazing views of the coast. The sunsets from the water are amazing.

The first time I came to El Cuyo I planned on staying one month, and ended up staying six. This place is simply magical. Since then, I keep on going back and forth between Yucatán and other amazing kiteboarding spots in the world. If you are looking for a lesson in German or French, I’ll be more than happy to introduce you to kitesurfing or wingfoiling.

El Cuyo – what a picturesque place. I simply adore the stunning views the village and its beaches have to offer. As a result, I oversee the image, branding and communication channels of  Tropikal Kite-Foil-Wing School. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to keep up to date with what is happening in El Cuyo.

I came to El Cuyo 12 years ago – and don’t think I’ll ever leave again. Addicted to wind sports, I cannot imagine a better place to kitesurf, kitefoil and wingfoil than this one. I am happy to be part of this boutique kite school, perfectly located at the Boutique Hotel LunArena. This allows us to cater for all needs.
