I grew up in Cabarete, Dominican Republic and started kiteboarding in the year 2000 when I was 11 years old. This was a time where equipment and functionality such as bow kites, chicken loop quick release, depower systems, twin tip boards or waist harness did not exist.
I used C-kites with just two line systems. Luckily, kiteboarding has evolved since then and today it is much safer to learn this amazing sport.
I started competing in 2003/2004 in national competitions. Through these competitions at an early age, I gained a lot of valuable experience. I get to travel around the world to attend world championships.
I was sponsored by the kite legend Lou Wainman. After that, I joined the Spleene kiteboarding international team from Germany and now I am a part of my own school with Cabrinha.
Next to competing I discovered the joy of sharing my knowledge and passion about kiteboarding to others, and I shifted my focus more to teaching.
In 2007 I completed the IKO course and signed up for an English class, determined to pursue a teaching career.
Today I own my kitesurfing school in Cabarete, Dominican Republic named Optimal Kitesurfing School.
We have the greatest team at the Optimal Kitesurfing School with Iko certified instructors and assistants.
The whole team at Optimal is very dedicated to our students and strive to always provide the very best and safest methods for learning the sport. Before you know it, you will fly your kite, feeling alive and free. It is the best feeling when I see our students doing well and sharing my love.
Years of kitesurfing experience from the very beginning.
I Came to Kite Beach, Cabarete before there was a kite beach and fell in love with the location ever since I had my location in Miami, Florida.
Distribution, sales, lessons, kite trips, even kite repairs have been a part of his combined experience in the kitesurfing lifestyle.
