Non-Kitesurfing passions - Health and fitness, mountain biking, hiking, trail running, nutrition, life coaching, travel, reading, personal development.Mowgli and Tom are passionate trip organisers and professional Kitesurfing coaches with well over a decade of experience, teaching all around the world. In the most recent years Mowgli has been teaching new wave Kitesurfers as well as coaching advanced strapless surfboard riders on wave camps and clinics in Cape Town South Africa. During his travels, Mowgli has also been involved in teaching disabled riders as well as leading downwinders in Brazil and in Cape Town as well as taking freestyle clinics. Mowgli is a very well known, easily identifiable and well respected character in the Kitesurfing world as not only is he a super hard worker who is highly organised (with German efficiency!) and can fix just about anything but he loves to do things the right way and puts his heart and soul into his work. He is not impressed with big egos or anything remotely superficial and is always humble, clearly getting as much joy from helping others progress as he does from his own riding. Using his language skills Mowgli has co-written the German version of "Learn Kitesurfing Faster" and recorded the first ever Kitesurfing audiobook. Non-Kitesurfing passions - Rock climbing, nature, hiking, nutrition, travel, reading, yoga and meditation. "Our aim is to provide you with the ultimate Kitesurfing experience.
