Christian and Karine are Cabrinha’s UK Kitesurf coaching team and IKsurfmag’s technique editors. Mixing their subtle blend of Christian’s endless coaching experience with Karine’s deep understanding of pedagogy from her years as a teacher, along with the obvious male/female differences, and the formidable Anglo-Franco alliance, they offer their guests, both here in the UK and at various windy spots around the globe, a truly unique style of coaching.

They are happy to be sponsored by Cabrinha, NPX and Animal.

Where and When

UK: The pair are resident at FCWatersports in Poole, where they offer both private coaching and day clinics throughout the year. If you fancy an introduction to advanced coaching this season log onto www.fcwatersports.co.uk

How it works

Their clinics are aimed at male and female kiters of all levels. From those who can readily water re-launch their kite and ride along (albeit not upwind), to those who are fully advanced in the sport and are dreaming about their first handle pass!

With this level of autonomy you are ready for a meteoric boost through Christian and Karine’s coaching syllabus, from Park and Ride, through In Flight Entertainment, The Spin Dr., Perfect Pop, Wakey-Wakey, Surfs Up and onto Unhinged.

The idea being either to help push you out of your comfort zone and encourage you into trying a few new tricks, or to add those chunks of knowledge necessary for the more gung-ho amongst you.

On and off water, the coaching is very much flexible and the emphasis is on customising it to your individual needs, enabling you to reach personal goals. There is no set order to learning, rather a flexible understanding, allowing you to work on your strengths and overcome your weaknesses.

Through interactive analysis on the simulator, coaching on and off the water and the trusty video camera you can rest assured that the next elusive move is but a step away.

As always the group environment will prove motivating and fun, whether you are fighting to find the perfect stance, dreaming of flying for the first time, aspiring to any number of aerial antics or cheeky transitions
