One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

April 2009: diving with, under, on top and next to Manta Rays at Tofo beach, Mozambique; amazing would be the understatement of the year...! Actually, snorkeling with the Whale shark on the way back to shore could qualify as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm officially the only kitesurfer in Beira and as I was lucky enough to learn it from a good friend myself, I have started showing others the tips & tricks to let them join in the thrill!
