My name is Fabio Ingrosso
As a pioneer in snowkiting since 1996 and a six-time world champion, I have been actively involved in the development and testing of kites. Transitioning from my athletic career, I have been coaching since 2000, and I take pride in the achievements of my riders:
- Seven-time World champion Mikaili Sol (Brazil)
- GKA’20 champion Maxime Chabloz (Switzerland)
- U14 freestyle World Champion Finn Flugel (Germany)
Could you be next in line for success?
Coaching Above The Water
At our initial meeting, we establish goals for the week ahead and delve into the rider's current skill level. Throughout the day, Fabio leads two coaching sessions. The first involves video coaching, where he captures the rider's entire performance on the water, provides feedback and tips. The second session occurs on the water, where Fabio demonstrates tricks or exercises for the rider to practice together. Prior to each training day, Fabio conducts a briefing to review the previous day's footage, identify areas for improvement, and create a plan for the upcoming session. Additionally, we offer daily yoga classes with Lucia Pele to prepare the body for rigorous water training. Occasionally, Fabio conducts beach training to enhance muscle memory and improve on-water tricks effectively. This comprehensive approach consistently leads to remarkable success.
Meet the Team
Above the Water, founded by 6-time world champion Fabio Ingrosso, collaborated with top riders like Maxime Chabloz and Mikaili Sol, supported by Leeloo Yoga. Our team ensures quick and safe learning without compromising the joy of the sport. We take pride in our coaching expertise and dedicated team.

Cape Town
One of the best known spots in all of kitesurfing, Bloubergstrand is kiteboarding heaven if you want to boost monster jumps and kiteloops, or shred some amazing waves with your kite and enjoy endless downwinders. The wind on Bloubergstrand in the season is strong and the waves can get really big, so it’s definitely a spot more suited to kitesurfers with some experience. With Cape Town a short drive away, a beautiful spot with Table Mountain for a backdrop, and amazing food and drink on offer there are several very good reasons this place fills with kiteboarders during the South African summer.
Langebaan
Located on South Africa’s west coast, Langebaan transcends the typical seaside town experience with its breathtaking beauty and exceptional kitesurfing opportunities. This charming coastal gem features a vast flat water lagoon that ranks among the world's top kitesurfing destinations.
The main beach is manned by a rescue boat and the currents help to push you back on shore, while just round the corner at Shark Bay a shallow, flat area with less wind is also great for honing your skills.
As the wind intensifies, the water transforms into a playground for freestylers, characterized by a gentle chop and small waves that entice kitesurfers to showcase their tricks. It comes as no surprise that riders from across the globe flock to Langebaan to elevate their kitesurfing prowess.
