If your heart beats for kitesurfing and you yearn to explore a new horizon with the guidance of world-class riders.
Have a trick you've been itching to nail but lacked the confidence? Let's dissect it together and conquer it with ease.
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.

Los Roques
Los Roques is an archipelago nestled in the Caribbean and is part of Venezuela. Comprising around 350 islands, cays, and islets shielded by a coral reef, the area boasts incredibly flat, crystal-clear waters.
Among all our camp, Los Roques stands out as one of the most remarkable places. Its allure goes beyond its beauty. The archipelago is meticulously preserved, with strict regulations in place to safeguard the national park. The "pousadas," traditional Venezuelan hotels, are limited to one floor, and there are daily visitor quotas to maintain a sustainable balance. These measures ensure that the island remains not only captivating but also safe and inviting.
Kitesurfing in Paradise
The wind conditions are simply remarkable: ranging from 16 to 25 knots, consistently blowing every day from 10 am to 6 pm during the peak season from January to May.
The archipelago offers a variety of islands that are perfect for kitesurfing. With 12 sandy lagoons featuring shallow and crystal-clear waters shielded by coral reefs, the conditions are ideal for smooth and tranquil rides.
Access to the islands is exclusively by boat, ensuring a full-day boat presence for kitesurfing and as a rescue boat. Beginners need not fret as safety is our top priority!
