WHY HAVING A COACH IS IMPORTANT IN KITEBOARDING?
First and foremost, I need to differentiate between the two roles: a trainer primarily focuses on the technical, tactical, and physical aspects of kiteboarding, while a coach accompanies and supports athletes in their competitions. A coach also addresses the technical aspects of kiteboarding but goes the extra mile to transform students' weaknesses into strengths.
"The coach must understand his athlete and help him to achieve his goals as quickly as possible. As a coach, I need to visualize his goals and find the right keys to unlock the doors to his success."
CAN ATHLETES ACHIEVE SUCCESS WITHOUT A COACH?
An athlete is seldom seen entering a competition without a support system. Every competitor has a mentor, even if they do not have a formal coach. An individual training alone often indicates a lack of strong competition. In high-level international events with over 300 participants, winning without support is nearly impossible. Achieving peak performance requires attention to various aspects, and only a qualified coach can design a suitable training program to reach that level.
MY RESULT AS A COACH
GKA Freestyle Youth Multi-time
World Champion
Fabio and the whole AW team supported me from the very beginning, even before I started competing in the World Championships. Fabio's coaching pulls you out of your comfort zone, building tricks move by move, working on technique, strengthening muscle memory not only on the water, but also in the gym. All this constant training requires a lot of discipline from me. My success in the championships is our common merit.
GKA 7-time
World Champion
You have been my coach since 2015. I know I haven’t always made it easy, but I appreciate all the encouragement you gave me along the way. You pushed me to my limits and I went out of my comfort zone during our coaching. We went through a lot together, but you were always there, supported me at competitions, helped me sign contracts with my first sponsors. In the end, everything has helped me to grow stronger and learned to aim higher. Thank you coach; keep doing what you do.”

To be honest, a coach is mandatory in every sport because he is the only person that is going to take training and bettering you seriously. Because I started my career with alpine skiing, I know that without a coach, it is very hard or even impossible to get to the top. Sometimes during competition I don’t feel like I can land a trick, and in those moments Fabio helps me get to the best I can be.
Sankt Peter-Ording, Germany
Sankt Peter-Ording, located on the North Sea coast of Germany, is a dream destination for kiters in August. With its famously wide beaches, consistent thermal winds, and laid-back vibe, it’s the perfect place to ride, train.
Wind & Conditions:
August offers steady side-onshore winds ranging from 15 to 25 knots, ideal for freeride, freestyle, and big air sessions. The shallow waters near the shore and wide tidal flats make it a safe and beginner-friendly spot, while the deeper zones and kickers are perfect for advanced riders.
