About us

We are
the Caramba team

We are a team of passionate kitesurfers and snowkiters from South Tyrol, Italy.

In 2021 we fulfilled our dream with the Caramba Kiteschool and turned our hobby into a profession. We look forward to share the passion for this action sport with you and to teach you all the important things.

Our values

Right from the start, we as a team set three values that are personally important to us and according to which we would like to work every day.

Your learning success

Everyone learns in their own way. In order to be able to react to your individual needs as best as possible, we teach privately or in small group with a maximum of four people. We are kitesurf instructors licensed by the VDWS and only train with the latest, safest material. We think this is where your (learning) success lies.

A practical course

Practice makes perfect: the more time you spend on the kite or wing, the more confident you will become in handling it. We pass on theoretical knowledge to you in compact sessions that are as practical as possible.

The enjoyment of sport

First and foremost, the kite course should give you much pleasure in your learning progress. We will give you the appropriate framework in which you can practice, focus on yourself and learn everything about safety. In the evening after the kite course, we like to sit together and just have a good time.

Ay, caramba!

Our team

Kate

Kate is your first point of contact for questions and concerns. She takes care of all sorts of organizational and marketing tasks for our kite school.

Kate finds the perfect balance in the kite courses she holds. And in the kite sessions with her team in the evening.

Ivi

With his calm, motivating manner, Ivi quickly ensures that our students feel comfortable during the course and make great progress. When he’s not holding courses, he takes on the role of our personal videographer and editor.

As a passionate foiler, Ivi takes care of trimming the soft kites and sharpening our foils carefully. Afterwards, of course, he always has to test his improvements to the material extensively.

Jonno

Even on stressful days, Jonno doesn't lose his composure and immediately infects our students with it in the course. He is not only our man for kiting, but also for wing foiling.

Jonno is a talented handyman. He likes to build all sorts of practical things for our kite school out of old wood and broken boards – you're sure to discover some of these at our station.

Andy

As soon as the first breeze blows, Andy is highly motivated and simply unstoppable! He is guaranteed to be the first to have all his kites on a leash and wait for the students on the boat straight away.

With big ideas for his next kite tricks and for our kite school, he is the one who ensures that we constantly improve. And makes the whole group laugh with his crazy stories.

Miri

From the North Sea to the mountain lake: After arriving with us, Miri promptly went on a snowboard for the first time and then went on her first snowkite session. What a change of scenery!

As a certified kite instructor, Miri is actively supporting us at our kite spot Reschensee this summer season. And enriches our team with her helpful, warm manner.

Phil

When sister Kate took him kitesurfing last summer, Phil probably had no idea that he would be so hooked on kitesurfing.

Now, as an intern in high season, he ensures that everything relating to the courses at Lake Reschen runs smoothly: preparing the kites, handing out wetsuits, renting out SUPs – and of course lots of kiting!

Would you like to
learn kiting with us?

We are looking forward to meeting you and enjoying our kite sessions together.

You can’t stop the waves but you can learn to surf.
