Meet Samb Pastor
The safety of an IKO-certified professional, the warmth of a local.
Born to the wind, passionate about the sea
Born and raised in Diego Suarez, I grew up on the shores of Sakalava Beach. The Varatraza wind and these turquoise waters shaped my passion from childhood.
Kitesurfing has never been just a job for me — it's a calling. After years of riding on Sakalava, I earned my IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) certification and decided to create this school with one core belief: kitesurfing is not learned on a conveyor belt.
Every rider is unique. Your fears, your strengths, your pace — everything is taken into account in 100% personalized coaching.
A different approach
No group lessons. No wasted time. A structured and fast progression, in complete safety.
We connect
Before you even arrive, we discuss your level, goals, and concerns. I prepare a tailor-made program.
We learn
Theory by the water, kite control on the beach, bodydrag then waterstart. Each step is validated before moving to the next.
We ride
You progress at your own pace. Short and intense sessions. Radio coaching for real-time feedback on the water.
