St Martin

Saint Martin isn’t your typical kite destination. It’s an island where two cultures sit side by side, where conditions shift from flat water to reef breaks in a single session, and where the experience goes far beyond the time you spend on the water. From the steady trade winds of Orient Bay to the raw energy of the outer reefs, and from long French lunches to late nights on the Dutch side, it’s a place that delivers far more than just good kiting. For Theo Demanez, it’s home, and even after travelling the world, it’s still one of the most complete destinations he knows.

The raley is jolly good fun and starts a completely new progression along one of kiting’s many paths, and for those of you who may...
