SROKA

Hi Bruno. We know you have a history full of water sports, including a very successful stint as French, European and World Champion in kitesurfing. Tell us all a little about your background, and how you came to hydrofoiling?

Yes, I am one of the pioneers of kitesurfing in France. I’ve participated in different French and worldwide competitions since 1999, and during my kitesurfing career I became World Champion three times and European Champion several times. Outside of the competitions, I was also a competition kite and board gear tester for the biggest watersport brands. This helped me to develop my knowledge and skills, but I’ve never limited myself to just kitesurfing, and from a very young age I’ve also enjoyed windsurfing, surfing, SUP, and then hydrofoiling since 2004, when I started kitefoiling, and at that time it was a real tough discipline! We were foiling with ski boots fixed to the board, which made the foiling sessions ultra-physical.
