As a Florida native, I have spent the majority of my life on the ocean. I’ve always been driven towards kitesurfing, fishing, diving, free diving, snorkeling, surfing and exploring the water of the Turks & Caicos by boat. I first learned how to kiteboard at the age of 12 and have been teaching since 2012.
The people that I’ve connected with and friends I’ve made is what inspires me to continue to grow and improve KiteProvo and SUP Provo. My learning experience was very memorable and I’m grateful to be able to offer this experience to others. I won’t ever forget the excitement I had when I got my first ride. And then the overwhelming feeling of accomplishment when I had my first ‘upwind’ kiting session.
When I was learning to kiteboard 20+ years ago, the kites performed and reacted much differently than today’s kites. It’s been enjoyable to witness and use all the advances in technology as the industry continues to grow. These days, I find I enjoy foil boarding on both kites and wings the most. Kiteboarding and KiteProvo remain a big part of my life and I’m thrilled to be a part of your learning experience.

My very first experience with a kite took place on the Hel Peninsula in Poland. This is where I completed my zero-to-kitesurfer course at the Kite.pl school. From that moment on, my life changed dramatically. I became 100% absorbed and fell in love with kitesurfing. I love extreme sports; that thrill awakens a completely different person in me – ambitious and ready for action.
Sports have been present throughout my entire life; snowboarding, skiing, and windsurfing. I like to be constantly in motion and take on new challenges.
Progress in kitesurfing came quite quickly, so I decided to share this passion with others and completed the IKO level 1 instructor course.
Over the years, I worked at various schools in Poland as well as abroad (for example Zanzibar, Egypt, Dominican Republic, United States), where I constantly deepened my experience as an IKO instructor and School Manager. I am excited to now be part of the Kite Provo team in Turks and Caicos. The flat and shallow water combined with great wind conditions and weather are a perfect opportunity for students to progress at any level.

My first experience with kitesurfing was in Máncora, Peru. I went from zero to hero in the wavy Peruvian pacific ocean. After that I knew everything would be different because I would start living the life that I dreamt as a kid. Went into my first race after a year of kiting and ended up on the podium, that pushed me more on taking it serious and went to Tarifa to get my IKO certification.
From that point on I’ve been teaching around the world in places like Paracas (Peru), Limnos (Greece), Tarifa (Spain), Máncora (Peru), always having fun and good experiences with

Getting KiteSurfing lessons in 2017 was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It sparked a deep connection for wind sports that’s shaped much of my life since.
I grew up in Rhode Island, and took my first lesson on a cold fall day in Cape Cod and was hooked immediately. From then on, I had a stormy day on the water kiting or surfing before attending San Diego State. Here my connection to the ocean grew even stronger.
After teaching in both San Diego and Rhode Island, I got my IKO certification with SurfSchool Castricum, in the Netherlands. I look forward to windy days ahead with KiteProvo and sharing my knowledge with others!

December 24, 2022BEST Kitesurfing and Mangrove Tour Experience! - This place deserves more than 5 stars! Both my kids did private lessons over Spring Break with Mati and Julie. They are both high school athletes and have a lot... read more of experience with MANY different kinds instructors and both said they were amazing instructors. The kids ended up going back for privates 2 more days (would have been 3 but there was no wind!) My husband even ended up doing a private with Antek because he was so impressed. All 3 had such a great time. Our biggest regret is not doing lessons the entire week we were in Turks and Caicos. And MY biggest regret is not joining in on the fun. The staff is super friendly. Don't look anywhere else. These folks are the real deal. Also do the Mangrove Tour through Kite Provo. Mark, who is also a kiteboarding instructor, led this tour and it was FANTASTIC!
