Virginie
Virginie
Hello! I am Virginie Rochette, a French woman living in Brazil since 2007, practicing and passionate about kitesurfing since 2003 (and snowboarding since 1989).
I have been teaching kitesurfing since 2006, giving lessons to all levels, all ages and all conditions since then in different countries before falling in love with Brazil where I decided to stay, and to create my school in 2013, in Lagoinha.
I am an IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) Examiner (Instructor), and I train kitesurfing instructors of all nationalities. I love teaching and am passionate about pedagogy and teaching techniques.
I still practice myself almost every day, specializing in freestyle, but I know how to adapt to each student to help them progress at their own pace in complete safety, whether they are a total beginner, intermediate, advanced or expert, child, adult or senior.
I also manage the team of instructors, reservations and welcoming new arrivals, to ensure that I offer you the best possible stay!
