Cédric, Eleveight Kites Ambassador

Hey riders! My name is Cédric, I'm 44, I live in Pornic, I'm married and a dad of four kids.

I started kitesurfing in 2003 with Wipika kites. That'll bring back memories for the old-timers! Before that, I used to do funboard, and from my very first kite sessions, I knew it was going to become a real passion.

This discovery made me want to travel to ride on legendary spots:
• 2005: Cabarete, the Mecca of kite at the time
• 2013: Corsica and its varied conditions
• 2021: Rhodes
• 2022: Mauritius, One Eye remains to this day the most beautiful wave I've surfed
• 2023: Fuerteventura

In Mauritius, the whole family got into it: my wife and my two kids discovered kitesurfing on the Lagoon Beach spot. Since then, my son has become completely hooked!

In parallel, I also snowboard when I leave the water for the mountains.

I was an F-One rider for over 20 years. But I wanted to discover another vision, another approach to kitesurfing. It was natural for me to get closer to Eleveight in 2023. Thanks to Philippe and Greg for their trust and welcome to the team.

What attracted me to Eleveight: the rider spirit, the European manufacturing quality, a coherent, reliable, high-performance range with real style.

The RS is for me a true 4x4 of kitesurfing: it boosts high for jumps, re-powers perfectly for kiteloops, all while offering an unbeatable quality / technology / price ratio.

Today, I dedicate myself solely to kitesurfing. My riding style is a mix of old school and big air. When conditions are right, I also take my strapless surfboard to hit the waves.

Kitesurfing is much more than a sport: the pleasure of meeting friends on the water, a real outlet to release daily stress, an indescribable joy when the wind is perfect and the tricks land, and especially incredible encounters between passionate riders.
