Lacuna Testing

Lacuna testing and team work

The beginning of 2025 saw a effervescente activity in the lacuna team with testing and development high on the list of priorities, followed by media production and promotion. 

Lacuna is a small brand, but with a combined experience of Dave and Sue in the kiteboarding industry and their incredible enthusiasm with mine on top, it’s a machine that never stops! 
There are always ideas and solutions being thrown about for every aspect of kiteboarding.

What is coming...

In the pipeline is the big air collection (Alpha) which will be followed by the release of the wave kite (Sigma) 

We don’t believe in release dates at Lacuna, simply because Lacuna only releases new equipment when it is ready and has been tested thoroughly!

It involves countless hours on the beach trying bridles and adjusting the new prototype design to have that incremental improvement in the design.

Testing new material is also time consuming as the hours on the water need to be added up.

Preparing Lords of Tram 2024

Lords of Tram 2024 Preparation

The year is flying and I am back in France with just one week to go to the beginning of the window period of Lords of Tram 2024, the first stop of the GKA big air world tour. 

Not only Race Director

Like in the last two editions of the contest, I will be Race director.
This year, however, I am more invested as I have joined Tristan Hattu and Etienne De Saunhac as one of the organisers of the event. Hence my presence a couple of weeks before.

It has been an intense 3 months of preparations behind the scenes.

The event is once again sponsored by the city of Barcares,  in collaboration with Duotone, Ion and Aneo, and it looks set to be the biggest and best yet! 

With all 3 organisers passionate about kiteboarding, and sharing a vision for the sport, we hope to grow the event and set ourselves up for further development in the sport. 

Lords of Tram 2024 is a go! 

So check out the Website and social media channels for the Green light and get ready for the Big air Kiteboarding show of the year!

Joining Lacuna Kiteboarding

Joining Lacuna

Super excited to announce that I have joined Lacuna Kiteboarding in a new adventure. 

Besides riding their newly designed gear, I will be assisting Lacuna in development and testing. I will also help gathering momentum on the media front.

Passion is key

Dave and Su Kay are passionate about the sport like I am. We speak the same language and believe in a brand that stands for functional, durable, enjoyable gear.

With my 24 years of frothing for the next kite session and their experience in the Kiteboarding industry, I believe we are going to make Lacuna into a “Real” kiteboarding brand. 

Omega

I’ll be putting the Omega through the Ced grinder in the next few months. So far it has already delivered hours of fun! 

For now I am riding a 133 React board and already testing some footpads to tune into the best big air option there is. 
With a custom made handle, I am already finding my board-offs are getting more stylish! 

Lacuna is a brand on the move with the idea of skipping the usual marketing bull of coming up with game changers every 6 months.

The core principles of Lacuna are simple, durable performance orientated designs. That fits perfectly with my vision of kiteboarding.
I have also been looking for a brand that would capitalise on my eclectic set of skills. From testing to media production and marketing vision.  I believe Dave and Su get that.

With joining Lacuna Kiteboarding, will be travelling with the Kites to Europe later this year and will focus some of my energy on getting feedback from riders around me. I will also be gathering Media material from different spots. 
In my opinion it is always good to ride all kinds of conditions to truly understand the application of kiteboarding gear. Not everyone gets to have perfect conditions on their doorstep.

Looking forward to this adventure! Hope to see you all along for the ride.
