Who's Raul?

Kite with the original master.

Raul de Lille is a Cozumel born and raised IKO and PASA-certified kiteboarding instructor.

He was previously a world champion and Olympic windsurfer.

In 1999, kiteboarding came along, so he “took the ride” - hanging up his windsurfing gear and focusing on kiteboarding.

In 2001, already one of Mexico’s best kiters, he was certified as the island's first instructor by Paul Menta, PASA Master Instructor and Kite Surf the Earth founder.

After pioneering the sport in Mexico and winning the first ever national championship, Raul has given up competition and now enjoys training new kiteboard addicts.

He is currently one of the sport's most sought after coaches.

Raul is an IKO Level 2 instructor (#5947), a qualified lifeguard and PADI scuba divemaster.
