Elite Kite Club
Our Team
At EKCP we're living in the Yin & Yang that nature has to offer to us !
Ulisses
Ludwig
I bring a unique background to the team. Beyond my five consecutive years teaching kitesurfing and managing the shuttle transport on Lake Garda, I also have an academic qualification as a Sports Economist.
​
Eight years ago, I moved from my hometown in Guatemala to Germany. I embraced the new culture, but often felt a bit lost about my true professional direction. The turning point came when my brother got a job offer as a kitesurf instructor at Lake Garda and encouraged me to take this offer.
​
That opportunity changed everything. Five years later, I'm excited and immensely grateful to be launching our own kite school (2024)! This journey has been supported by wonderful people, and I look forward to sharing this passion with you, providing a supportive and thoughtful approach to your time on the water.
Freedom is what drives me. As a 15-year-old in Guatemala, I dreamed of running a surf school on the beach. University life soon showed me I wasn't made for an office, leading me to trade a desk for the constant interaction with nature that kitesurfing provides.
This passion quickly grew into an expertise. I've gained valuable coaching experience teaching in diverse conditions across spots like Sardegna, Lake Garda, and the Netherlands.
​
Last year, Ludwig and I chased after our own perfect spot, bringing us here to Panama. We are excited to share this small, windy paradise with you, built on years of experience helping others learn and enjoy the sport.

Rusty
I’m excited to be part of the EliteKiteClub team. I’m originally from Ukraine, and since 2022 I’ve been living in Germany. At some point I decided to follow my dreams and started traveling the world.
During my journey, I met Ludwig and Ulises at lake Garda in Italy, where we worked together at a kite school and became great friends. My travel experience made me realize that all board sports are my true passion — especially kitesurfing.
​
Now I’m excited to share this lifestyle with others and introduce you to the incredible world of watersports!

Welcome to Panama!
Romane
I’m French, I studied communication back home, and I’ve turned my passion for photo and video into my career. I met the team last summer at Lake Garda, where I also fell in love with kitesurfing!
I love being behind the camera, capturing special moments and unique details. Shooting people on the water is always exciting, when there landing a new trick or smiling after an amazing session. My goal is to capture the moments you’ll have with us and turn them into memories you’ll always keep !
