Martín Baltazar: Certified IKO Kitesurf Instructor in Puclaro, Chile

In my own words:

Kitesurfing for me is a direct and fast form of expression, a sport that allows me to connect with myself and nature. I started riding at Embalse Puclaro when I was 15, and since 2015 I’ve been teaching it professionally: today that’s more than 10 years of experience as the school’s founder and a certified IKO Level 1 instructor.

In that time I’ve had the chance to teach more than 300 students, and to coach and ride at spots across Chile, Greece, Spain, Morocco, Tanzania, Poland, and Brazil. Each of those places showed me something different about kiting, but also something they all share: a wonderful community of kitesurfers you find anywhere in the world — and one that matters to me just as much as the sport itself.

My training methodology focuses heavily on the psychological and mental aspect of coaching. I make sure you have the best mindset and confidence to learn safely under IKO international safety standards. This is then complemented by deep technical analysis, as I love for people to truly understand why and how we ride. This proven approach guarantees the fastest and safest progression during your Puclaro kitesurf lessons.
