Rider: David Tonijuan Colomer
Nationality: Spain
Currently living in: Around the world
Date of birth: 9 August 1995
How long have you been practicing kitesurfing for?
I started young at 11 years old (2006), so it’s been around 9 years so far.
What’s your favorite quiver?
Bandit 9sqm and Spicy board.
What’s your favorite spot and why?
I love so many spots! Brazil, Tarifa, Cape Town, Home… I like to kite in all different conditions.
There is no better feeling than a pure freestyle session in one of those lagoons in Brazil. There is nothing funnier than a Kicker’s session with the poniente winds in Tarifa or a hardcore training in Cape Town…
But then, I have to say that after travelling so much, the expression “HOME SWEET HOME” is REAL!!!
What’s a perfect session for you?
For me the perfect session is when you are training hard with your friends around to chase and emulate you while having fun.
Results:
- 3rd VKWC Fuerteventura – 2015
- 4th VKWC Venezuela – 2015
- 4th PKRA Brazil – 2014
- 5th PKRA China – 2014
- Spanish Champion – 2015
- 3rd European Championship EJKC – 2013
If you had to reincarnate, what would that be into?
Dolphin, shark or any other sea animal. But I wouldn’t mind being an eagle and fly higher than a kite hahaha…
Music or book?
I love music and I have been playing the piano since I was 8 years old. But the trips are keeping me away from it so that is why I am now learning how to play the guitar.
What is your life philosophy?
“Carpe diem”, as easy as that. I also believe that “the hard work” wins the talent when the talent is not used.
Hyperactive or quiet?
Definitely hyperactive, especially with extreme sports.
Spicy or sweet?
I like the wakestyle board BUT… I prefer sweet.
What is the craziest thing you ever did?
All my life is CRAZY!
