Hawaiian kites à la francaise

/NEWS

The French kite desinger Damien Girardin is always under fire because his boss is the surfing legend Robby Naish. InspiredBySports tells you the story of a Frenchman who has found the job of his dreams in paradise.

No other kite designer comes around with such original ideas as Giradin. The Frenchman still has many new ideas and projects in his mind, which only wait to be implemented. There are no boundaries for his creativity. He does not only develop new kites, but also improve his great and extravagant designs.

 

No wonder if you can spend the afternoon on the water while exploring new designs and creations. Damien seems to have found the perfect balance between job and lifestyle. Even if he does not try all the daredevil jumps and stunts immediately because of some injuries lately, he still describes himself as a wild dog.

 

He also passed on his talent and positive attitude to his two sons. And his eldest one seems to be one step ahead of the daddy in the wave. He catches much more waves than his father and even gets a sponsoring now. The kiting is probably in the blood of both brothers, because even Giradin’s four-year-old son may try new kites between Papas legs.

Everything seems to run perfectly for the Frenchman on the American island. But what about his home country France? Does the kite designer sometimes have homesickness and yearn for his old home? “During the last four years, I had the opportunity to spend a whole year in France. Since I’ve noticed that no matter how much I love France, I’ve become very accustomed to the Maui lifestyle. To be on the water every day, I really appreciate Maui.” Giradin says to the Kite magazine KITE Magazin.
