Born and bred in the South Pacific, Tom grew up living and breathing the ocean. Since '99 he’s been the vice world champion twice, won multiple French and New Caledonian freestyle comps and been the only Frenchman to win a PKRA stop.
When he’s not travelling the world competing in the Redbull King of the Air or doing photo shoots for his kite sponsors; Duotone Kiteboarding, Tom joins the Zephyr team to deliver personalised kitesurfing adventure packages on his home turf in New Caledonia.
Riding alongside professionals is your ticket to improve and test your limits. Tom’s slick and stylish riding is something to behold; he’s best known for old-school moves that are big, high and always stylish.
Your time on the water starts the same day you arrive in New Caledonia as you cruise out to your first Islands on his luxury 43ft sailing catamaran. Then it’s action-packed every day with Tom and the crew.
For the week, your competent crew will follow the winds to the best kite spots along the coast on a one-way exploration where you'll see none; or very few, other kiters... Perfect!
If you are a competent freerider or freestyler who’s up for long down-winders, boat launches, crazy kite adventures and cruising the open ocean, then this tour is for you.
