Welcome to banzai wave academy - I AM ANTONIO, YOUR NEXT KITESURF INSTRUCTOR 🤙
LET'S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER
HELLO, MY NAME IS ANTONIO BASTA AND I WAS BORN IN LUCERA ON 4 NOVEMBER 1981, IT WAS A WEDNESDAY. IN THIS PHOTO YOU ARE LOOKING AT ME IN 3 FIRST TIMES. THE FIRST, WITH THE WETSUIT ON THE LEFT, WAS THE FIRST TIME I TAKEN A KITESURF LESSON AS A PERFECT NEWBORN, IN FUERTEVENTURA (CANARY ISLANDS) BACK IN 2012. THEN I'LL TELL YOU BETTER ABOUT THIS TRIP WHICH CHANGED MY LIFE. THE SECOND, BELOW, WAS THE FIRST TIME I TEACHED KITESURFING TO SOMEONE, IT WAS 2019 AND I WAS IN MARINA DI GROSSETO AND THAT WAS THE TEST TO PASS TO ACQUIRE THE FEDERAL KITE INSTRUCTOR'S LICENSE, AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. AND THEN THE THIRD, ABOVE WITH MY SON MATTEO, WHO WAS ABOUT 3 YEARS IN THIS PHOTO, while he helped me inflate a sail, IN 2023 AT THE PARTICIPATION OF A KITESURF RACE, MY FIRST KITE RACE EVER IN VIESTE SUL GARGANO. I NEVER IMAGINED THAT I WOULD GET THIS FAR BY STARTING LITERALLY FROM SCRATCH. . . And you? where do you want to go? LET'S FIND OUT TOGETHER. . .
my mission ...
I LOVE THIS WONDERFUL SPORT, AND TEACHING IT MAKES IT EVEN MORE FASCINATING. WHEN SOMEONE TRUSTS YOU STARTING FROM SCRATCH, YOU ACCOMPANY HIM ON HIS LEARNING PATH, THEN YOU SEE HIM GO ALONE TO HAVE FUN IN SAFETY, MY SATISFACTION IS MAXIMUM. THIS IS MY GOAL.
My VISION ...
I HAVE AN EXTREMELY POSITIVE VISION OF MY FUTURE IN RELATION TO THIS SPORT. IT BROUGHT ME VERY CLOSE TO NATURE IN GENERAL, TO THE SEA OBVIOUSLY, AND TO ITS RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING ITS DYNAMICS, TO METEOROLOGY AND TO EVERYTHING THAT GOVERNS IT. SINCE I PRACTICED IT THE WAY I SEE AND EXPERIENCE THE SEA AND THE BEACH HAS RADICALLY CHANGED. IT WILL BE LIKE THIS FOR YOU TOO. GUARANTEED!
