Description

The legendary Kitesurf group is the original kitesurfing group created in summer 1998 by Stefano Rosso (Brazil), a pioneer kitesurfer. As a kitesurfing pioneer, Stefano Rosso has created a legendary group that has shaped the sport to its present days.

Read the old messages and you will find many contributions from the kitesurfing inventors: Bruno Legaignoux (France), Cory Roeseler (US) and many other kiting pioneers: Raphael Salles (FOne, France), Dave Culps (KiteShip, US), Ian Young (Wind Designs, Australia), Ken Winner (North, US), Don Montague (Naish, Hawaii), Michel Montmigny (ConceptAir, Canada), Hung Vu (Kitesurfingschool.org), Laurent Ness (Axel, France), etc. Some of those pioneers are still reading the group's messages daily and some even post fairly frequently.

In 2004, Stefano was too busy with many of his businesses and have transferred the general management responsibility of the group to Hung Vu, who was owner and moderator until June 2007 when he too had to quit. The group is currently co-owned by Tim Mellor (Australia) and Tunico Lage (Brazil). Sign in, enjoy and live with the legend...
