About Marc Jacobs
Born & Raised in New Zealand | Part-time dad | Full-time Explorer
Marc Jacobs grew up on the rugged coasts of New Zealand. The heavy winds and challenging conditions there forced him to learn how to ride with extreme efficiency. Although he is globally renowned for his raw power, his coaching is actually built on absolute precision.
For Marc, kitesurfing is not a matter of luck, but of understanding physics and timing. His years of experience at the highest level allow him to deconstruct your technique to its core and rebuild it, ensuring you hit the water with 100% confidence, no matter how hard the wind blows.
