Ambassador Portrait – Kinkin
Kinkin, 40 years old and 90 kg, is cheerful and settled in Le Havre after traveling quite a bit for work. With the sea just a stone's throw away, it's hard to resist the call of the sessions. "I have no choice, I go in the water almost every day," he jokes.
He discovered wingfoil from the very beginning. The attraction was immediate, but the learning curve proved to be tough.
