THE STORY
FH Academy SSRL was conceived in December 2014 in Fuerteventura – Corallejo, during a winter season as a senior IKO Level 3 instructor of Gabriele Ghione – Founder & CEO – with the intention of bringing quality and innovation to aspiring students.
• The first year – summer season 2015, Porto Pollo – was quick and challenging, but full of satisfaction. Alberto Rondina and Cabrinha supported the project without hesitation. From a small blue tent 3mt x 3mt, FHA has managed to carve out its slice of beach and get its school, initially only restricted to kitesurfing with our great Sponsor JEEP® that still supports us.
• The second year – summer season 2016, Porto Pollo – records the introduction of the windsurfing school. It was clear to everyone that FHA was ready for the next steps. New relevant collaborations: sponsor by REEF Europe.
• The third year – summer season 2017, Porto Pollo – the luxury center Cala Di Volpe was created. A new concept that projects FHA into the yachting world and pushes it to raise the level of service offered more and more. In addition, the “wind chasing” service has been introduced, the possibility of making trips by searching for the places most exposed to the wind without being penalized by the wind direction. Strategic and exemplary was the introduction of Posada as a support spot for the days of sirocco. Relevant new collaborations: RED BULL.
• The fourth year – summer season 2018, Porto Pollo – the creation of the surf shop in Barrabisa, the opening of the video production company, the opening of the first wakeboard & Wakesurf school and the introduction of the ATM service in Porto Pollo are noted. Relevant new collaborations: QOODER & BETA TOOLS.
• Fifth Year – summer season 2019, Porto Pollo – begins with the opening of the cycling center in Porto Pollo with the support of Giant® Italia, kite brand change in favor of CORE KITEBOARDING. New relevant collaborations: sponsor by Ichnusa.
The FHA team works every year in order to update more and more its offer and attention to detail. Our greatest mission is your satisfaction.
Thank you for reading our experience 😊
GABRIELE GHIONE
IKO L3 PRO and owner of FH Academy.
After working for years in different commercial and tourist sectors, I decided to dedicate my life to transmitting the passion and happiness derived from Kitesurfing.
Mine has never been just a pastime, in fact right from the start I have run numerous courses to perfect my personal technique and that of teaching, from IKO modules to NLP courses.
I worked in several spots, with varied characteristics thus giving me a very wide experience in different wind and sea conditions: Vietnam, Canary Islands, Brazil, California, and of course many Italian spots; also the approach with students of different nationalities and cultures has enriched my teaching method and approach.
The passion for Kitesurfing and my belief that it is something superior to a sport like others, led me to found the non-profit organization Flyin Hearts and we are experimenting with Kitesurfing as a therapy for adolescents suffering from psycho behavioral problems.
Working with these guys through Wind Therapy is a push for me and my team to improve day after day, not only for them, but also for all our students.
