The Kite Club - Buccanners Beach
Buccannerrs Beach is the name of the new Kite Surf club in Dervio. Speaking on behalf of everyone in the team who likes to kite, our skills, enthusiasm, obsession, mania and lust to kite are all traced back to this club. With its cozy environment, friendly staff and inflatable seats, this is unreservedly recommended as the best place to start learning how to kite.
Our desire to spend every weekend of summer in Dervio has reached unpresidented levels, while bordering obsession.
We owe the coaching team all our skills, for which we will be eternally grateful.
Coordinates of the club: 46.069,9.3054

Daniel the God
This is the man who probably invented kite surfing. His body, througout the years, has evolved to the ultimate kiting machine. This in turn makes him licenced to kite. He definitely falls in the category of one of the most prominent kite surfers around the world. While others struggle to keep upwind, he can put the smallest sail and a flimsy board and keep up-wind defying all laws of nature. He kites only with strapless boards because using straps makes it far too easy for him.
Daniel spends his summer months in lake Como with Simona and Jordan. In the winter months one would find him fighting with the waves of the Atlantic ocean in Capo Verde where he practices strappless kite surfing, couching kite surfing to the Dutch, raising a kid, taking care of Simona and learning Portugese.
Some say he can crush a man's scull with his little finger.
Rumour has it that he once performed a jump on his kite in lake Como and landed in Silvaplana lake to avoid the border control.
You can see him in action through the following link: www.youtube.com/buccanners

Simona
The partner of Daniel, she is also a keen kitesurfer. She might not be a Goddess in the sport, yet, but she has all the time in the world and the potential to become an outstading kite surfer.
This is the person to contact in case of a kiting panic-attack. She will do anything possible to come and rescue you.

Jordan
Jordan enjoys wakeboarding while being pulled by his dad's boat. His das is counting the days when he will turn 12 so that he can legally teach him how to kite and become the world's 2nd best kiter, after his dad. He will eventually take over the family business and teach us all the new tricks in the upcoming future.

Fabio
Fabio has two loves in his life, in descending sequence these are: his dog Peppe (whom he refers to as Peppito) and the sport of kite surfing. Peppito is his family. We had the pleasure to meet him in Colico in 2012, but now resides in Dervio, after the gasolina turn right. This spot is the ultimate chilling out place so we are happy to spend the weekends with him and his family.
Fabio loves Greenglish which he discovered while kite surfing in Naxos. He immediately fell in love with all Greek women.
Favourite expressions: Releza, Winda, Gazolaina, Peppito è qua.
As of summer 2014 he is the proud owner of his own club with Pepe for mascot:

Peppe
Peppe is the happiest dog in the world. He had the luck to be adopted by the most loving father, whom he refers to as "Peppito amore mio" and "io sono tu papa". He always has a smile on his face and by contagion makes everyone around smile.
His lucky charm is a bone medallion around his neck (pictured)
Peppe is also the club's mascot. His vibe can be felt anywhere within the premises of the club.
Fabio will deprive him of food and water if he does merda or vomito in the camper van. Discipline takes precedence in this community.

Luca
Also know as DJ Z (pronounced D-J Zedddda) is the DJ of the Club. Excellent DJ-ing skills and very fashionable glasses is what makes this man a true Italian. He is a very determined kite surfer as he kited so hard he injured both his legs in July 2013, for him it's all no pain no gain.
As depicted in the picture, the only thing you would find in this man's hands is either a kite or a pump.

the Pump Girl
If your hands ever feel tired, you are not in the mood, or just can't be bothered to pump up your kite please do not hesitate to contact the Pump Girl. She will be more than happy to assist you and make sure everything is ready for you in order to have a great day on the water. She has pumped more kites than you have so let her do all the hard work.
