The birth of a lifestyle, and the creation of a Brand
The investor interested in FSP was looking for a unique lifestyle that created a relaxed, laid back environment.
After several months taking lessons with different schools in Aruba, Mexico and Dominican Republic, He analyzed the lack and poor existence of a kiteboarding brand that covered all aspects of the sport; Clothing, gear, equipment etc...
Most kiteboarding schools only covered lessons and down wind tours. He was passionate and addicted to the sport and he envisioned that In order to create this offer/demand all year round, a brand had to be created with the right team of people.
One April day in 2009, After casually visiting Xpu-Ha to kiteboard, he met Jenna who guided him to the kiting spot of the beach and introduced him to David. An immediate and natural connection was created between them. He also met Jacob and Dylan who were part of the team. He was very impressed with the working environment, the passion and the lifestyle they all shared.
After a month visiting the spot and brainstorming on his own, he called David and invited him for dinner to talk about different opportunities that existed and he knew were unexploited.
During dinner he shared with David his ideas and vision, to create a unique brand, which covered all aspects of the sport. |
