 "Captain Tof was quite settled in the kitesurfing cruises scene when I showed up in the Caribbean.
I was very aware of his presence -his excellent reputation had preceeded our meeting.
Far from feeling threatened by me, Tof was super friendly, supportive - and he tolerant: he forgave a couple of beginner's mistakes along the way.
We've now been in touch for some years and always sort of randomly bump into each other from time to time.
We never plan on seeing each, we just do, and it's cool that way: this "going with the flow" attitude is one of our common traits
Captain Tof was the first one to start taking people kitesurfing from a boat in the Caribbean.
 He has the very respectable background of 10 years of running kitesurfing charters in our beloved turquoise waters.
Highly experienced sailor, excellent kitesurfer and qualified instructor, Tof was already cruising and kitesurfing here way before most of us even heard about the sport. He went to find the spots and picked the right boats ahead of all of us.
He's was the first kitesurfing pirate of the Caribbean and that surely gives him a special place on board this network.
Tof has another characteristic which fully distinguishes him from the rest of kitesurfari Sxm's crew: we're all very high energy individuals, always boiling.
Tof, on his hand, is born with a natural chilled out-ness which barely ever leaves him.
 Tof is very mellow.
Do not get fooled by his chilled-outness though, he will suddenly wake up when the time requires it -but other than that, Tof likes it better at a Caribbean pace.
This surely is one individual who doesn't really know what "stress" means, and it makes him a very enjoyable host.
A problem? What's that, a "problem"?
No such thing in his book....
Due to his temper, Captain Tof is one of the most socially discreet yet most requested Captains in the Caribbean. " |
