WIND RIDER TEAM
Paul Ouellet: Owner & Lead Kite Instructor
Kiteboarding since 2007 and instructing since 2017, I turned my obsession into Wind Rider — my passion project on the West Coast. They say kiteboarding ruined my life… totally worth it.
Nothing beats watching people unlock that proud “I got this” feeling and discover another side of themselves out on the water.
Louisa Cotton: Partner & Lead Wing Instructor
A lifelong coach, Occupational Therapist, and outdoor enthusiast, I love helping people discover what they are capable of. Whether it's a first water start, first foil flight, or simply finding the confidence to try something new, I'm passionate about creating supportive learning experiences that help people thrive.
For me, windsports aren't just about wind and water, its about freedom, confidence, resilience, and the joy that comes from challenging oneself in the safety of a supportive community
