Capucine’s father taught her to kite at 7 years old and she picked it up exceptionally quickly. Inspired by her brother Camille Delannoy, while supporting him at a kitesurfing competition in Cape Verde, Capucine knew she wanted to be world champion and began her journey to get there.
“I just love the freedom you have kitesurfing. The feeling when you land a new trick, it’s just amazing.”
