Joonas Tuominen

First off, we’ve got Joonas Tuominen, our main coach and a true legend in the kitesurfing scene in Finland since way back in 2005. This dude has been tearing it up on both snow and water for years.

Joonas is all about sharing his stoke and teaching others the art of kitesurfing. He’s got a deep understanding of the local winds and beaches in Hanko, so you know he’s got the inside scoop.

When he’s not ruling the waves, Joonas is also a security pro with some serious water rescue skills also.

Whether you need help with kite handling, jumps, tricks, foil or strapless riding, Joonas is your go-to guy. Just head over to our courses and he’ll hook you up with some epic advice and guidance.

Juha Räty

Now let’s talk about our rad coach, Juha Räty, aka Jusa. This dude may have joined the kitesurfing scene just recently in 2020, but don’t let that fool you. He’s been coaching in different disciplines for over 30 years and has a ton of experience under his belt.

Jusa is a master at breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-understand steps. He knows exactly how to guide beginners on their kitesurfing journey because he’s been there himself not too long ago.

During the winter months, you’ll find Jusa shredding it on a board and skis, spreading the stoke in both Finnish and English.

So if you’re looking for a coach who understands your needs and can teach with passion, Jusa is your guy!

Jani Havunen

Last but certainly not least, we’ve got Jani Havunen, our newest addition to the #HookdOnWind team.

Jani got hooked on kitesurfing also in 2020 and hasn’t looked back since. Living it up in the States, Jani used to charge the gnarly waves on a surfboard, but when he returned to Finland, he found that the local waves just couldn’t match his intense surfing appetite. So, what did this wave warrior do? He made a radical switch to kitesurfing.

With a background in skatesurfing, windsurfing, and snowboarding, Jani brings a solid foundation of board skills to the table. Here’s the best part, whether you’re stoked to learn in Finnish or English, Jani’s got your back with his epic teaching skills. Get ready to catch the wind and ride the waves with Jani.
