Nelson Gómez – Founder and Owner

“I learned to kite before there were schools – just wind, water, and curiosity.”

Nelson is the soul of Paradise. At just 12 years old, he became the first local person to kitesurf in Cabo de la Vela, teaching himself with borrowed gear and pure determination.
In 2018, he founded Paradise Kite School to share his passion with the next generation of local riders.
A year later, he entered his first international competition, representing La Guajira on a global stage.
When the rain comes to Cabo, Nelson packs his board and explores the world – chasing wind, waves, and new stories.
