Jeremy
Burlando
ONLY YOUNG BUT WITH THE TALENT OF
A CHAMPION
Italian, 12 years old, Junior World Champion,
Core international athlete, he
speaks five languages ​and he is so lucky
to train basically everyday which he
loves... Want to know more?
Jeremy Burlando was born in Venice on
18th July 2005. I met him in a rare windless
afternoon at El Medano (Tenerife,
Canary Islands). Jeremy has been living
here for a year, after few ones in Egypt.
For several days, I saw him in the water
and he certainly does not pass unnoticed
for his very high level and his athletic
looks... You could see him anywhere in
the world, at the restaurant or at cinema
and immediately understand that he is a
rider, a true rider.
At his age he has already travelled the
world, trains on every windy day and
never misses a shot at school; in short,
he is a prodigy in the water and in life.
Also thanks to his dad Michele, mentor
and coach, with whom he began wakeboarding
at the age of 7 and kiting in
Egypt at 9 and a half. Thanks to his dad
who since he was a child carried him on
his shoulders or in between his legs on
a kiteboard to pass him down the passion,
the real one. Thanks to a kid who
grasped it and made it his own setting
his life on genuine sport values and not
on PlayStation or cartoons on TV.
