GATH Welcomes Young Kitesurfing Talent Basile Serre to the International Team

Gath Sports Partners with the Next Generation of Extreme Athletes

At Gath Sports, we’re passionate about innovation and committed to empowering the new generation of athletes who are pushing the limits of extreme sports. Continuing our legacy of performance and protection, we’re proud to welcome Basile Serre, one of Europe’s most promising young kitesurfers, to the Gath International Team.

 

Meet Basile Serre: Big Air World Champion

Basile began kitesurfing at just 10 years old, learning the ropes alongside his father. Growing up in Lancieux, Brittany, he had access to one of France’s best kiteboarding spots—a playground offering both flat water and waves, with winds from every direction.
When he’s not training at home, Basile hones his skills in Barcarès, the famous “Lord of Tram” competition spot in southern France, where some of the best kiteboarders in the world train.

 

A Rising Star in the Kiteboarding World

In 2025, Basile’s dedication and talent earned him the title of U14 Big Air World Champion in Germany—an incredible achievement that has motivated him to push his limits even further. Determined to defend his title, he’s now preparing for the 2026 French Big Air Championship, marking the next step in his competitive journey.

Why Basile Chooses GATH Helmets

For Basile, a kite surfing helmet isn’t optional—it’s essential. His GATH helmet gives him the confidence to try his most technical and committed tricks while staying protected. But it’s not just about safety. As Basile says, GATH helmets are lightweight, comfortable, and stylish:

“Dad, I forgot my helmet,” he once said—while still wearing it.

That says everything about the comfort and design that define GATH helmets: when a helmet fits so perfectly you forget it’s even there.

Inspiring the Next Generation

By wearing his GATH helmet, Basile sets an example for young kitesurfers discovering the sport—showing that safety and style can go hand in hand. His confidence, performance, and enthusiasm embody what Gath Sports stands for: pushing limits, staying safe, and looking good doing it.

Welcome to the team, Basile Serre—we’re stoked to have you representing Gath Sports and can’t wait to see where your talent takes you next.
