THE TEAM

IAN FLANDERS

HYDE SAILS MANAGING DIRECTOR

Ian has been working with Hyde Sails since 1987 originally windsurfing and sailing until he found kite boarding at the ripe old age of 48! And can now be seen regularly out on the water at weekends with staff from the factory at our secret test spot 10 minutes from the factory.

DANO SEE

DSD FOUNDER DESIGNER

Dano has been Kitesurfing for 20 years and basically in the industry since the beginning. Previous skills - Hanglider manufacturing assist, Windsurf and Sail lofts for Gaastra, NP. Kite Design and manufacturing experience Cabrinha, Slingshot, BWS - Factory production manager, OEM Bar factory.

I like to design all aspects of the sport. Light wind Kites and Boards to High wind foils and speed. My main passion is Waves and riding them. Nothing feels as good as a big turn on an open face and using gear specifically designed for the serious wave addict!

MJ CAHILIG

TEAM RIDER

Our Prodigal Son! MJ is the most rounded Kite Athlete in the Philippines. Not only does he do amazing Freestyle tricks, Race as good as the Olympic guys but MJ is one of the only Filippino’s with a serious wave addiction and a very unique and precise style that make him stand out from even most foreigners at his home spot in Kingfisher! Mj is our up and coming Product manager looking after all aspects of our Kite development through the assembly tables.

Still competing at the highest level MJ will focus his talent into design and helping us perfect our growing kite range.
