MY STORY
1994 a child was born in one of the driest places on earth: Sal, Cap Verde; in 2011 he won the Kitesurf Wave World Championship. In its early life there was just one thing for this child, called Airton Cozzolino Lopes: the sea. Every day the small boy with the green eyes ran down to the beach to go surfing with the equipment some surfers left behind. Probably none of them would have imagined helping a young child becoming an exceptional surfer with this friendly gift . As a result of changing schools Airton was separated from the sea. But in this salt-water-free-time he met Libero Cozzolino who changed his whole life. Libero took the boy to his heart, helped him in school and enabled Airton to start his water sports career. He even adopted the child with the green eyes. So, you can see Liberos influences not only in Airtons Dreadlocks and, but also in his son’s friendly behavior. All this makes Mama Fernanda (Airtons Mum) very proud of her son and thankful for his mentor Libero. Meanwhile, the green eyed boy has grown up und became an ideal for a lot of young surfers, especially for the kids of Sal. Airton and his best friend Matchu Lopes Almeira attract attention not only because of their similar hairstyle, but also because they share the same love to nature and refuse any kind of drugs, which the kids of Sal are surrounded by. Since a few years, Airton also calls Sardinian his home. His favorite spots are Chia and Capo Mannu (Sardinian), but he never lost his cap verdean roots. Therefore, the odds are good to run across Airton at Ponta Preta (Sal). He once said that he, as a beach boy, couldn’t survive longer than three days in a city. So we’ll definitely hear a lot of the good-humored dread head before he will satisfy his mentor’s wish: “…to manage our kite school […] or anything else he would love to do!” Stay fierce, man
