Jeremie Tronet
A professional kitesurfer, pioneer of online kitesurfing video, creator of the Jesus Walk, founder of the JT Pro Center and a Caribbean storyteller whose ocean videos travel from Union Island to audiences around the world.
A life story people follow, and a platform brands can build with.
Jeremie’s strongest work lives where athletic skill, Caribbean color, humor and clean camera direction meet. His TikTok and Instagram videos have reached hundreds of millions of views, while the longer story gives general audiences a reason to care beyond the next trick.
Audience impact, shaped for sponsor campaigns and real storytelling.
Visuals from Union Island travel far beyond the beach: followers see the athlete, the island life, the rebuild and the humor; sponsors can attach to a world of ocean sport, lifestyle, production skill and memorable viral moments.
Athlete, creator, entrepreneur and island advocate.
Jeremie grew up between the French Riviera and the Caribbean, always close to water, waves and creative people. He learned to fly big kites in the late 1990s, then built his own inflatable kite in 2000 when buying one was out of reach.
That first handmade kite became the start of a professional path: Caribbean competition wins, magazine covers, the Jesus Walk signature trick, early web videos, a worldwide TV series, sponsor productions, viral short-form concepts and the JT Pro Center kitesurf school and hotel on Union Island.
The story is not only for sponsors. It is also for people who want to understand the work behind the images: years of riding, shooting, editing, building businesses, taking risks, helping the island after Hurricane Beryl and slowly rebuilding the dream.

A pioneer in kitesurf video, from early web edits to viral social clips.
Jeremie was making kitesurfing videos online in the early 2000s, then produced Ride Along for television, built Island Life on YouTube and later helped push kitesurfing into mainstream feeds with Insta360-style point-of-view angles, humor, disguises and high-skill stunts.
The Jesus Walk made the sport instantly visual.
Jeremie invented and popularized the Jesus Walk, also known as Jesus Style, a trick that looks impossible even to people who have never followed kitesurfing. It became a signature image because it says everything quickly: control, balance, creativity and showmanship.

The kitesurf school, hotel base and Caribbean project behind the story.
Jeremie did not only ride and film Union Island. He built a destination there: the JT Pro Center kitesurfing school and hotel base in the Grenadines, a place for beginners, advanced riders, wingfoilers, guests, brand shoots and island life.
Built from the beach up.
The school was created to make the Grenadines accessible to riders and visitors: lessons, coaching, gear support, accommodation help, kite cruises and a direct connection to one of the Caribbean’s most visual kite spots.

After Hurricane Beryl devastated Union Island, Jeremie helped mobilize direct support for the community through the JT Pro Foundation and public relief efforts. The focus was immediate and practical: help families, move supplies, support rebuilding and keep attention on people who could not wait for perfect conditions.
