Our Story

I started Cometa because I felt a gap in my own life.

Paloma Asensio, Founder

The pandemic opened the door to a life I'd always wanted: the freedom to work from anywhere.

A friend called me and said, “Come to Tarifa.”
We rented a beautiful home by the sea.
We worked. We kited. We trained. We explored.
It was the perfect mix: sport + work + fun + connection + the right people.

And I remember thinking: “Why isn't life always like this?”

When the world opened again, I tried to keep that lifestyle. I flew to windy spots, rented incredible homes, and brought friends together to recreate that same energy. Amazing trips... but they lasted one or two weeks at best.

And every time it became harder: planning, coordinating, convincing. My lifestyle was flexible, but not everyone else's was. People went back to offices, got busier, got married, got settled. Not everyone had the same hunger for adventure, sports, freedom, or growth.

“I didn't want a holiday.
I wanted that life, all the time.”

So I tried doing it alone. I went to remote sport destinations. Stayed in co-livings, Airbnbs, hostels. Met people everywhere... but it was always hit or miss. Too random. Too transient. Never the right mix of ambition, curiosity, sport, adventure, kindness, and energy.

Then, on one of my solo trips, I met Fred, a kiter, an entrepreneur, living exactly how I wanted to live. Same hunger for adventure. Same ambition. Same problem.

That's when it hit me: There are thousands of us living this lifestyle...we're just scattered.

When I told him about Cometa, he said: “Let's do it.”

That's the energy I wanted — people who push you, believe in your ideas, and make you expand.

Because the truth is: so many of us have built our dream lifestyle. We have freedom, health, flexibility, ambition, and a deep love for sports and adventure...

But the people around us can't always live it with us.

Cometa exists because nobody should have to choose between the life they want and the people they want to share it with.
