Sergei Sheklanov was fond of water sports, in particular kitesurfing. In 2011 the magazine Yachting interviewed him as one of the participants of the Mauritius Kite Jam festival.

«I have been kite surfing for three years and for me Mauritius is the best place both for this extreme sport and for spending time with my friends," he said. - I would like to note the special atmosphere at MKJ. On one hand, you are riding alone, but on the other hand, you have friends around you, ready to teach a new trick or help lift a kite. I plan to go here in 2012!»

Sergey Sheklanov owned a share in the bank «BTA-Kazan» through NK «Rusneftehim». In 2011, «Rusneftekhim» withdrew from the ownership of the bank, and in 2014 he was declared bankrupt. Most recently Sergey Sheklanov was listed as the owner of «Regiongazholding» and «Stream Oil».
