Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life

How did you get into kiteboarding ?

My dad took me to Langebaan, South Africa when I was a kid and within a few days I was hooked.

What do you do before getting in the water ?

As little as possible. There’s no time to waste!

Tell us about your best memory on the water.

Surfing and SUP-ing perfect waves with just my mom, dad and brother out in the Maldives.

Your worst wipeout? 

Bouncing upside-down off the reef on a slab that my brother and I were dumb enough to surf in the Maldives.

Who you would like to say thank you to ?

My parents, Dave and Sue for believing in me, and Bruce Chrystal from F-ONE South Africa for the support.

One sentence about the products that you are using

What I love about the BANDIT is that even when I’m not looking at my kite, it’s always exactly where I want it to be.
