One sentence about the products that you are using
Amazing quality and performance. Also, the most beautiful equipment on the market!

How did you get into kiteboarding?
I got into kiteboarding by my Father who was running a kite and windsurf school in Barbados since I was a baby, so basically growing up around the beach and seeing surfing, windsurfing and kiting in front my eyes every day made me get into it at an early age.

What do you do before getting in the water?
Sometimes I’m so hungry to get on the water that I don’t do anything but rush to get out there ASAP! But most days I do a little bit of stretching before my session and I also think about what new tricks I can try to do when I get out on the water.

Tell us about your best kiting memory
My best kite surf memory would be when I was riding waves on the outer reef at Silver Sands Beach in Barbados. I did a long tac out to sea to get back upwind and came within a few meters of a massive humpback whale and I actually made eye-contact with him. It was definitely scary and amazing at the same time.

Your worst wipeout?
My worst wipeout would probably be when I was kiting in 45 knts in Fuerteventura and did a big kiteloop but lost orientation and crashed head-first causing me to burst my eardrum 2 days before the competition started.

Who you would like to say thank you to?
God, my family and everyone that has shown me love and respect throughout my life.
