I
was raised in Southern California and grew up surfing the point
breaks of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. I moved to the North
Shore 14 years ago for the kick back life style and the big
waves of the North Shore. I have been designing surf boards
since 1984. In the last 11 years I have expanded my designs
to include stand up paddle boards, big wave tow in boards, Hydro foil boards, and kite
boards. My kite board designs include surf, freestyle, speed, course, skim, and other designs which dont have names yet. The first time I saw
kite boarding I knew this was what I was meant to do. I think
each one of us has at least one thing that we were designed
to excel at and kite boarding is my thing. Besides the fun
and excitement of kite boarding, the things I love most about
kite boarding are the good people I have met from all over
the world and the life long friendships I have made from kite
boarding. I have worked with many of the top professionals, I get valuable feed back from
these pros but I feel I learn as much or more from every kite boarder
who is willing to give me feed back. For this reason I feel
I can understand not only the professional rider’s needs
but also the average rider’s needs as well. For the last
9 years I have developed the North Kiteboarding kite board
line along with the North Kiteboarding team.
