Who's Behind This

The Kite Mechanic

I didn't choose kitesurfing — kitesurfing chose me. 20 years in, I've ridden everywhere from Greece to the Maldives and fixed more gear than I can count. People started handing me their broken kites, and I built KitesurfBase because bad information was making good riders quit.
