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.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, no time to waste!Tell us about your best kiting / SUPing / Surfing memory
Surfing and SUPing 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
