About me
Born and raised out of Cape Town, `South Africa. I am an ex- professional big kiteboarder, Kite caddy to Jesse Richman and Marc Jacobs during the Red Bull King of The Air(both won King of The Air), Beach side commentator for Red Bull King of The Air and official live stream commentator for Big Air Kite league Cape Town stop. Coming from the Kite capital of the world it was inevitable that my life direction would be heavily influenced by kitesurfing, from training for events to teaching people how to fly a kite for the first time the love and passion I have for the sport is truly special, But watersports have always ignited a passion in me, from wakeboarding to tow in foiling in the waves or just wake foiling. The love for water and to share the passion with others is incredible. But from a very young age I started riding motorbikes which eventually became my life, I was a competitive Superbike racer in South Africa with many championships to my name and racing for some big brands. So you could say I am somewhat of an adrenaline junkie but I would rather prefer using the term “Challenger Seeker”. During all of this I started to explore my creative side and developed a keen interest in content creation and video editing. My life story is one filled with adventure and learning, so I will continue to seek a challenge and push myself to the next level because life is best lived outside my comfort zone.
