Been Kiteboarding for 11 years. With a passion for tinkering around and trying new stuff. Pretty active on Kiteforum and the Yahoo board builders group when that was still going. I have my own website (xtremesports.co.za) which I have had for 11 years and was started to help inland Kiteboarders here in South Africa get together and learn the sport in a responsible and safe manner.
My last project was a Speed board which I built from he ground up and has already hit 40 knts in a trial run with not so favorable conditions. I'v been a skurfer/wakeboarder for over 20 years and ever since I rode a Airchair many years ago I've always wanted to build my own Foilboard for Kiting using the equipment I made to build my Speedboard but could never find a forum that focused in this area until now.
That's about it. Keen to learn and help others where I can.
