“Riding ‘one handed’ at the time was very dangerous! Now look what we are doing…”
YOU WERE ORIGINALLY A COMPETITIVE SKIER. HOW DID YOU GET INTO KITING?
Yes, I was a big skier and trained in the summers on Mt. Hood, a glacier located in Oregon. Just a 40-minute drive away is Hood River, at the time a windsurfing mecca. One day with my parents I saw a kiter, we think maybe Cory Roesler, one of the pioneers on water skis, flying a kite on Hood River. This was when I first saw it and thought it was incredible to be pulled along
