As any other sport, kiteboarding has its celebrities and idols. Every kiteboarder has their own view on who is the best or who has influenced the sport the most. In the past few years kiteboarders that have influenced the sport a lot are Aaron Hadlow and Ruben Lenten. They have brought their powerful style to the sport. There are also many other kiters who add to the sport and there are many more still to come. It is always nice to see how some people have possibilities and energy to renew the sport by pushing the limits. Whether it is inventing new tricks, adding technicality to the tricks or just raise the bar higher in freestyle or waves.
The one person that has had the biggest influence on me is Robby Naish. It goes back in time when I was still windsurfing and I wathced videos of US-1111 ripping waves in Hawaii or competing across the globe. I really liked Robby's style and his attitude to the sport and people. He was referred to as a legend already back then. When I started kiteboarding, Robby was becoming one of the big names of kiteboarding with Lou Wainman, Flash Austin, Pete Cabrinha and Mark Shinn. Robby was again the one who made me practise more. Reflecting this, it was very nice to see the latest Naish marketing video about Robby. Enjoy.
