Top 3 Kiteboarding Accounts to Follow on Social

Jesse Richmann | Pro Kiteboarder

Jesse Richman, now sponsored by North Kites, is an absolute powerhouse athlete! With 2x Red Bull KOTA winner and countless championships, his content brings stoke and pure joy while hearing his hooting and hollering in the background of his videos. 

Boosting some of the most technical airs and tricks in the game, his focus as of late has turned back towards his home, family, and riding big waves for the winter in Hawaii. Charging a kite into some of the biggest barrels always brings excitement to the work week, and keeps us dreaming of those perfect wave days.

Sickos | YouTube Channel

Sickos is a collective of like-minded best friends. The Sickos started out in Hood River with a summer packed with shenanigans, some insane pranks and non-stop laughter. Backed by Reedin Kites, the boys always manage to find some bizarre and exciting way to bring goofiness, style and class to the water. 

Ready to chase the dream even harder, the crew sent it to Hawaii for the Fall in search of warmth and waves. Currently. the collective of comrades are living out of vans and chasing wind down in Baja playing with fireworks. Their weekly video drops on youtube keep us stoking at the shop all week.

Pippa Van Iersel | Pro Kiteboarder

Pippa Van Iersel is one of Duotone’s top female riders. Currently down with a double knee injury in Cape Town, she still keeps her social media updated with escapades of other riders kiting, biking and hiking adventures. Right before the injury, Pippa was pushing the envelope with some huge megaloops. 

The Netherlands-based rider always brings the stoke everywhere she goes. A videographer at heart, Pippa’s content is always a fresh take on the world of a pro kiteboarder.
