Ruben Lenten is one of the most influential kiteboarders on the planet, his long career has seen him shape the sport in a way few others can match. From his aggressive powered freestyle riding to his insane mega loops and all the variations he has created. In this podcast Rou Chater talks to Ruben about his journey within the sport, his battle with cancer and how he has overcome some serious setbacks along the way.

This was recorded in February in South Africa, just a month or so before Ruben had another fateful setback, breaking his ankle in Barcelona when a mega loop went wrong.

Ruben has an incredibly positive outlook on life and when I saw him last week he was taking his recovery seriously and looking forward at where he was going next rather than dwelling on the serious injury that wrecked his plans for the year. 

If you want to get inspired about having a positive mindset, Ruben is the man to listen to!
