This week we’re joined by legendary kitesurfer Jesse Richman — a true pioneer of the sport and one of the most fearless riders on the planet.

Jesse takes us back to the wild early days of kitesurfing, when two-line kites made every session a gamble. We dive into his rise through the freestyle and big air ranks, including winning the Red Bull King of the Air, and how today’s next generation is pushing the sport to mind-blowing new heights.

He also shares stories from his sessions at Jaws and Nazare, where he’s taken kiteboarding into some of the heaviest surf on Earth. We get into the insane stunts too, like the time he was towed nearly 800 feet into the sky with nothing but a kite and a parachute keeping him alive.
