  • WKC Rank: Captain
  • Home Town: Cocoa Florida
  • Nationality: Navy Chief
  • Learned to Kite: I started kitesurfing in the winter of 2000 with Jeff Pottinger and we both loved it enough to invest our hard earned money into kites and boards. The two of us were returning to Portland from an un-pleasant training session at the beach that we or more to the point I busted Jeff's Kite, when we passed by some guy out kiting at North Beach. Well, fascinated that we were not the only two guys in the area into this sport and the fact that whoever was out there actually knew how to ride we quickly stomped on the brakes and headed in his direction. When we got there we were amazed at how totally awesome this guy was. He was not only not crashing, but he was getting air and riding away from the landings. We decided to wait for him to finish riding and introduce ourselves. When the master of the wind finished riding we were very eager to help him land his kite and show how knowledgeable we were about this sport. We expertly landed his kite and introduced ourselves to the one and only Jeff Howard. Not only was this guy an amazing rider but he was about as cool as you can be about two kooks coming up to you out of nowhere. We told our tale of misfortune in regards to the Kite I smashed earlier and he said he could fix it, and not only that be it was cheap. Needless to say we were hooked from the first day but after meeting Jeff H. we knew we were in for life.
