For the second year in a row, Naish’s Jesse Richman has been voted AWSI’s “Kiteboarder of the Year”. This title is well earned, as Jesse has been on fire this year, taking every aspect of kiteboarding to the extreme.

“I’m stoked to be named AWSI Kiteboarder of the Year! Thanks to everyone that made this possible. We are taking this shiz to the next level!” – Jesse Richman

From kiting Jaws, ripping strapless in the waves, pulling world record stunts, to throwing the most engaged wakestyle moves, Jesse truly makes the most out of every moment…and there’s no end in sight. Considered the “waterman” of kiteboarding, Jesse now adds this title to his already stellar collection of titles such as 2x World Champion and 2013 RedBull King of the Air.

Naish is beyond stoked to have this remarkable character on our team, both on and off the water. We look forward to seeing what he has in store next…he definitely keeps everyone on their toes!

HUGE Congratulations Jesse!
