In Memory of Graham Howes - 1987-2025

The kite community has lost one of its brightest lights. Graham was more than a rider; he was a force of nature whose energy, laughter, and fearless spirit brought people together from every corner of the world. His legacy runs deep through Dirty Habits, the crew he built, and the countless lives he inspired. Here, we share a few words from those who knew and loved him, remembering the man who made every session, every party, and every moment unforgettable.
