Aaron Hadlow: Two and a Half Decades at the Top

Few names in kiteboarding command the same respect as Aaron Hadlow. A five-time World Champion, two-time King of the Air winner, and one of the sport’s defining figures, Aaron has been part of kiteboarding’s story since the very beginning. Over the years, Rou Chater and he have crossed paths at beaches, competitions, and photoshoots all over the world, and his passion for the sport has never faded. In this feature, we rewind to where it all began: from those early Cornish days to the world stage, tracing the evolution of a rider who helped shape modern kiteboarding.

The Isle of Thanet

I believe the Isle of Thanet to be quite a unique destination when it comes to kiting on the mainland of the UK.
