Rou Chater, who’s been in the game for 25 years, shares his unique take on KOTA’s evolution, from its roots in Maui to the groundbreaking inclusion of a women’s division this year. Get ready for a deep dive into the event’s history, the highs and lows, and what makes it such a massive part of the kiteboarding culture.
