stay salty

Maxwell

Matt lives at the beach in the windy city of Cape Town, the perfect playground for a waterman.

He hardly spends a day without being on the water: He does kite, sup, surf, surf foil & downwind, with a great level in each discipline. And he still finds time to study industrial design!

Matt Interview

Can you tell us a bit more about your passion for kitesurfing?

My dad took me to Langebaan, South Africa when I was a kid and within a few days I was hooked. Since then, living in the wind magnet of the world, Cape Town, it has just been something that I struggle to go one day without.

You just won the lottery, what would you do first?

I would buy kites for all the underprivileged children living in Cape Town so that they could learn to kite and use our wind to train everyday and become professional kiters.
