Kevin Langeree has been one of the top kiters for over a decade. When it comes to kiting he can pretty much do it all: powered doubles, massive board-offs, rip in surf and on an SUP. After winning a world title in 2009 Kevin had a serious knee injury but made a full recovery and finished 4th in 2012. He keeps pushing the sport, started the one handed handle passes and who knows what he will bring to kiting over the next decade. He is a great ambassador for the sport and PKRA world champion.

1. Where did you train over the winter and why?
Cape Town! I’ve been coming here to train the last 8 years and I just love this place. The conditions are good, the food is nice and the people are super friendly. And not to forget we get some pretty good waves coming in!
2. What was your focus in training, specific moves, style, recovering from injury?
I always try to improve my riding. When I go out for a training session I just try to have the most fun cause that when I learn a lot. I like to do more disciplines in the sport then only freestyle. For me it’s really important to find a balance between freestyle, wave and big air. If I do a bit of everything I stay really motivated on all 3 of them.
3. Did you do any cross training, conditioning, surf, snowboard, etc…how does it help your kiting.
When I’m down here in SA the conditions are always so good for kiting, SUPing or surfing that I don’t really get a chance to go to the gym much. Well if you think about it the ocean is one big gym, right?! I hace also started yoga lately and that has been working nicely, feeling nice and flexible now!
4. What PKRA destinations are you looking forward to in 2013 and why?
Germany is always a good event cause it attracts lots of people. But riding wise New Cal must be the best spot we have on tour. The water is nice and flat so perfect for freestyle.
