Kris Beech...je weet wel van het gekke Push kiteboarding team; de mannen die megaloopen op het land vlakbij het water ipv andersom ...loopt hem voortaan met Peter Lynn kites! -->
Wij bij Peter Lynn zijn trots om onze nieuwste teamrider Kris Beech welkom te heten. Kris Beech is al enkele jaren een prominente naam binnen de kite landboarding scene. Hij maakt onder andere deel uit van het infameuze Push Kiting team, waarmee hij de sport al menige jaren naar nieuwe hoogtes pushed.
Kris zal gaan knallen met zijn Peter Lynn Fury kites en we zijn benieuwd wat hij daarmee zal gaan laten zien, tot zover ziet het er al veelbeloved uit!
Maar, genoeg van onze kant, we laten graag het woord ann `the man himself’.
“Hey, I am Kris Beech, I’m 26 years old and I am a Pro kite land boarder from Frinton on Sea in Essex, U.K. I have been kiting 6 years now and am still as hooked as the day I had my first go, I focus on competing, making videos and pushing the limits of whats possible on a kite land board. My other sponsors are Trampa Boards and I work closely with the Push Kiting team. When I was younger I grew up skateboarding and BMXing, but then I found out how amazing kiting is. When I’m not kiting, I run the family business, which involves building and repairing fibreglass boats at the local marina. On windless days (it happens) I like to longboard, do a bit of skateboarding, go for a cycle or head out to the nearest wake boarding park for a session with some mates.
Im excited to have joined the Peter Lynn team. You will find me at all KLB events this year as well as making new videos.
Leaving Flexifoil was a hard decision to make after riding for them for 3 years. They supported me well, but after much thought I felt it was time to move on to something new and fresh. Change is good and as a kiter you will know the importance of the ability to reinvent your self, this is important to help you stay at the top of your game. The offer of Peter Lynn kites was amazing for me as it opens up a whole new world of opportunity, these are the guys that pushed land kiting from day one with kite bugging. So to know that they are this committed to kite sports, makes me feel privileged to be part of the team.”
