Hello Dave, I really like your work with KITECINEMA
- thanks, the appreciation is what drives me to keep on doing what i do.
How did you start filming kiteboarders ?
-That's a whole different story all together:
I was the only and the first one that had gotten some kitegear on my home spot, thanks to my friends at SoulMedia back in 1999.
It continued a family-tradition so far, cause history tells that my grandpa was the first with a (home-made) catamaran (i real ugly beast, made of wood and tons of polyester in the 60's) then there was my father who was the first with a windsurf set (in the beginnning of the 70's - a big huge Mistral Competition) I was six years old when he got a minisail for it, and so i started windsurfing in 1979 until 1999 When i got my kitegear.
That brings me to why i started filming: From my grandpa' winddriven adventures we only have a painting left of that era, and from the windsurfing years from my dad and me and my brother, we only have some pictures left, so i thought I must do something to memorize this third generation of our family's windriven nature in a far more better way, and that was by filming it all.
