Meet @niam_pro_kite, only 12 years old and already part of North’s Next Gen crew, focusing on big air & freestyle. Introduced to kiting by his dad, he quickly found his passion: “He gave me his gear, I practiced a bit and just loved the feeling of being in the water. When I’m mad or struggling, I go kite and everything disappears. It makes me so happy.” Most days you’ll find him at home in Tarifa, at Rio Jara or Balneario. But his all-time favorite? Raches in Greece: “Super duper flat, super windy, super glassy. A freestyle paradise.” His biggest inspiration is @cohan_vandijk. “I always wanted to train with Cohan and now I am! I really like his style, his thinking.” Niam’s dream? Keep pushing, getting better and reaching the podium. We can’t wait to see you back out there @niam_pro_kite, doing what you love most! 💪🌊 Keep an eye on him, he’s just getting started. 👀 🎥 @floorwindels
