My epochal journey on the world-renowned Naish Team has come to an end. It’s been nothing short of an honor to work and ride with such a great family. Naish and all that make the company what it is, has supported me on my wild adventures, and I want to extend a massive Thank You to Team Naish. As for where that takes us, well, all I can say is, spine-tingling things are stirring on the horizon. ---- Edit - Alden Simmer Filmers - Petole Prod // Dirty Habits // Thierry Donard // Nuit de la Glisse Films // Pablo Garcia // Tim Bonython // Bryan Metcalf-Perez // Red Bull // Forrest Jaqua // JuneShine // #QuincyDein // Robby Naish ---- Naish Kiteboarding Thirst Project Ralph Lauren Fragrances Robby Naish Naish USA Kevin Langeree Ewan Jaspan Jalou Langeree Des Walsh Damien Girardin Nils Axel Rosenblad Ethan Koopmans Mike Duhaime Nick Stuart Andy Church Carol Naish Randy Naish Naish Australia Naish Baires Naish France Naish Foiling ---- #kitesurfing #kiteboarding #kiting #Maui #hawaii #surfing #surf #skate #skateboarding #snowboarding #wakeboarding #skiing #extreme #sports #athlete #freediving #la #ny #losangeles #R3D #photography #ShotOnRED #actionsports #barrel #bigwave #art #film #thepursuitofprogression

Sharing life with amazing people and communities is what catapults our happiness to the next level. There is no substitute for genuine connection. It is the authenticity of our experience that makes it unforgettable. When we look past our differences and put our minds and hearts together; our mission, our day, our moment, all of a sudden evolves and becomes better. We find a flow when the synergy is right and the vibe is contagious. This is a feeling that we get when we know everyone on the team feels the same thing. When we find ourselves in a group flow, anything is possible and fun is effortless. Most of us have experienced a crazy sensation like this, whether it be on small or large scale, within a family, with friends, on epic adventures and even in a professional setting. The people we are with and the vibe that we generate as a group, make all the difference. This rollercoaster of life is wild and has such unexpected turns that it can be hard to make sense of the rhythm. Some lose faith, others put up walls, I know we all do, but is it necessary? It may seem easier to protect oneself from the majority of the world, only revealing our authentic selves to a select few, amongst whom we feel safe. Yet, I have found, in my own life, that taking a risk by being openly genuine to everyone I encounter yields such a greater and more interesting outcome. This approach, allows another world to unfold at your fingertips. The human experience is something we all share and so it is the connections we make through honest interaction that bring us the greatest high of all. I have been incredibly blessed, to have had adventures that dreams are made of, but none would be the same without the people I was surrounded by at every turn. The rare circumstance that has enabled us to know this planet, to live in its nature and behold its awe-inspiring beauty is something we can all relate to and thanks to this, we can all relate to one another. Thank you for being a part of my adventure and for having me on yours. There is nothing we can't do with the right people and the right mindset.

We Are Limitless. http://bit.ly/Join-TheMovement -- Nazare could be the biggest and gnarliest wave in the world; the question may arise as to why go out there and risk everything in an attempt to ride it? In any aspect of life, the “why” is incredibly powerful, and our answer can shapes who we become. I believe that pushing past limits is one of life’s most astounding feats and one of the most addicting feelings. It doesn’t matter where we are or what we are doing; it comes back to how much we are willing to put into the moment at hand, how committed to what we are doing, how determined we are to accomplish our goals. If we want something in life, all we have to do is start going after it. I went out to Nazare to learn about that wave, have a mind-blowing experience and see how I can push the limits of kiteboarding beyond what is currently thought to be the limit. I learned many lessons and felt the ocean’s power like never before. Going out with expectations wasn’t my plan, but it happened, I didn’t do what I aimed to do, but I worked with the waves to make sure I came in alive. I will share what I learned in the full story to come Jan 31st. Thanks for being a part of my journey and having me on yours. http://bit.ly/Join-TheMovement -- Jesse Richman www.JesseRichman.com Stay Stoked!

We all have defining moments in life when we surpass our thoughts to be defined by our limits. Sometimes these moments come often, for some there will be very few in a lifetime. Each time we have a breakthrough moment we literally level up in so many ways. In this wild world we live in, it's hard to say what the point is. The best description I've resonated with is that we have this chance to build our ultimate character, we have this opportunity to push the world and those around us in a better way than we found them, we have the potential to amplify the feelings and thoughts that we believe in. I believe we have this chance to make the absolute most of this life and this world, together we can create the future we all dream about. It all starts with us pushing outside of our comfort zone, harnessing our fear and using it to explore the unknown. We need leaders, we need supporters, we need lovers and we need believers. Find what you are looking for, share what you love, support others that you believe in and together we can accomplish the impossible.

Bio
Jesse Richman was born on July 22, 1992, in Maui, Hawaii, to Joel and Elaine Richman. Growing up with his older brother by 3 years Shawn and his younger sister by 4 years Eva. Jesse was always physically active, pushing the limits from an early age, He was especially drawn to the ocean. Starting out in the water surfing and then to windsurfing Jesse couldn't get enough. While he would wait for his dad to take him to the beach Shawn and he would build ramps and jumps out of various items in the back yard and jump them with bicycles and skate boards. Shortly before Jesse turned 10 he got an offer from an old time family friend, Joe Koehl (pronounced Joe Cool) an iconic windsurf and kitesurf pioneer, to come fly a new kite of his. After Jesse had nearly flown away and felt out the kite Joe Told Joel and Elaine that he was a natural born Kitesurfer and would one day be world champion.

From there on out it was all about kitesurfing. Jesse spent all day every day thinking about kiting. After school he jammed down to the beach with Shawn and Joel and they all became hooked on kiting. Soon it became apparent that Shawn and Jesse might have a future in the sport as pro's. The three of them started out small with local contests and then hit up the big time after the boys started winning. Going to events from San Francisco to Texas to Venezuela. In 2007 Jesse made history with his record breaking jump in San Francisco, flying through the air for an incredible 22 seconds, blowing away the old hang time record of 13 seconds. Jesse started to get bigger and better and his busy schedule reflected his growing success in the kitesurfing world. Just before starting high school he switched to an online based school so he could travel as much as he needed and still achieve a high school education.

In 2008 Jesse decided to try out his first ever European event in France. This was the first stop on the Kite Board Pro World Tour (KPWT). He was not sure what to expect and wanted to do the whole tour but was leaving this decision up to how he did in France. Sure enough… He won the event. With his eyes focused on a world title Jesse set out that year and competed on the World Tour, having stops in places like: Greece, Turkey, Italy, Brazil, Morocco and more.
At the end of the year Jesse was crowned kitesurfing's Overall World Champion.

Jesse then went on to win the title once more in 2009. As well as winning the newly formed International Kiteboarding Association's (IKA) Overall World Title that was sanctioned by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF).

Today Jesse is one of the busiest and most sought after riders in the sport.
