Kiteboarding might be a young sport, but its history is packed with unforgettable moments. This year’s Red Bull King of the Air wasn’t just about going extreme —it was also a chance to reflect on where the sport started and how far it’s come. Rou Chater, who’s been in the game for 25 years, shares his unique take on KOTA’s evolution, from its roots in Maui to the groundbreaking inclusion of a women’s division this year. Get ready for a deep dive into the event’s history, the highs and lows, and what makes it such a massive part of the kiteboarding culture.
