“I know it can seem crazy when you list what I’ve jumped with a kite, but I take great honor in being in control and assessing the origin of the occasional fear, so when I do it, it never feels crazy…”


Entering his third Big Air season with North Kiteboarding, Nick Jacobsen explains to Victoria Stuart how he's managed risk and fear for over six years, and on adapting to life beyond extreme kiteboarding.

Giel Vlugt is the talk of the fast-growing Big Air scene right now, as he turns up the heat at every BAKL stop on his way to the biggest prize of all: the Red Bull King of the Air.

“The wind was irregular and meant I landed a bit heavily at times, but I scored some good tricks, while in the back of my mind I was aware of the possibility of stingrays. I missed a board-off, and just as I started a body drag to recover my board, I felt a stab under my foot and a sharp pain – the feared stingray had got me…”
