Jake is a thoroughbred D1 athlete turned avid kiteboarder and coach from Hampstead, NH. Jake often tells the story of his first time kiteboarding with his dad when he was just twelve years old down on the Outer Banks. Cautiously launching the kiteboard, he would get pulled downwind on his board and his dad would grab him by the back of his harness and pull him upwind to restart. He kept at it until it "clicked." After playing hockey for, and graduating from, Northeastern University he moved to the Outer Banks in North Carolina to pursue his passion.
