ABOUT BRM
Boardriding Maui is much the same today as when it launched thirteen years ago. It’s still way out on the future fringes of riding evolution and remains true to the design and development of ultra-performance gear that challenges conventions.
FROM THE FOUNDER
I fell in love with windsurfing at age 12, when my family moved near a lake. To be on the water, feel a breeze in my sail and the splash under my board; this was my heaven.
At 16 years old, I started my lifetime’s work in the industry at the lake’s local windsurf shop.
The sport of kiteboarding emerged shortly after I moved to Maui in 1998. In 2001, I achieved a 4th place competition season ranking on the Kiteboarding World Tour. The following ten years, during the formative, peak-growth years of kiting, I worked as a designer for Naish International, before founding Boardriding Maui in 2012.
My life today, with the love my wife and our family & friends, having Boardriding Maui to share the gear that I’m passionate about, is my dream-come-true.
