Name:
Aston Wilby

Location:
Long Stratton - Norfolk, UK

How did you get started in power kiting:
I first started when I bought a proteam 8 about 2 and half years ago, we took it to a field and i was hooked straight away!

What equipment do you use:
High performance four line foils - I mainly use Flexifoil Blade III's on handles.

Which landboard do you use:
Mbs Core 1 - it is one of the lightest board on the market and is small enough for most tricks in the book.

What have you been doing the past year:
Loads of practice - but mostly competing and attending events.

What plans do you have for this year:
To carry on going to events and competitions, and mainly get out as much as I did this year to get more practice in.

Favourite Landboarding Spot:
It has to be Black Rock Sands, North Wales as its the smoothest beach I have ridden.

What would you recommend as a first time kite landboarder who wanted to enter into the sport, what kite would you recommend and why:
For anyone wanting to start kite landboarding, you must remember to be able to handle the kite 100% before going onto a board, A good starter kite would be a 3-4 metre low-mid performance kite.

What kind of tricks do you like to do?
At the moment I am concentrating on board varials, and rotations with technical tricks and now starting kiteloops.

What surface do you prefer for landboarding?
I prefer grass to sand but if you could combine the wind from the beach and grass together it would be perfect!

How do you think the sport will grow?
Huge! It's such a good spectators sport and everyone can get close in on the action.

What's is your best session to date?
There are all good! But I have a better time when the wind is clean!

Have you received any injuries from power kiting?
Small knee injury which is about it, nothing serious though.

Anything else you want to say?
Just have fun!
