Full Name: John DeSalvo

Gender: Male

About Me:

I am totally stoked to have found a sport that I am passionate about.

Birthday: Fri, 01/13/1978

Do you like to ride snow or land?:

Love snow kiting and land near water is the best so might as well get wet. This year I switched to skiis and found the snow to be much fun that previous snowboard years in regard to making use of non-perfect conditions and wind.

Facebook: Facebook

Favorite Session & Trips:

2009 MASSkiting Hatteras, 2009 Padre, 2009 Keywest, Tugg Hill 2010 soon to be Hatteras 2010!!!

Favorite Spots:

Hardings, Chapin, Hatt, Key West :-)

How and where did you Learn?:

I think that if I had more instruction from the beginning I would have saved allot of time. But in the end it was good mentors that have helped influence my riding. Johnny Hujol, T, Netto and many other riders welcomed and encouraged me to go for it! Which is the very reason MASSkiting has come to be, to return that experience of mentoring and sharing the beach.

How much gear have you trashed?:

I have trashed lots of gear and even other peoples too.

Kiteboarding Ability:

I am starting to put it together and am currently looking at handle passes, and going much bigger than past seasons. Really this year its to get more of a wakestyle vocabulary of tricks.

Kiteboarding Skill Level: Advanced -unhooked
