Keahi de Aboitiz (http://www.keahideaboitiz.com/), is a phenomena both on SUP and in kiting. He started young in Australia, the following is on his website:
"From a young age, I’ve always liked anything to do with the water. I guess I was introduced to surfing when I was about 5 years old and spent a few years just surfing and doing some local comps around my hometown.
I was about 11 when I first started kiting. My dad ran a beach hire where he did kiting lessons and I started playing around with the kites from there. It took a while before I got fully into the sport, but after a year I was hooked. I pretty much stopped surfing and stopped comps completely because surfing was always so crowded and I liked that I could escape the crowds in kiting."
Here is an impressive video of moves shot in Hawaii recently.

"Born and raised in Australia, Keahi's roots and warm water swells brought him to the Hawaiian Islands for a spell.
