had no idea you're cousins, but the similarities are so obvious when you're together. One thing that would make this kind of content even more interesting is to talk about the rivalries that Kevin had with Aaaron and the history of that and all the little insights. You mentioned you both went in different directions, but it would be great to know what was at the core of the disagreement and how that's changed. You guys are definitely stars that a lot of people look up to without you even knowing and would be awesome to talk a bit more about the difficult aspects of the sport, relationships and how that's shaped the direction of the sport, and of coarse its a good story in the end because you're all having fun together, but would be great to actually know some of what happened and what you learned from it.

100% - some documentary material right there. I can't wait to dive deeper to reflect all together to learn and share more. Work in progress. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. - Ruben

It used to be the same with hanggliding and paragliding at the begining of 90is.Being pionir of anything is tough but revording❤

Soooo good to see two absolute legends of the sport give us great insight into where the sport is currently , where it has come from and where it might lead to , Super stoked to see more of this content from Ruben via KiteMana , its amazing to have him let loose of brand commitments and be able to give his opinion on gear without being tied to a brand . Kitemana is on a winner here , super cool work guys .... by the way , all the local crew want to try out that Space Agency Now !!

Fantastic interview Ruben, good to see what’s going on in Kev’s world. He’s an inspiration 🤙

[@wernerxldata]

Kevin is a great person, when he started Reedin with Damien my first reaction was I want that stuff. Three years later I was able to buy new gear, all Reedin. And it is amazing, even a moderate kiter like me feels right at home. Love Reedin and people like Kevin and Damien, so full of ambition, creative and a super nice energy.
Great interview Ruben, you’re an inspiring guy as well ❤

You two guys are what got me into kite surfing. Thanks for your great words and don’t feel old at 36 I just turned 50. All I keep saying is just send it

[@Kitemana]

Hah, that's the best compliment... thank you and I'm glad you're sending it. We just feel old as it seems like 10 lifetimes ago since we were on tour. :-P No doubt we'll keep sending it!

[@b5watersports]

Good talk boys... Hope to see you on the water someday

[@Kitemana]

Thank you. On the water, in the air, at the beach or at the party. :-P See you soon I'm sure
