Gary Martin represents the O.G. kiteboarder. With over 20 years of windsurfing industry experience, Gary's mature perspective will help keep the magazine focused on the older generation. Gary authored dozens of technical articles for Kiteboarding Magazine of the last year and his experience will only enhance the quality of Kiteboarder.

"My goal is to represent the older guys like myself who can't relate to handle passes. Yeah we think they are cool, but the idea is to make Kiteboarder into a magazine that encompasses all generations. We have a lot of great technical and instructional content planned. I know the kiteboarding public is going appreciate our direction."
