016_Elliot Leboe: He’s seen it all and chose the Parawing! Why?

Elliot has played a significant role in my development in boardsports. When I first began watching early kiteboarding films, I never imagined I would find myself participating in a podcast with the man behind the camera. Elliot has witnessed and experienced so much throughout his professional boardsport career, both in front of and behind the lens. Hearing his excitement about Parawinging serves as a true validation for me that I’m on the right path.

In this podcast, we cover a wide range of topics, including the beginnings of kiteboarding and how he and his roommate, Lou Wainman, helped propel the sport forward. We also delve into the inception of foiling and discuss his early experiences on the airchair with notable figures like Pete Cabrinha, Robby Naish, and Dave Kalama. Additionally, we explore Parawinging in great detail, including board shapes, riding styles, a LOT of chatter, and what the future holds for this exciting discipline.

This episode is truly packed with great stories and insights. I hope you enjoy it! Elliot is an absolute legend!
