My Ride-
The best thing about kiteboarding is the diversity Unlike most sports that tend to conform to one way of riding, one type of equipment, or even one look, we have so many choices. Especially now, as the sport is constructing a new identity on a everyday basis, you can see constant change and choice. Our choices are actively constructing new ways of riding waves, having fun, and offering us an escape from a world that sometimes seems less than perfect. Nothing in the world gives me as much agency as kiteboarding does, in expressing my own identity, my own choices, and my own beliefs. My name is Jon Modica. This is my world. This is my ride.
