Robby Naish

Robby Naish became a windsurfing world champion at thirteen and went on to collect two dozen world titles across the sport's golden era. When kiteboarding emerged in the late 1990s he was among the first to take it seriously, winning early slalom and jumping world titles and helping legitimise the young discipline. The Hawaii-based waterman founded Naish, one of the sport's enduring equipment brands, and remains a defining figure across windsurfing, kitesurfing, SUP and foiling.
