Johnny like's to jump the highest and then add a loop on BEST KITES.

Johnny rides BEST all the way and really gives them a workout!

In 1999 I wa JOHNNY RIPPING AT THE GUT s in Maui windsurfing, and I met 2 guys that were kiting on the water. Lou Wainman and Elliott LeBoe were truly pioneers at kitesurfing. Learning the hard way. Basic black and blue. That's all I needed to see! I'm in!

Nor'easters are his favorite. the Colder & Nasty'er the better.

Ask him to Demonstrate his incredible talent with a YOYO.

JP now works as head of instructions at BESTKITESBOARDINGS' Kiting center located in AMITYVILLE ,NY

PHIL BURKE instructor

Phil Has been flying kites since 1997.

I learned the HARD WAY, . It was painful! I learned all the wrong things not to do....... Fortunately without serious injury(only dislocations minor abrasions and contusions)
I started on buggies and first moved to skiis on the frozen lakes. After it would snow, it was incredible! Speeding across the freshly fallen snow with just the sound of the lines whistling in the wind. This was also very cool! Next I added a snowboard. This was certainly fun. Phil was certified as a PASA KITEBOARD INSTRUCTOR iin 2004

Don't do it the hard way! Save yourself time and money. These kites are dangerous when not operated properly.
