Marc Jacobs didn't have a background in watersports but one look at kitesurfing had him transfixed.
Getting aloft took a bit more of an effort for the Mount College 16-year-old, however.
'I started kiteboarding after seeing (current national champion) Dave Edwards out on the water one day,' Jacobs said. 'It took me two years to save up and I finally got my kite on my 13th birthday. I flew it on the beach for year before I even got my board.'
Since then, he hasn't looked back and this weekend he'll be defending his national junior kitesurfing title at his favourite spot, Raglan."
