Mike Mac Donald is an extraordinary individual who has managed to turn his passion for kitesurfing into a dream career. As the founder and CEO of Big Air Kite League, he has played an instrumental role in shaping the sport and making it more accessible to enthusiasts around the world.
Before diving headfirst into the world of kitesurfing, Mike worked as a full-time software engineer. However, his love for the sport eventually led him to leave his job behind in 2017, embarking on a journey that would change his life forever. With his small e-commerce business, Foresight, providing financial stability, he was able to fully devote himself to exploring different kiteboarding spots across the globe.
During this time, Mike honed his skills and became a popular big air kiter. His dedication and talent have not only earned him recognition but also presented opportunities to collaborate with renowned brands such as Core Kites. As their agent in South Africa, he ensures that fellow kitesurfing enthusiasts have access to high-quality equipment essential for an exhilarating experience on the water.
Furthermore, Mike is also actively involved in promoting big air kitesurfing through various platforms. As a professional kiter and YouTuber, he shares his experiences, tips, and tricks with a growing online community of kite enthusiasts. Through these channels, he inspires others to pursue their own dreams of riding the wind and conquering incredible heights.
Perhaps one of Mike’s most significant contributions to the sport is founding The Big Air Kite League. This platform provides competitive opportunities for riders worldwide while also showcasing the awe-inspiring spectacle of big air kitesurfing. By organizing events and competitions, he brings together talented athletes from all corners of the globe, fostering a sense of camaraderie within this vibrant community.
