My name is Cole Russell and I have been kiting for just over 5 years now. I started as just something to do for a hobby, but it soon became more of an obsession. I started assisting with lessons after about 6 months of riding and then a few years later opened Underground Kite Sports. My background includes years of extreme sports experience. I love to be outdoors and will do anything that can cause that natural rush. I have a 7 year old son who is also a kiter and is quickly trying to get better than his old man.
