Jason Van Der Spuy

I’m a professional kitesurfer from South Africa, born in 2001, and I’ve been kiting for over 20 years—basically growing up alongside the sport itself. I was lucky enough to start right at the beginning and have seen kitesurfing evolve and grow into what it is today. Cape Town played a big role in shaping how I ride—the strong winds and wild conditions made sure things never felt too easy, but definitely kept it fun. Kitesurfing has taken me all over the world, where I get to compete, learn, and enjoy the whole process along the way. I’m known for my short-line super loops, but for me it’s really just about trying things, pushing a bit further each session, and seeing what’s possible. Some of the best moments aren’t in competitions though—they’re the sessions with friends and like-minded people, feeding off the energy and just enjoying being on the water. That mix of progression, good vibes, and shared sessions is what makes working with WOO Sports such a natural fit.
